Happy Halloween! For today’s special edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse and Exploitation Film Trailers, we are paying tribute to the great George Romero! Here are six trailers, all for films directed by the master of American horror! How many of them have you watched this October?
Our first trailer comes to us from director George A. Romero. The monkey from this trailer also made an appearance in Toy Story 3.
2) Survival Run (1979)
As a film, Survival Run looks pretty bad but I think this trailer actually provides a public service. Seriously, stay out of the desert. Between the radiation mutants and the drug smugglers, there’s nothing good to be found out there.
3) Streets (1990)
I can imagine the tag line for a rerelease of this film — “Before Christina Applegate was keeping it Up All Night, she was keeping it up on the Streets!” I have to give credit for this discovery to the newest addition to TSL, the Trash Film Guru. Check out his review here.
4) Street Asylum (1990)
Continuing the theme of the streets, here’s another film about urban crime. This one stars Wings Hauser and G. Gordon Liddy.
5) Fatal Skies (1990)
Things aren’t much safer in the skies. This film, oddly enough, apparently star Timothy Leary.
6) The Freeway Maniac (1988)
Obviously, he’s been spending too much time on Central Expressway during rush hour. (Yes, that’s a Dallas-centric comment.)
