The director also teased the upcoming movie in a new interview right before the trailer debuted.

“The first movie was a ghost movie but all the ghosts were victims, which is typical, a ghost story,” Scott told THR. “But in this one, you’ve got a ghost that is a villain.”

“A middle school coming-of-age horror movie is a different animal than a high school coming-of-age horror film,” he added. “A there’s a ratcheting up of intensity because of that.”

“It is certainly more violent, scarier, more graphic,” Scott said. “And part of that is because of the age of the kids.”
