1) Teenage Caveman (1957)
2) Caveman (1981)
3) One Million Years B.C. (1966)
4) The Land That Time Forgot (1975)
5) The People That Time Forgot (1977)

Did everyone out there have a good St. Patrick’s Day weekend? I know I did and, the morning, I woke up with the hangover to prove it! Fortunately, even though I was busy dancing and drinking, I knew that I could depend on the trailer kitties to gather 6 more of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film trailers.
Here’s what they found for us this week:
1) The Pink Angels (1971)
2) The Mad Bomber (1973)
3) The Warrior and the Sorceress (1984)
4) Wizards of the Lost Kingdom (1985)
5) Hercules (1958)
6) The Last Chase (1981)
What do you think, trailer kitty?
Welcome to another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film trailers!
1) Terminal Island (1973)
This trailer (which contains some nudity and is NSFW) seems appropriate for Spring Break.
2) The Big Gundown (1966)
How can you go wrong with Lee Van Cleef and Tomas Milian in the same film?
3) Slaughter (1972)
With a name like Slaughter, he’s got to be good.
4) Slaughter’s Big Rip-Off (1973)
Not surprisingly, Slaughter would return.
5) The Beatniks (1960)
However, before Van Cleef, Milian, and Slaughter, there were … BEATNIKS!
6) The Horror of Dracula (1958)
I’m including this trailer in honor of Christopher Lee who is now … Sir Christopher Lee!
What do you think, Trailer Kitties?
Hi everyone and welcome to the merry month of March! As I sit here writing this, I’m still trying to recover from the amazing shock of having not only The Amazing Race, The Walking Dead, Enlightened, and Girls to watch on Sunday but now, the Celebrity Apprentice as well!
(I’m rooting for Lisa Rinna, by the way. She’s a Lisa and we stick together…)
However, I will not allow a little exhaustion to prevent me from sharing yet another edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film trailers!
1) Heavy Traffic (1973)
2) Who Saw Her Die? (1972)
3) Navajo Joe (1966)
4) The Blood-Stained Shadow (1978)
5) Black Belly of the Tarantula (1971)
6) A Black Veil For Lisa (1968)
I’ve actually shared this one before but I just love this trailer so much that I had to share it a second time. “Every man fears a Lisa…”
