42nd Street Forever: Blu-Ray Edition

A full-length mixtape celebrating the wildest shot-on-video and direct-to-video trailers from AGFA’s video dungeon, released both theatrically and on home video.

WELCOME TO THE ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA, the most awesome post-modern hot spot for exploitation movie revival, deep in the heart of Texas! Home to world-famous events such as The Quentin Tarantino Film Fest, Fantastic Fest and Butt-Numb-A-Thon, the Alamo is one of the last places on earth where you can still see grindhouse classics such as THE DEVIL WITHIN HER and MAD MONKEY KUNG FU. Now, the Alamo has opened their vaults for a peek at some of the most outrageous cinematic gems from several golden ages of sleaze cinema. Digitally re-mastered in high-definition from the actual reels that show every week at the Alamo, this exciting edition of the 42ND STREET FOREVER series is the most bizarre, the most terrifying and the most hilarious one yet!

Unleashed from the dungeon of AGFA (the American Genre Film Archive), these are the most spine-ripping, slime-slinging, soul-shredding horror trailers in our arsenal. Meticulously constructed by AGFA's mad scientists to resemble an otherworldly night at the movies under the stars, this mix features a plethora of material unseen since the films' original releases.

In 1984, a massive fire destroyed the entire 17-year output of an exploitation movie studio. But the recent discovery of eleven lost trailers sheds a light on this disrespected, long-forgotten B-movie factory, and the mogul at its center.

Deranged projectionist Mad Ron shows a movie theater full of rowdy zombies a diverse assortment of horror and exploitation film trailers from his private collection while ventriloquist Nick Pawlow and his foul-mouthed zombie dummy Happy Goldsplatt provide lowbrow comic relief.

“For decades they have lain dormant, waiting for the opportunity to rise again. Now, they have returned…AND THEY WILL CONSUME YOU!” TRAILER TRAUMA is an unprecedented orgy of sex, violence, and insanity: over 2 hours of rare, ridiculous, horrific, and mind boggling movie previews, many of which are previously unreleased on DVD or VHS. Never before have cinema-goers seen such an onslaught of pulse-pounding excitement! Thrill to the action of BLACK FIST, IRON MASTER, and KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! Quiver in horror as you face the DAWN OF THE MUMMY, the REVENGE OF THE LIVING ZOMBIES, and the INCREDIBLE TORTURE SHOW! Scratch your head at the utter absurdity of DEATH BED, MUTANT WAR, and NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER! There are other movie preview compilation discs out there, but only TRAILER TRAUMA contains the ultra-rare titles that you absolutely will not find anywhere else. Prepare yourselves, connoisseurs of cult cinema: TRAILER TRAUMA is going to hurt...but it hurts so good!

The greatest collection of current underground movie trailers around!
