About Trailers from Hell

Trailers from Hell is the brain­child of film direc­tor Joe Dante, new media entre­pre­neur Jonas Hudson, graphic artist Charlie Largent and pro­ducer Elizabeth Stanley. The series was born out of their mutual love of clas­sic films of all types, par­tic­u­larly hor­ror and exploita­tion films.
TFH is the pre­mier show­case for a breath­tak­ingly eclec­tic assort­ment of trail­ers from clas­sic era films both in their orig­i­nal form and punc­tu­ated with infor­ma­tive and amus­ing com­men­tary by con­tem­po­rary film­mak­ers. This con­tent has been viewed in over 50 coun­tries and is syn­di­cated across web and mobile part­ners includ­ing You Tube, Blinkx, Shorts TV, Yahoo, A3 Mobile Networks, AT&T and on cable tele­vi­sion, as well as on the net at www.trailersfromhell.com.
