[Video] ‘Halloween’ Gets a Grainy, Retro Trailer Edit That Imagines the 2018 Film as a ’70s Sequel

Published

on

Ahead of next weekend’s release of David Gordon Green’s Halloween, the folks over at Nerdist have reimagined the trailer in a retro ’70s style, essentially de-modernizing the 2018 sequel.

The site explains, “Halloween just got groovier in this 1970s style throwback Nerdist Remix of the trailer. Ripping the pulpy style and creepy sounds of classic 70s horror films like the original Halloween, this trailer adds an appropriately spooky amount of nostalgia to your October– plus bone-chilling narration. This year, your worst nightmare is named Michael Myers.”

Watch the awesome retro re-cut below!

Michael returns to Haddonfield on October 19.

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has two awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

Hold the Fort Trailer

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.

Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.

In the film,Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.

Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.

Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (The Walking Dead), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.

William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).

Ahead of the release, Bagley said,My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.

Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.

I wrote in my review,It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.
