A new red-band trailer for the Foo Fighters’ upcoming horror film, Studio 666, promises fans blood and gore aplenty. Based on a story from the band's front man and music legend Dave Grohl, the horror-comedy was reportedly filmed in secret by Jack Reacher and Top Gun: Maverick camera operator B. J. McDonnell based on a script penned by Pet Semetary’s Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes. The first non-documentary film to feature the Foo Fighters, the film follows Grohl and his bandmates as they attempt to battle supernatural threats while they record their tenth album.
With the film set to hit theaters later this week, the band has released an ultra-violent, and blood stained trailer promising all kinds of rock ‘n roll mayhem on the official Foo Fighters YouTube channel. Complete with chainsaws, woodchippers, decapitations and a demonically possessed and projectile vomiting Grohl, the band promises the new trailer will “f--- you up”. Check it out below:

Over the years Grohl’s unique sense of humor has often made its way into his band’s various film clips, including his memorable costumed outings in "Learn to Fly" and "Long Road to Ruin." This latest project, and it’s over the top horror sensibilities, seems like the next natural progression for the band that he has previously described as the only ones “stupid enough to do something like this.” Of course fictional band movies such as this certainly aren’t a new thing, and were once exceedingly popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Even Kiss had previously tried their own hand at horror, in the goofy yet memorable 1978 outing Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park. Whether or not the Foo Fighters manage to reignite an interest in band films with Studio 666 remains to be seen, but by all accounts, it certainly seems like it will be a bloody good time for fans of horror and the band itself.
