Trailer of the Week: The Masque of the Red Death (1964)

This is one of the better Roger Corman Poe films with absolutely no connection at all to current events...

At least I hope so.

Trailer of the Week: Die, Monster, Die!

Proof that an ailing Boris Karloff and a Edgar Allan Poe-ized adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's "The Color Out of Space" do not make for a very watchable combination.

Trailer of the Week: Hellboy (2004)

It seems kinda sad to watch this trailer in the wake of actress Selma Blair's real-life health problems. Here's hoping that she gets better.

Trailer of the Week: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The movie that most Buffy fans -- including myself -- like to forget.

Trailer of the Week: Ready or Not (2019)

Hollywood's latest salute to traditional marriage.

Oddly enough, this flick was considered to be more politically acceptable than The Hunt.

Trailer of the Week: The Hunt

It's the movie that President Donald Trump doesn't want you to see. And that's supposed to be a bad thing?

Trailer of the Week: Night of the Lepus

Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies!

Trailer of the Week: My Bloody Valentine (1981)

The first of several sadistic horror films dedicated to Saint Valentine's Day. On the plus side, I can't really argue that it is not seasonal.

Trailer of the Week: Mary Shelley

As I've noted before, this year marks the 200th anniversary of the first publication of the Mary Shelley novel Frankenstein. It would be nice to think that this film is the ideal gift for that anniversary, but alas, I have not seen it yet and some of that dialogue in this trailer doesn't sound too promising. So I guess I better keep my fingers crossed.

Trailer of the Week: Friday the 13th (1980)

Because it's that day.

Trailer of the Week: Creature from the Black Lagoon

This week I post the trailer for the movie that so obviously inspired Guillermo del Toro's latest project.

Trailer of the Week: Frankenstein (1931)

In honor of Frankenstein's 200th anniversary, I present the trailer for its most famous movie version.

Trailer of the Week: Gojira (1954)

You say Gojira, I say Godzilla. Let's call the whole thing off...

But, seriously, folks...

This is the trailer for the original Japanese version of the movie that we Americans call Godzilla.

Trailer of the Week: Dawn of the Dead (1978)

And you thought this year's Black Friday shopping sprees were bad.

Trailer of the Week: She-Wolf of London (1946)

Oh, no! It's June Lockhart and it looks like she's suffering from a bad case of Kate Hodge Disease. If only Ms. Hodge had the type of career Ms. Lockhart had after this movie.

Trailer of the Week: Munster, Go Home! (1966)

Herman Munster inheriting an English estate? Sounds like a nice trick considering the fact that Munster doesn't sound too much like an English surname. But then the poor man has inadvertently scared more people than Casper the Friendly Ghost so no doubt he is long overdue for some good luck.

And if you think Marilyn Munster looks strange as a redhead, don't worry. Pat Priest -- who played one of the Marilyns on the original show -- probably thought so too. However, she was passed over by the studio in favor of new actress Debbie Watson when they were doing the casting so her opinion didn't matter.

Trailer of the Week: House of Wax (1953)

What? An entire movie shot in 3-D? How come Hollywood doesn't make movies like this anymore?

Trailer of the Week: The Tingler (1959)

Oh no! Vincent Price is trapped in a William Castle movie. Is there no way he can escape?

Trailer of the Week: 13 Ghosts (1960)

It's a good thing they don't use silly visual gimmicks to try and sell movie tickets nowadays.
