Nightmares Beyond the Rainbow: Gale: Yellow Brick Road horror trailer 2026 Debuts

2 min readSource

Watch the exclusive Gale: Yellow Brick Road horror trailer 2026. Dorothy's granddaughter faces a nightmare Oz in this dark reimagining, hitting theaters Feb 11.

The Emerald City has fallen into shadow. Entertainment Weekly exclusively premiered the first full-length trailer for Gale: Yellow Brick Road on January 8, 2026. This isn't the whimsical Oz you remember from childhood; it's a chilling reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s world, focusing on the psychological scars left behind by Dorothy's legendary journey.

A Darker Legacy: What's New in the Gale: Yellow Brick Road trailer 2026

The story follows Emily Gale (played by Chloë Crump), the granddaughter of Dorothy Gale. Decades after the original events, an elderly Dorothy (Karen Swan) is haunted by her memories, while Emily begins to see nightmarish visions of the Yellow Brick Road. Director Daniel Alexander told EW that his vision for Oz is a world shaped by decay and emotional fracture. The trailer showcases haunting imagery, including a menacing Tin Man with an ax and a burning Scarecrow, suggesting that the magic has curdled into something far more sinister.

Planned Trilogy and Limited February Release

Executive producer Dane Petrali confirmed that this film is the opening chapter of a planned trilogy. The project originated from Alexander's 2023 short film and has now been fully expanded into a feature-length experience. Fans can catch the movie for one night only on February 11 through Fathom Entertainment. This special screening will also feature an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, offering a deeper look into how this grim version of Oz was brought to life.
