The Foo Fighters try to rock out in the face of an onslaught of supernatural forces in the new teaser for their upcoming horror-comedy flick, Studio 666, set to arrive Feb. 25, 2022.
The short clip opens like a standard music video or behind-the-scenes rock doc, with the band arriving at the studio, plugging in and starting to play. But in a classic horror twist, things start to go south when the whites of frontman Dave Grohl’s eyes suddenly turn black and then — even more disconcerting — he begins levitating.
The rest of the teaser doesn’t give anything away in terms of plot, but there’s plenty of horror mayhem — from creepy spellbooks to gory monsters — as well as some very loud guitar riffs.
Studio 666 was announced at the start of November and is described as a fictional take on the events that occurred when the Foo Fighters recorded their most recent album, Medicine at Midnight, at a haunted mansion in Encino, California. Grohl wrote the story for the film, while the screenplay was completed by Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes; BJ McDonnell directed Studio 666. Along with all six members of the Foo Fighters, the Studio 666 cast boasts Jeff Garlin, Will Forte, and Whitney Cummings.
