'Strangers: Prey at Night' Release Date, News: New Poster Released
Aviron Pictures has dropped the new poster for "Strangers: Prey at Night" ahead of the holidays. The film is set to hit theaters in the first quarter of next year and the studio is already making the most of the holidays to promote the film.
The three psychopaths from the original film are at the forefront in the new poster, standing against a black backdrop. The one at the center is shown holding an ax while the other two show their hands clasped as if praying. While the poster seems plain and does not reveal anything about the plot of the upcoming film, it does tease that the sequel is ready to give viewers more creeps.
A few days before the unveiling of the new poster for the film, Aviron Pictures launched the #25DaysofPreyer on Instagram to offer fans some spooky holiday fun. This Instagram event involves daily advent calendar postings and is meant to build the hype around the upcoming horror film.
