This is just a quick heads-up for all you fright fans. The theatrical trailer for "Saw II," the sequel to Lions Gate Film's surprise hit, has been released.

Released last year for the Halloween weekend, "Saw" was a tremendously refreshing (yet horrifically violent) treat amidst a genre dominated by Japanese re-makes. Staring Leigh Whannell and Cary Elwes, "Saw" detailed the exploits of a mysterious serial-killer named Jigsaw. The twist being that he never technically killed anyone. Rather, he got his victims to kill themselves.

What was essentially an independent film, "Saw" made over $55 million in box office sales, alone. Therefore, it was no surprise a sequel was announced mere days after its release.

Details are still sketchy at this point, but "Saw II" will feature actors Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith from the original "Saw." Co-writer Leigh Whannell returned to write, but will not be reprising his role as Adam. The MPAA has given the film an 'R' rating for grisly violence and gore (among other things).

The official release date for "Saw II" is October 28.
