A new trailer for INTO THE DARK's April episode, titled "Pooka Lives," marks the return of the murderous meme made internet famous by the horror anthology series. The upcoming episode is of course a sequel to the Nacho Vigalondo-directed Christmas-themed episode "Pooka," only this time the follow-up frightfest will be directed by JUAN OF THE DEAD's Alejandro Brugués.
