'80s horror vibes abound in the trailer for Night of the Reaper, a Shudder slasher from Z director Brandon Christensen.

The trailer above is packed full of pretty much every trope that will appeal to a slasher connoisseur: A masked killer, a terrifying babysitting job, and some mysterious video cassettes being left behind for the police.

Given that Christensen is already responsible for some of the scariest films on Shudder, this should be one to mark in your calendars.

Night of the Reaper comes to Shudder Sept. 19.
