Disc of the Year (and it's only January!)
Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2017 12:27 am
Got my copy today of TRAILER TRAUMA 3 - 80S HORRORTHON -- and this is easily one of my favorite Blu-Rays ever released in this format!
Over 7.5 hours and 250 trailers -- and unlike the prior releases in this series, major studio releases basically comprise the set list. I'm guessing perhaps Garagehouse doesn't want to advertise that fact (I have no idea about licensing trailers, but one wonders), but everything is here. EVERYTHING. THE SHINING, THE THING, the HALLOWEEN sequels, FRIDAY THE 13TH, POLTERGEIST, ALIENS, a scope ad for TWILIGHT ZONE THE MOVIE -- you might as well just ask "is it on there?" because it'd be easier than writing out the actual play list, it's so comprehensive. Even the trailer for the infamous, banned 1981 GREAT WHITE with James Franciscus and Vic Morrow is here, too! So is the ad for SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, which I don't think I've ever seen before.
Chronologically presented yearly from 1980-89, I can't think of a more entertaining release for horror/sci-fi fans. And everything is 4K mastered from private collections, meaning (scratches and all) these are true HD...most of the trailers we get on Blu-Ray have been ported over from DVDs and are many times standard-definition.
Phenomenal fun, back from a time when selling the trailer was an artform also. The disc also includes commentary, for every one of them!
1500 copies only will be produced...I heartily endorse this for ANYONE with even a slight interest in this kind of thing. It's simply outstanding.
Garagehouse will put copies up on Amazon at some point but the easiest way to order is via DiabolikDVD.com
