DON'T

One of my favorite fake trailers in the GRINDHOUSE film had to be the trailer for DON'T - a fake trailer for the classic haunted house films of the 70s. The trailer's execution was perfect. It did what most trailers from the 70s did - showed every death and gave away most of the films shocks and scares. :)

I saw this and instantly thought about the trailer for another fave of mine THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE. HELL HOUSE is a slow paced haunted house film that is beautifully shot. It's fun movie to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but slightly hard to keep your eyes open for if you're like me and like your scares under cover of darkness.

Watching the trailers back to back is a fun way to see just how true to form this director was when making it. And, I can not tell you how happy I was to see that the makers of this trailer were none other than the amazing Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg of SPACED and SHAUN OF THE DEAD fame! WHOOT!

N'joy!



And, the film that inspired it.

IT'S TIME!

IT'S TIME! IT'S TIME!
Put on your masks, kids!

Seasons Greetings

The animated short by director Michael Dougherty that inspired his movie "Trick-r-Treat". If you have not seen it yet, you're in for a ...treat. :)

Kidneythieves

Kidneythieves tend to grate a bit after about three or four tracks, but in small doses, they are a lot of fun. High energy and intense guitar riffs abound as the lead singer wails out banshee-like notes through layers of electronic equipment.

Not idea for a sleepy, Sunday morning, but they work really well while pushing through deadlines at work.

The Creepshow

While THE CREEPSHOW isn't the most awesome band I've heard, they have a style that works well and a sound that is melodic and hip. The goes a long way. Something about the classic "Hot Female Lead Singer" both attracts and repels me and I'm not sure why. I think it's because I feel that she's trying to distract me from hearing that her voice isn't bad, but isn't all that great either. But, that's the way of the music world. You need a hook. And, her voice is WAY better than mine, so who am I to point fingers? :) Ok...she's pretty and can sing.

In THE GARDEN (below) we see some of the coolness. The hip hair, slick stylings and tattoos that go along with a lot of the music of this genre. And...it works here for sure. The song has a great hook with some hints of classic rockabilly and pop that make it fun to listen to an bounce along with. Most of their music is the same. Not brilliant, but super fun to listen to. And...isn't that what's important?

Give 'em a listen.
