‘The Strangers – Chapter 2’ Pays Homage to ‘Halloween II’ in First Trailer

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-18 12:20:57

Maya (Madelaine Petsch) survived the horrors of The Strangers—but she can’t breathe easy yet. The hospital where she’s supposed to be recovering is hardly a safe place, as the first trailer for The Strangers – Chapter 2 reveals. Remember when Laurie Strode realized Michael Myers had followed her to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital in Halloween II, intent on finishing what he’d started in the first film? Same vibes here. As slasher fans may recall, Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dre

As threat actors grow faster, stealthier, and more persistent, the approach to pentesting needs to keep evolving.

Security testing needs to shift testing models to mirror how real-world attackers operate.
