He expanded the mythology of the Paranormal Activity franchise and pitted boy scouts against the living dead (with hilarious and gory results), and now Christopher Landon is wishing viewers a Happy Death Day with his new horror comedy that's teased in a brief video ahead of the full trailer's release this week.

Universal Pictures will release Blumhouse's Happy Death Day in theaters on Friday, October 13th:

"Blumhouse (Split, Get Out, Whiplash) produces an original and inventive rewinding thriller in HAPPY DEATH DAY, in which a college student (Jessica Rothe, La La Land) relives the day of her murder with both its unexceptional details and terrifying end until she discovers her killer’s identity.

HAPPY DEATH DAY is directed by Christopher Landon (Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones) and written by Scott Lobdell and Landon."
