Trailers from Hell episodes

September 29, 2009 God Told Me To A.K.A. Demon
Shot guerilla-style all over New York City by celebrated maverick and TFH contributor Larry Cohen, this is one crazy movie! A homicide spree hits town and the perps have only one thing in common: they all say "God told me to!" Apocalyptic to say the least!

September 22, 2009 The Fall of the Roman Empire
They don't make 'em like this anymore: those huge sets and cast of thousands aren't computer-generated but absolutely real, and those 1964-era actors are a darn sight more interesting than a lot of those we have on hand today.

August 18, 2009 From Hell It Came
An indication of the attention to detail that distinguishes this 1957 triumph of concept over execution is that the walking tree monster Tobonga (who terrorizes the tropical island of Griffith Park) is identified as Baranga in this trailer!

August 11, 2009 Carnival of Souls
Kansas industrial filmmaker Herk Harvey's barely-distributed 1962 ghost story languished in obscurity for years, but has now taken its place as one of the most influential indie productions of the sixties.

August 04, 2009 Colossus: The Forbin Project
Made in 1968 and shelved for nearly two years, this is one of the most intelligent science fiction pictures of its decade, but it failed to find an audience. An updated remake has recently been announced. Could we really be worse off with a computer running everything?

July 28, 2009 All That Heaven Allows
Another lacerating depiction of the values of post-war middle-class Americans from Douglas Sirk, who Universal seemed to regard merely as their house soap-opera specialist. Once again a long-suffering spouse is put through the ringer; here it's widow Jane Wyman taking flak from the country club set as well as her selfish kids for her affair with much younger free spirit Rock Hudson.

July 21, 2009 Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
After "Young Frankenstein", this is probably the best-loved horror comedy of all time and is more elaborately produced than the previous two serious Frankenstein films. Bela Lugosi's final turn as Dracula, and his last major studio picture. Great music score by Frank Skinner turned up in numerous subsequent A&C monster rallies.

July 14, 2009 20 Million Miles to Earth
The dino-like Ymir is one of Ray Harryhausen's most personable stop-motion creations and the last to benefit from his brilliant black-and-white lighting. Currently available in a lamentably colorized video version which shows Ray's work to its least advantage.

July 08, 2009 13 Ghosts
Aiming squarely at the allowances of moppet readers of Famous Monsters of Filmland, William Castle followed "Percepto" with a new gimmick in 1960, "Illusion-O". Paul Frees' scary narration probably got him the job as the voice of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.

June 20, 2009 Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
When it was released on a 1958 double bill with "War of the Satellites", no one could have predicted that this mini-budget exploitation film would become one of the most famous titles in movie history.
