HBO Max released the trailer for upcoming horror movie “Caddo Lake” Thursday from visionary M. Night Shyamalan.
The trailer for “Caddo Lake” comes to us right in time for spooky season, though it doesn’t really give much away about the actual story. One presumes there is a lake involved somehow.
” … when an eight-year-old girl mysteriously vanishes, a series of past deaths and disappearances start to link together, forever altering a broken family’s history,” Deadline wrote in their coverage of the trailer. While this sounds pretty miserable, the trailer does suggest this story will be more spooky than sad.
Dylan O’Brien and Eliza Scanlen star, alongside Diana Hopper, Caroline Falk, Sam Hennings, Eric Lange and Lauren Ambrose. (RELATED: Will Ferrell Going On A Transgender Road Trip Before Launching EDM Career Was Not On Our 2024 Bingo Card)
The writers, Celine Held and Logan George, came up with the story after seeing a photograph of the real Caddo Lake online, Deadline reported. The 27,472-acre body of water sits along Big Cypress Creek, split roughly between Texas and Louisiana, according to Texas Parks & Wildlife.

(Original Caption) Drilling over water has come a long way, too. Here is the first sucessful “marine” effort. This is a 1910 scene at Lake Caddo in Louisiana. The crew boats were pirogues, the pilings were of cypress logs. Undated photograph.

The lake is not without nonfiction tragedy. In 2023, a man was found dead in the lake, suspected to be the victim of a hit-and-run, according to KTBS. Shortly thereafter, a man was found dead, partially hanging out of his boat on the lake, KSLA reported.
The series will hit HBO on Oct. 10.
