Grindhouse Trailer Spectacular! at the Hollywood Theatre
Festival Director — Thu, 05/29/2008 - 15:23
This Saturday May 31st only at 7:45 at the Hollywood Theatre, the Grindhouse Film Festival presents The Grindhouse Trailer Spectacular! Dan Halsted is not giving away what’s showing, but you may want to wear a neck brace and a diaper to avoid whiplash and the public embarrassment of soiling yourself. Don’t miss this!
In the 1970’s, distributors trying to creatively sell strange low budget movies in oversaturated markets unwittingly created some of the most mind blowing pieces of cinema to ever rip through a film projector. Those who have been coming to the Grindhouse screenings know the excited frenzy these trailers can create in an audience. All the wildest scenes, strange taglines, and sleazy promotional gimmicks crammed into two minute cinematic rollercoaster rides. For one night only, we’ll have the best of these 35mm trailers packed in back to back!
For more information and advance tickets: http://www.grindhousefilmfest.com
The Grindhouse Film Festival is an independent production, not associated with the Hollywood Theatre.
