The Harvest Festival lights flicker, the calliope sours, and Frendo’s grin is back—whether the mask hides a copycat, a cult, or something meaner than memory. Quinn returns to Kettle Springs with scars and a plan, but the town’s apology tour becomes a parade of alibis as #FrendoLives starts trending.

The trailer rips through set‑pieces: a corn‑maze drone hunt that turns into a strobe of red flares; a grain‑silo “avalanche” roaring like dry thunder; a hayride ambush where pumpkins grin wider than the masks; Ferris wheel frozen at the top while the clown climbs from the spokes.

Scarecrows stand in a perfect row—then all their heads turn. A combine’s teeth glitter under fireworks; gym bleachers collapse in a cheer that no one finished; the water tower smiles with fresh paint and worse intentions. Sound design scrapes tin and laughter; edits cut on chant and chains. Final sting: phones across town light up with the same push alert—KEEP SMILING—before the tassels part around a plastic face.
