Throughout the trailer, there are multiple shots of local teacher Mr. Grooberson (Paul Rudd) encountering Terror Dogs who appear in both spectral and corporeal forms. Because of the way the trailer’s cut, it’s hard to tell whether Mr. Grooberson ends up being possessed by one of the mutts, but the way the corporeal dog lunges at him while he’s running for his life in a big box store certainly makes it seem like the thing wants to do more than play fetch.
Bringing the Terror Dogs back in such a big way seems to be one of Ghostbusters: Afterlife’s attempts at luring diehard fans of the original movie to theaters. We won’t know whether or not that jolt of nostalgia’s enough to catapult the movie box office success until Ghostbusters: Afterlife hits theaters on November 19. You can read io9’s review here.
