Updates

As you can see, I've made some updates to the site. Nothing radical, but I cleaned up a little in the links section, and added a few elements. I'm going to try out Google Adsense for a while... maybe I can make a few bucks so that I can buy an extra trailer-dvd once in a while. So click on those ads ;)

A little information on what's coming the next year:
  • Cannibals
  • Spaghetti Westerns
  • Ed Wood
  • Freddy Kruger
  • Snuff
  • Giallos
  • Vintage XXX
  • Video Nasties
  • DVD Recommendations
  • Funny Wednesdays
  • Secret Fridays
  • ...and more.

I'm also thinking about making a DVD with the trailers I've put up on the site. First a giallo compilation (I've got 30 at the moment), and then a "Prevues..." comp. But I need a good program (preferably a freeware), so if you know of any: let me know!

I'm also gonna put up a few music compilations. Im thinking about a couple of giallo-themed comps, and one with music used in the trailers I've put up.

I'm probably not gonna post more trailers this year, but who knows.... Stay tuned! And a happy new year to all of you! :D

A Christmas Carol

I couldn't not post a christmas trailer, so here you have one for A Christmas Carol. It's based on the novel by Charles Dickens, and is the tale about the old Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim... you know the story!

This trailer is called A Fireside Chat with Lionel Barrymore. (Barrymore was actually going to play Scrooge, but because of illness he couldn't. So instead he suggested his friend Reginald Owen, who ended up playing the part.) In the trailer Barrymore sits by the fireside (doh!), and introduces the novel and film. Gotta love these kind of trailers!

See it here, at 8,49Mb. Merry christmas!

Sergio Leone Filmography

Sergio Leone (1929-1989) is one of the best filmmakers there ever was. He made only a few films, six to be exact, where he had full directorial credit. His first an probably best know film is A Fistful of Dollars, starring Clint Eastwood as The Man with no Name. The Man with no Name gimmick was just something that the American distributors came up with; his character actually does have a nickname in all of the Dollars films, but the dialog where it is mentioned was cut from the American releases...

Today, you get the trailers for his six films. Enjoy!

A Fistful of Dollars, 7,72Mb.


For a Few Dollars More, 12Mb.


The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, 11,2Mb. This is the French trailer for the film, which uses alternative angles from scenes in the movie, and also footage from unused scenes.


An Fistful of Dynamite, 9,28Mb. This film is also know as Duck You Sucker!


Once Upon a Time in the West, 9,75Mb. Dario Argento co-wrote the script for this film.


Once Upon a Time in America, 8Mb. Sergio Leones last film, completed just before he died.

Some links of interest:

Merry Christmas everyone!

Glen or Glenda

Glen or Glenda was the first feature made by Ed Wood in 1953. I have to be honest, it's not good. It's pretty bad. Awful actually. But this trailer is pretty nice!

Check it out here, 9,92Mb.

This print is from a 25th anniversary re-release.

Ed Wood

Tim Burton's Ed Wood... what's there to say? It's pure genius! One of my all time favourite films about one of the worst filmmakers of all time, Edward Davis Wood, Jr. They're bad, but entertaining, more than you can say about much of the stuff Hollywood makes these days.

If you haven't seen this film yet, then shame on you. It's a fucking masterpiece. Actors are beyond good, story is good, script is funny. What's not to like?!

Check it out here, 7,76Mb.

Expect to see some trailers for good ol' Ed Wood classics in the near future!

Killers with powertools

"Killers with powertools", that's the theme of this post. The Toolbox Murders (1979) started a wave of films that all wanted to cash in on maniacs finding other ways to use their powertools.

Both of todays trailers was listed on the notorious Video nasties-list.

The Toolbox Murders, 7,8Mb.

The Driller Killer, 1,88Mb. This is a short trailer/teaser, at only 33s, hence the size.

Enjoy!

Prevues has been 6 months online!

Six months anniversary!

Six months ago, on the 6th of June, Prevues of Coming Attractions opened for business. It's now gone six months, so this has to be celebrated. Wohoo!

Last friday, I tried to upload a Secret Friday but I forgot it and went to see old Disney classics and Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. The next day I was going to upload a couple of trailers, but Blogger wasn't working. Why am I telling you all this? Because this is the 66th post, on the day of the 6 months anniversary. The site opened 06.06.06... can you see the signs?! 666 two times! It's the devils work I tell you, the Devil!!! And I don't want to make the devil angry, so here are The Omen trailers for you. Both the 1976 and 2006 versions (from YouTube. Sorry, but I don't have better versions):

1976 (Richard Donner)


2006 (John Moore)

Also check out this teaser for the 2006 version, it's pretty nice!

But now for the real goodies! I've picked seven (yes, seven!) wonderful trailers for you to watch. Why not six and go with the whole 666 thing I've got going? I don't know... but seven is better than six!


First up is George Lucas' American Graffiti. An old classic that you just have to see if you haven't already. Shows that the man can make other stuff than just Star Wars ;). A funny buddy/last-night-with-the-gang film. Here, at 8,78Mb.

No night is fulfilled without some insane actionpacked Asian action. Who but John Woo can fulfill the need?! The Killer (with English subs) here, at 13,9Mb.

And you just got to have some old 70's exploitation. She-Devils on Wheels here, only 4,95Mb.

This is just insane. Vampires that suck their vitims dry for blood, and then the victims become zombies (what?!). And it has Peter Cushing as Van Helsing (who else?!) and some crazy assed Kung Fu. Enjoy this litte weirdo here, 7,83Mb.

A classic spaghetti western from Sergio Corbucci, starring Franco Nero as the lone gunslinger Django. A fun fact is that this film made Nero so popular in Germany, that pretty much all his films over the next few decades was renamed to something that had Django in the title! Django can be seen here, 10Mb.


Make them die Slowly, or Cannibal Ferox as it is better known. If you haven't seen this film and plan to see it: don't watch this trailer! It reveals all of the gory parts. All of it! But if you want a sort of best-of-Cannibal-Ferox short version, this is the one to go for! I also find it very interesting that it is a woman that does the voice-over. That is something I've seldom heard and seen in a trailer, I think it might be the first time. And watch out for the opening warning, awsome! Here, at 14,7Mb.


Last, but not least: Kiss me Quick! A sexploitation from the 60's featuring lots of naked female breasts, Frankenstein, and our old pal Dracula! You have to see this one. Because of the nudity I'm not hosting this on my regular server, but I've uploaded it here, 9,45Mb. It should have been some vintage porn, but I don't have anything on my HD at the moment, but this is pretty sweet!

Update 9th desember: Kiss Me Quick! can also be found here, on RapidShare.

Enjoy these small gems from the world of trailers. I hope to see you the next six months!
