'Elevator Game' trailer brings a terrifying urban legend to life

You'd have thought people would have learned from Candyman that testing out terrifying urban legends isn't the best idea, but here we are.

In the trailer above for Rebekah McKendry's Elevator Game, a group of friends stumble into a nightmare when they try to document the eponymous ritual (based on a real urban legend that's been floating around the internet for years), which basically involves visiting different floors on an elevator in a specific sequence to try and access another world. The problem? There's a horrifying entity known as "The 5th Floor Woman" that you risk encountering along the way.

Elevator Game lands on Shudder on Sept. 15.
