Last Thursday, SoCal horror fans were running as if their lives depended on it, thanks to Lionsgate and filmmaker Renny Harlin. Recently, the distributor behind THE STRANGERS – CHAPTER 3, opening only in theatres on February 6, hosted an immersive 3k “survival” run in Malibu. However, fatigue and sore muscles were the least of these would-be athletes’ worries as they faced a gauntlet of the franchise’s masked killers. Those who managed to cross the finish line alive in this murderous mini-marathon were rewarded with a sneak peek at the final film in Harlin’s three-movie reboot of the slasher series. 

Check out the highlights below:

“Run, don’t walk – to see how it ends!” Tickets for THE STRANGERS – CHAPTER 3 are on sale now.
