Following in the wake of Wicked: For Good, L. Frank Baum’s classic tale of The Wizard of Oz is now getting a wildly unofficial horror movie with Gale: Yellow Brick Road this year.
Watch the official trailer for the Wizard of Oz horror movie below.
Gale: Yellow Brick Road will have a one-night-only theatrical engagement on February 11, 2026 from Chilling Films and Fathom Entertainment. Screenings will be accompanied by a five-minute making-of featurette exploring the reimagined Oz and its characters — some of whom have never appeared in live-action before — along with behind-the-scenes footage.
Here’s the new plot synopsis: “Decades after her return from Oz, Dorothy Gale, now an elderly woman, is tormented by memories of a world no one believes existed – a world that has grown darker with time. Whispers of that land still haunt her dreams, and its nightmares have begun to reach beyond the yellow brick road into reality, threatening everything she holds dear. Her granddaughter, Emily, inherits the curse tied to her family’s name.
“Drawn by unanswered questions and visions she cannot explain, Emily finds herself pulled into the ruins of a realm once filled with wonder, now decayed and ruled by madness and horrors. There, she encounters the twisted remnants of familiar figures and discovers that the line between past and present, dream and reality, has been shattered.
“To escape, Emily must confront the terror that consumed Dorothy, and the truth about Oz – and what really lies at the end of the yellow brick road.”
Daniel Alexander makes his feature directorial debut from a script by Matthew R. Ford, the duo together expanding on their 2023 short .
