On Wednesday, Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label, DREAD, debuted the official trailer for “The Jester 2,” which will be released in theaters nationwide with a special two-night screening event on September 15 and 16, 2025, in collaboration with Fathom Entertainment.
Written and directed by Colin Krawchuk, “The Jester 2” is set on Halloween night and tells the story of teen magician Max, who finds herself locked in a brutal showdown with the Jester, a nightmarish and supernatural trickster wielding real dark magic and a killer act. As illusions turn lethal and every escape is a trap, Max must pull off the ultimate trick: staying alive. On this deadly night, the only escape… is to beat the devil at its own game.
The film stars Michael Sheffield (“The Jester”), Kaitlyn Trentham (“Murder Made Me Famous”), Jessica Ambuehl (“Becoming”), and Dingani Beza (“23 Minutes to Sunrise”).
