Trailer Park-O-Rama

Today I noticed that the company I used to work for has finally put up trailers for some of the movies we developed there:

Scarecrow

(There's another version of the trailer I like better, but I was overrruled. It was a strictly rock n' roll trailer without too much voice-over. It can be found on the DVD)

Scarecrow Gone Wild

(I worked on the marketing campaign for this one and developed the concept. That means I suggested more nudity and gore and an actual story. There are some good moments in the movie though and Brian Katkin is a good director. He also did Slaughter Studios for Roger Corman)

Corpses

(This was part of the first group of projects I and the marketing team put together. It changed a lot from our initial concept, but that was after I had already left. Rolfe Kanefsky directed and Tiffany Shepis starred in it. I understand it all ended badly)

Dr. Chopper

(At one point I was supposed to write this one, but that never materialized. I can take credit for the title and some of the story elements though. I have not watched the movie except for the trailer)

El Chupacabra (developed and directed by Paul Wynne)

(Our attempt to give the Latino audience their own monster. It didn't work. I later worked with Elena Madison in a short film I wrote for Scavengerfest, and she was one of the hostesses for the 2005 DVDX Awards)

Alien 51 (Featuring Heidi Fleiss!)

(True story: DVDX was going to give Heidi a free ticket to the show and a town car if she wanted to come for the 2004 awards. She wanted to be paid. I told her publicist through a second party that she would get to walk the red carpet and be interviewed by CNN, Etertainment Tonight, etc... and promote anything she was doing. No go. I told the publicist that this would be one of the only times she would get publicity that wasn't related to her going to court, to jail, or getting her then boyfriend Tom Sizemore out of jail. Gary Sinise wasn't being paid, and she wanted to be paid. Bitch.)

13 Dead Men (Developed by Scott Pfeiffer. Directed by Art Camacho)

(After we did this movie, Mystikal was arrested for assaulting his hairdresser. I think the charge was sexual battery and coercion)
------------------------------

All of the trailers are Windows media files and can be found under their artwork. I'll post some more later on. I'm disappointed by the fact that the trailer for Scarecrow Slayer isn't up. It features some great bits with Tony Todd - actor, gentleman and horror icon.

Oh, and lets all not forget that these movies were made for $100-125,000 each, and that the trailers are far better than the movies themselves.

But - they were fun and I learned alot.

Enjoy!
