6 Trailers From October 2nd


Every Horrorthon, I like to bring out an old favorite of mine.  Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers used to be a regular feature here on the Shattered Lens.  Every week, I would share some of my favorite grindhouse and exploitation film trailers.  Unfortunately, it turned out that YouTube only had a limited amount of good trailers and I soon found myself having to reuse trailers to keep the series going.  As a result, this feature went from being a weekly thing to a holiday thing.

Well, it’s the holidays!

Here are six of my favorite horror trailers!  I will definitely be watching all six of these this October!

(Be warned, some of the trailers are not safe for work and feature quite a bit of blood and violence.)

  1. I Drink Your Blood (1971)

2. Messiah of Evil (1974)

3. Dawn of the Dead (1978)

4. Shock (1977)

5. Zombi 2 (1979)

6. Inferno (1980)

What do you think, Trailer Kitties?

That Insidious Trailer


A new horror film called Insidious is due to open on the 1st of April and, as a result, I’ve been inundated with the trailer lately.

This trailer leaves me curious.  I have a feeling that the movie’s going to be a big disappointment (for one thing, it’s rated PG-13 which is usually not a good sign when it comes to horror films) but the trailer has its moments.  So, unless Insidious is just an elaborate April Fool’s joke, I’ll be there to see it when it opens.
