Good Boy Trailer: Haunted House Horror Told Through a Dog's Eyes Ahead of October 3 Release
From the start, the preview nods to classic dog themes with on-screen lines like 'man's best friend,' 'always by your side' and 'through the good times.' The tone shifts when suspicious sounds cut through the night. Eerie knocking and a sequence of someone pounding their forehead into a door raise the stakes. Indy reacts first, barking and investigating as strange things unfold. The clip ends on a sharp cut, leaving viewers on a cliffhanger.
Here's what the trailer shows
Brief, fast clips follow Indy as he scampers through woods and patrols the property at night. Todd's grandfather, played by Larry Fessenden, appears in a tense moment that hints at something more sinister, letting out a 'bloodcurdling growl' as Indy looks on. The trailer focuses on the dog's bravery.
The official synopsis calls Indy 'our canine hero' and adds: 'Our canine hero, Indy, finds himself on a new adventure with his human owner - and best friend - Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. From the start, two things are abundantly clear: Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering.'
Can Indy protect his owner?
The trailer asks this question without answering it. Indy's perspective drives the tension. Viewers see ordinary noises become threats. Short, sharp edits and night sequences build suspense around the haunted house angle. The film promises a blend of family loyalty and supernatural danger, with the dog at the center of the story.
Good Boy is director Ben Leonberg's feature debut, and Leonberg cast his own dog, Indy, in the lead role. The movie premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in March. IFC Films will release Good Boy in North American theaters on October 3, with a U.K. release set for October 10. The cast also includes Arielle Friedman, Anya Krawcheck and Stuart Rudin.

Robert Plant adds new shows after massive demand for 2025 tour; check ticket prices from lowest to highest
Want to see Robert Plant live? You are not alone. The former Led Zeppelin frontman and lyricist is hitting the road with his band Saving Grace for a 15-date North American tour later this year. After tickets sold quickly, Plant added more shows to meet demand. 'Due to massive demand, Robert Plant and Saving Grace will perform two additional shows on Monday, 29 September, in Kingston, London,' read a recent post on Instagram announcing extra dates. Tour dates and ticket prices The tour begins on October 30 at the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling, West Virginia, and ends on November 22 in Los Angeles. Tickets are already selling fast, with prices ranging from $120 to more than $900 depending on the city and venue. As of publication, the lowest ticket price available was $130 on Vivid Seats. Other venues are starting anywhere from $200 to $900, including fees. Vivid Seats confirmed that all transactions are safe under their 100% buyer guarantee. Key stops in the tour include Brooklyn's Paramount Theater on November 5, Port Chester's Capitol Theatre on November 8, and two back-to-back nights in Chicago. Plant will also perform in Boston, Toronto, Seattle, Oakland, and Los Angeles. What to expect at the shows Fans wondering about the setlist should not expect the biggest Led Zeppelin hits. Plant is known for mixing solo material, obscure covers, and select Zeppelin tracks. Based on past concerts, he often performs songs like Gallows Pole, Going to California, and Ramble On, along with tracks from his solo albums. Speaking to Mojo Magazine about his approach, Plant said, 'The gigs are small enough so that if nobody wants to go, it's not the end of the world. And so, by having that laissez-faire, easy-going, whatever it's called, suicidal!, attitude, instead of doing the football stadium with some old mates, there it was: we were free. We could mess about.' He also pointed out that many fans overlook some of Zeppelin's finest work. 'Most people have missed some of the best Zeppelin stuff,' Plant told Mojo. ''For Your Life' on 'Presence.' 'Achilles Last Stand!' Fucking hell. Just extraordinary that three people and a singer [could] do that… [We'd] been shambolic at times and great other times. That's how it should be if you're taking risks like that.' New album with Saving Grace Alongside the tour, Plant and the band, Saving Grace will release a new album titled Saving Grace on September 26. The record was completed between April 2019 and January 2025 and will include a mix of traditional folk songs and covers of artists like the Carter Family, Memphis Minnie, Blind Willie Johnson, and Moby Grape. The album tracklist features, Chevrolet, As I Roved Out, It's A Beautiful Day Today, Soul Of A Man, Ticket Taker, I Never Will Marry, Higher Rock, Too Far From You, Everybody's Song, and Gospel Plough. The music leans into folk and roots sounds, different from Led Zeppelin's heavy rock but still deeply connected to Plant's lifelong interest in blues and traditional music. Other Led Zeppelin connections While on Plant tours with Saving Grace, fans of the band's music will also have another option. Jason Bonham, son of the late Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, is extending his 'Led Zeppelin Evening' tour in 2025. That show celebrates the 50th anniversary of Zeppelin's 1975 album Physical Graffiti. Complete 2025 tour schedule and prices October 30 – Wheeling, WV – Capitol Theatre ($227) November 2 – Charlottesville, VA – Paramount Theater ($404) November 3 – Washington, DC – Lincoln Theatre ($314) November 5 – Brooklyn, NY – Brooklyn Paramount ($296) November 6 – Boston, MA – Shubert Theatre ($399) November 8 – Port Chester, NY – Capitol Theatre ($397) November 10 – Toronto, ON – Massey Hall ($130) November 12 – Chicago, IL – The Vic ($455) November 13 – Chicago, IL – Old Town School of Folk Music ($900) November 15 – Denver, CO – Ellie Caulkins Opera House ($302) November 18 – Seattle, WA – The Moore Theatre ($244) November 19 – Vancouver, BC – Vogue Theatre ($203) November 21 – Oakland, CA – The Fox ($289) November 22 – Los Angeles, CA – United Theater on Broadway ($422) November 23 – Valley Center, CA – Harrah's Resort ($200) All ticket prices are listed in US dollars and may vary based on demand, with additional fees applied at checkout.
