As the snow outside slowly melts and I try to decide what to wear when I go see The Rite tonight, why don’t you enjoy six more of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Trailers?

1) Vanishing Point (1971)

I had to include this trailer at some point since Vanishing Point is one of the key influences on Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof section of Grindhouse.  Is Vanishing Point the ultimate trip?  Maybe but I think there’s one other film that came out the same year that might disagree…

2) The Jesus Trip (1971)

And here it is!  I haven’t seen this actual film but the trailer would seem to indicate that this is some sort of religious biker film.  But then you have that final scene in the trailer and you’re kinda like, “Uhmmm….sacreligious much?”  Anyway, this is one of those trailers that I find myself watching over and over again.  I guess I was destined to grow obsessed with this trailer as it appeals to both my exploitation fanatic side and my fallen Catholic side.  Put them both together and I guess you’ve got The Jesus Trip.

Seriously, this is just a weird trailer.

3) Horror House On Highway 5 (1985)

I’ve come across this film on DVD a few times and I’ve always been seriously temped to buy it just on the basis of the title.  However, I may just end up settling for having seen the trailer because, to be honest, the trailer would seem to indicate that there’s a lot of really, really ugly people in this movie.  And ugly people kinda sorta make me nervous.

4) Revenge of the Cheerleaders (1976)

I guess this is like the grindhouse version of Bring It On.  Watching the trailer, I have to wonder why high schools in 70s movies always looked so dirty and unwashed.  I mean — BLEH!  Seriously, if my school had been that dirty, I would have ended up dropping out of school when I was 15.  I mean, gawd damn!  Get out the Scrubbing Bubbles and every sanitizer you can find and just — oh my God.  I think it’s the cafeteria that really makes me shudder.  Anyway, as for the rest of the trailer, I asked my sister Erin if it looked like a truthful depiction of high school cheerleading since she used to be one and she said no because most cheerleader don’t survive getting blown up as easily as the ones in this trailer.

5) Bad Girls Go To Hell (1965)

This is a film from the notoriously odd Doris Wishman.  Someday, somebody — maybe even me — is going to turn the life of Doris Wishman into a great novel and an even better film.

6) Shivers (1975)

And let’s close things out with a little Cronenberg.  From 1975, it’s Shivers.
