As if I needed another reason to want to see Grindhouse as soon as humanly possible... here's comes this twisted little bit o' sickness from Eli Roth, the creator of such life-affirming movies as Cabin Fever and Hostel. It's a faux trailer for a slasher flick called Thanksgiving, and if you were alive during the late 1970s/early 1980s run of holiday-themed horror movies (kick-started by John Carpenter's Halloween), you'll realize how fucking pitch perfect this is.A couple of caveats: It's pretty gory, and there is sexual content, so don't go checking it out with your toddler perched on your lap. And I recommend downloading the whole thing and watching it in Quicktime, because you're going to want to watch it again, right away. Specifically, for a little surprise where you'll be like, I did not just see that, but in fact, a repeat viewing will confirm that yes, yes you did.
Oh my gentle Jesus I cannot wait to see this movie. Or, movies. Whatever.
You watched it with Parker on your lap, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteCome on, now. Parker's not a toddler.
ReplyDeleteFive is old enough to watch flesh eating and disembowlments!
ReplyDeleteA turkey?
ReplyDeleteYes, brilliant. I've been waiting for this for months.
HAHAHAHAAA! That is awesome.
ReplyDeleteIs that Michael "Worf" Dorn doing the voice over?
Ah, if only Fangoria were still around to cover it ... sniff ...
ReplyDeleteA fantabulous cover story in Entertainment Weekly this weeks, as well...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for introducing me to this trailer. In every significant way, I am a richer man for having watched it. Three times.
ReplyDeleteTim--what do you mean? Fango is definitely still around. This month's cover, in fact, features Grindhouse.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, are you kidding? It hasn't been published continuously since I remember it, has it?
ReplyDeleteWell, look at that -- #262. The first issue I ever bought was #20. Cover was E.G. Marshall getting eaten by cockroaches in Creepshow.
