Overview

• The Piano Killer blends surreal Giallo horror with absurd piano-driven violence in a fake trailer by Eli Roth and Jeff Rendell.
• Starting August 15, the teaser will screen nationwide ahead of Jimmy and Stiggs, the first theatrical release from Roth’s The Horror Section label.
• Roth and Rendell’s faux trailers follow their successful Thanksgiving strategy, showcasing striking set-pieces without committing to full narratives.
• The trailer stars Eli Roth alongside Hailey Kittle, Jeff Teravainen and a supporting ensemble in a genre-smashing horror short.
• A “coming in 2042” tag nods to Thanksgiving’s long path to feature status and signals that audience response may determine a full-length adaptation.
