A red-band trailer for Ghost House Pictures’ upcoming vampire frightener 30 Days of Night: Dark Days was premiered at Comic-Con earlier this week. The film is a direct-to-home-video sequel to David Slade’s 30 Days of Night and stars “LOST” players Kiele Sanchez and Harold Perrineau, “Vampire Diaries” alum Mia Kirshner, and Diora Baird (Night of the Demons).

Take a look:

30 Days of Night: Dark Days is directed by Ben Ketai and based on the acclaimed horror-comic created by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith. Sanchez replaces original 30 Days of Night star Melissa George as the series lead Stella Oleson.

The official synopsis reads:

It’s been a year since the Alaskan town of Barrow’s population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist.

Met with skepticism and laughter, Stella is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls (Coiro, Baird and Perrineau) offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith (Kirshner), the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town.

With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.

30 Days of Night: Dark Days costars Katie Keating (The Exorcism of Emily Rose), Monique Ganderton (Cabin in the Woods), Rhys Coiro (The Unborn), Ben Cotton (“Harper’s Island”), James Pizzinato (“Fringe”), Troy Ruptash, and Stacey Roy.

The film arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on Oct. 5.
