Since today would have been the 102nd birthday of director Edward D. Wood, Jr., it seems appropriate to dedicate this week’s edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse Trailers to him!
Below …. can you handle six trailers for six Ed Wood films!?
Watch, if you dare!
2. Jail Bait (1954)
3. Bride of the Monster (1955)
4. Plan 9 From Outer Space (1957)
5. Night of the Ghouls (1958)
6. The Sinister Urge (1960)
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.)
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?
Back in the day, my favorite boxer was Britain’s own Naseem Hamed, a flamboyant showman who always turned his entrance into a production but who could also back up his ego in the ring. A lot of my friends couldn’t stand Prince Naseem, as he was known, and they used to watch HBO Boxing specifically hoping to see him lose. In retrospect, he was one of the last of the genuinely entertaining boxers.
Giant, which has already been released to generally positive reviews in the UK, stars Amir El-Masry as Hamed and Pierce Brosnan in the role of Hamed’s trainer, the legendary Brendan Ingle. Judging from the just-released trailer, Brosnan, who always been the most underrated of all the actors who played James Bond, is almost unidentifiable in the role of Ingle.
Giant will be released in the U.S. later this year.
Some online folks are already predicting that Project Hail Mary is going to be a major Oscar contender. We’ll see.
For now, here’s the final trailer, which was just advertised during the Super Bowl!
This trailer took us all by surprise during the Super Bowl and all I can say is that I absolutely love it!
Here’s is the Super Bowl trailer for The Adventures of Cliff Booth!
While we wait for the teaser for The Adventures of Cliff Booth to be uploaded online, here is the Super Bowl trailer for Minions & Monsters!
I know the Minions may not be for everyone but I’ve always liked them! They’re so positive.
I swear, Grogu gets cuter every day!
Here’s the Super Bowl spot for The Mandalorian and Grogu!
Disclosure Day is Steven Spielberg’s latest film. We really don’t know much about it, beyond the fact that it appears to be science fiction and it stars Emily Blunt.
The Super Bowl spot is certainly intriguing. I’m looking forward to unraveling this film’s mysteries.
Here’s the Super Bowl spot for Scream 7.
I’m a bit of a cynic when it comes to the Scream films but this is an effective little teaser. Ghostface driving that knife into the wall over and over again? Agck!
Here is the Super Bowl spot for Hoppers, the upcoming film from PIXAR.
It looks cute!
