Creepy First Look Teaser for ‘The Third Parent’ Horror Feat. Rob Lowe​

“Can I help you?” Bleecker Street has finally revealed a first look teaser for a dark new horror movie called The Third Parent, the latest inspired-by-the-internet horror feature on the menu in early 2027. This film has been apeparing on the release schedule for years, shifting dates and being pushed back over & over – now it’s officially, finally set and ready for release in January 2027. Amidst the 4th of July celebrations, a disturbing figure named Tommy Taffy (played by Crispin Glover) emerges, disguising himself as a human to infiltrate a suburban neighborhood and impose authoritarian rule over an unsuspecting family. “Your family will soon be complete.” Inspired by the viral “creepypasta” series of internet-based stories from writer Elias Witherow. Starring Rob Lowe, Crispin Glover, Roselyn Sánchez, Bethany Milner, Rafael de Belligny, Gary Michael Walters. This is an effective teaser that doesn’t really show much at all (except all these freaky drawings), but it will get your attention and make you wonder what’s coming next with this ominous figure at the door. I definitely do not want this “third parent” around my family at all. Stay tuned.

Here’s the first teaser trailer for David Michaels’ horror film The Third Parent, direct from YouTube:
