If the answer is a resounding yes, then check out the trailer for the upcoming horror film _Ouija_. The film is the latest in a rash of Hasbro-board-game-to-big-screen adaptations, though from the looks of the trailer, _Ouija_ will have a decidedly different tone from _Battleship,_ even the _Transformers_ films. The movie stars Olivia Cooke, Daren Kagasoff, Douglas Smith and Bianca A. Santos as a group of friends who use the board to connect with their dead friend. With a team of producers who’ve collectively worked on certifiably chilling films like _Paranormal Activity,_ _Insidious, The Unborn,_ _The Purge, Friday the 13th_ and _The Texas Chainsaw Massacre_, the film is almost certain to be horrifying. Of course, this isn’t the first time that Ouija has appeared in a horror movie — the board had key roles in [_The Exorcist_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qK58CZslAs "undefined") and the _Paranormal Activity_ films. But with the Oct. 24 release of _Ouija_, the terrifying, seance-conducting game will be getting the starring role it deserves. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3001313/ouija-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3001313/ouija-trailer/"},"headline":"The Trailer for Ouija Is Here and It's Terrifying","datePublished":"2014-07-17T14:51:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:12:07.826Z","description":"The Hasbro game is getting its own horror movie","url":"https://time.com/3001313/ouija-trailer/","keywords":["movies","hasbro"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3c9f4dd53516d586/69869c1c3bc99922e01a4929/ouija-movie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3c9f4dd53516d586/69869c1c3bc99922e01a4929/ouija-movie.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ouija-movie","caption":"","creditText":"Universal Pictures","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3001313/ouija-trailer/","name":"The Trailer for Ouija Is Here and It's Terrifying"}}]}] ```
