The trailer starts off with Gabbie telling her son the place isn’t as warm as she expected but she will light a candle and everything will be good with Travis looking scared and uncomfortable. Suddenly, a ghost starts chasing them and they are really scared. We see the priest known as Kent in the next scene talking about how the mansion is unhinged and how Gabbie needs all the help she can get. The next scene is basically Kent trying to convince Ben and he accepts the offer for $1000. We get a scene with Ben walking in the house in basically 2d format. The music playing in the background is “House without windows” by Roy Orbison and the camera viewpoint is like the outside of the house. The camera shows Ben walking through a window and whenever he passes an area with no window, we see a message given to fans by Disney. There’s also a message before we see Ben walking by. He passes by three windows with the same picture on the wall. Later, we see Gabbie telling Ben about how the house plays Tricks on and later some jump scares involving Ben. The second part of the teaser trailer was just some horror and comedic moments .Fans see windows closing on its own, monster, ghosts, the dead and there’s also a cool car scene in the end .
It ends the main cast contemplating to open a door. Harriet says more powerful entities might come out of it. Ben asks what they should do and Kent holding an axe. Gabbie then talks about how they’re already dead but Kent says he will still kill them.
