One of my all-time favorite websites (
Trailers From Hell) just covered the trailer for
The Green Slime.
Go check it out
here.
For anyone unfamiliar with
Trailers From Hell, they take trailers from movies, many of which are Drive-In Theatre fare, and provide commentary tracks from notable people in the genre film industry. Joe Dante is a frequent contributor, and the person who had the idea in the first place. John Landis, Edgar Wright, Rick Baker and Eli Roth are also among the "Grindhouse Gurus".
The commentaries range from the interesting to the informative to the insipid, but fortunately you can watch each trailer with or without the commentaries.
Many of our favorite trailers from both the Sci-Fi and Horror 'thons have been featured on the site, so it's a fun way to nostalgically kill several hours.
Some of my own personal favorite marathon-memory tie-ins include:
The Hideous Sun Demon
The Tingler
Them
Trantula
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
Robot Monster - Fear
Ro-Man!
Death Race 2000
Phantom of the Paradise
Suspiria
Queen of Outer Space
Forbidden Planet
The Thing (From Another World)
Galaxy of Terror
The Apple
and of special hilarity from last year's Horror Marathon:
The Thing With Two Heads
and
Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde
