The trailer has arrived for The Barn Part III, the upcoming third and intended final installment in writer/director Justin M. Seaman’s retro Halloween slasher franchise.
Set years after the events of The Barn Part II, the new movie once again brings the series’ sinister supernatural creatures back for another Halloween massacre. The trailer promises plenty of monsters, practical gore, and old school horror mayhem as the characters attempt to put an end to the evil trio once and for all.

Seaman previously teased that the third Barn movie would raise the stakes while bringing the story to a conclusion. “Of course we’re going to have monsters killing and splattering guts everywhere, but the stakes are a little higher,” Seaman said. “We’re going to wrap this whole thing up and tie a lot of loose ends.”
The Barn Part III takes place years after the events of The Barn Part II, with the survivors still living with the fear that the evil three could return to complete their harvest.
The first Barn movie was released in 2016 and was set on Halloween night in 1989. The story followed best friends Sam and Josh as they headed out for one final Devil’s Night before graduating high school. When they and their friends stumbled across an abandoned barn on the way to a rock concert, they accidentally awakened the evil creatures lurking inside.
The Barn Part II picked up three years later, following Michelle after she survived the events in Wheary Falls. Still haunted by unanswered questions about what happened to Sam, Josh and their missing friends, Michelle finds herself dealing with the past again when she and her friend Heather take charge of their college’s annual haunted house.
The trilogy has become something of a reunion for fans of ’80s and ’90s horror, with The Barn Part III bringing together a particularly impressive collection of genre veterans. The cast includes Courtney Gains (Children of the Corn), Kelli Maroney (Night of the Comet, Chopping Mall), Ari Lehman (Friday the 13th), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), William Ragsdale (Fright Night), and John Kassir, the voice of the Cryptkeeper from Tales from the Crypt.
Returning The Barn and The Barn Part II star Mitch Musolino is also back, joined by Jessa Jupiter Flux (Debbie Does Demons), Kansas Bowling (The Third Saturday in October Part V), Angel Nichole Bradford (Crackcoon), Ellie Church (Space Babes from Outer Space), Tristan Olsen (American Flake), Amanda Byrne (Moonshine), and Jake McClellan (HeBGB TV).
Seaman directed The Barn Part III from a screenplay he wrote with cinematographer Zane Hershberger. P.J. Starks and Eric Huskisson are producing, with Simon Lustenberger and Gareth “Slasher Trash” Morgan executive producing. The movie comes from Nevermore Production Films, in association with Blood Moon Pictures.
The Barn Part III is also beginning its festival run. The film is screening at Popcorn Frights Film Festival and is scheduled to continue on to events including FrightFest in London, Sin City Horror Fest, GenreBlast, and Sitges in Spain. There is currently no wide release date for The Barn Part III, but with the festival run now underway and the trailer finally here, fans of the series have their first substantial look at the final chapter.
