Feature Trailer for Ouija: Origin of Evil.
In 1967 Los Angeles, a widowed mother and her two daughters add a new stunt to bolster their seance scam business and unwittingly invite authentic evil into their home. When the youngest daughter is overtaken by a merciless spirit, the family confronts unthinkable fears to save her and send her possessor back to the other side.

Flanagan directs from a screenplay he wrote with his Oculus and Before I
Wake collaborator, Jeff Howard, and Universal will distribute the film
worldwide.

The first trailer used Herman's Hermits "I'm Into Something Good" as a slow oldies song, and this new trailer is sticking to same formula by using The Zombies "Time Of The Season". There is something appealing to a calming classic song and what is supposed to be terrifying horror.
The studio set up a screening for a special audience, who apparently looked to be jumpiest audience they could find, and filmed their reactions. A lot of people seemed to be genuinely scared, which is a good sign. But, then the studio played a cruel joke and freaked everyone out when the real Paulina Zander (Annalise Basso) appeared in the theater. You can check out the Viral Playlist Prank HERE.
I am still on the fence whether or not this will end up being a good horror film. I think people will go out to see it based on how they liked the first film, but I may not be one of them.
