Official “Fright Night” Remake Trailer

I asked “Why?” back in 2009, when word came over the industry wires this was in the works. So here it comes…

There are certain films that encapsulate the studio’s genre sensibilities of a certain era, and the original 1985 film is the complete package. Just the right mix of gloss, state-of-the-art (at the time) horror effects, chills and fun. Pure popcorn entertainment… and a crush-worthy girl-next-door Amanda Bearse.

This new iteration feels too tense and dark, and somehow lacks the original’s innocence. And it seems, at least from the trailer, that the producers have seriously downplayed David Tennant’s “Peter Vincent” participation. Yeah, the effects will be slick. Technically, the film will look great. But I’m not getting the “fun” vibe.

“Oh, you’re so cool, Brewster.”

“Captain America: The First Avenger” Trailer

Consider me drafted for service this summer. Let’s hope the script is as special as the effects and the art direction.

“It Might Get Loud” Trailer - Davis Guggenheim (Director)

Amped for this one. Sorry.

“Sex Galaxy” Trailer - Mike Davis (Director/Producer)

100% recycled vintage porn/cheesy sci-fi mash-up. The trailer’s scrubbed of the naughty bits, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist man to fill in the blanks. Campy goodness.  (via)

Fiend Without A Face (1958)

This post-atomic testing gem always creeped me out as a kid. Flying brains with spinal cord tails was stop-motion design genius.


Men with guns + Girl in towel + Flying Id = Marketing gold.

‘Don LaFontaine: The Voice’

No longer in the world.
