Shudder's creepy 'The Dark and the Wicked' trailer is some serious nightmare fuel
Watch Next

The strange death of an elderly relative. The discovery of an old diary. Creepy phone calls.

Shudder dropped the trailer for Bryan Bertino's upcoming creep fest The Dark and the Wicked on Sunday, and it's ticking all sorts of horror boxes.

Written and directed by Bertino, who was behind popular horrors The Strangers and The Monster, The Dark and the Wicked tells the story of a man returning to his rural farm home to visit his dying father. Needless to say, though, spooky goings on quickly ensue.

The Dark and the Wicked drops on Shudder Feb. 25.
