Trailer Fabulous: Amusement, Midnight Meat Train, Prom Light

No, do not adjust your monitor, that does say "Prom Light", which is what I've decided to call the upcoming PG-13 remake of the classic film, which is being anticipated as breathlessly as a mid-dance toilet baby delivery. Let's get this thing out, wrap it in a tulle shrug, and toss it in the dumpster so we can get back to the punch and pie, shall we?

Anyway, I have to say that in spite of all this the first half of the film's trailer is AMAZING in its glorious banality. It's just knowing that we're not actually going to see any of these Laguna Peaches get splattered across the walls that makes the second half (wait, does the whole movie take place in a single hotel room?!) really disappointing.

Also included below are the intriguing preview for Valentine 2008 Amusement and the tease for the Clive Barker adaptation Midnight Meat Train, which looks way more awesome than I expected (Bradley Cooper and Leslie Bibb, what what!).

Download the Prom Night soundtrack for free

For those of you who adore the 1980 slashterpiece Prom Night as much as I do (here's my review if you need convincing) and have always wanted to get a hold of the manically brilliant disco songs from the soundtrack, this is your lucky day. Friend of CampBloog Lance (from the delightfully unhinged Kindertrauma site) pointed me to a website offering the songs for free download.

I was lucky enough to have been given a bootleg (from a Japanese release, I think) of the soundtrack a few years back by my dear pal Tintorera Joe, and let me tell you there's nothing like recreating Jamie Lee's classic disco-dancing moments to non-hits like "Dancing in the Moonlight" and "Time to Turn Around". Here's the scene where JLC and her infinitely forgettable date dance to the film's disco theme ("Prom Night: Part 2"):

The POV spinning shots are hard not to love, but my favorite part is when Jamie just starts doing high-kicks and half-turns for no apparent reason, like a spooked show horse. And how can you not love a movie whose final song, "Fade to Black", tells the film's story as a sappy, Minnie Riperton-esque ballad? Hot shit here.
