ANNOUNCEMENT: Trailer Obscura


If you've been following the site as of late then you might have noticed the barrage of random movie trailers that have been flooding most of my updates here on The Lucid Nightmare. If you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, then let me explain.

I've been recently hard at work compiling a collection of fake and real movie trailers made by myself and a core group of friends. The trailers are inspired by some of our in-production projects and from random ideas and concepts that pop into our demented little heads. The idea to make a compilation of trailers sprang to life after Grindhouse came out a few years ago and I've been mulling over bringing this idea to life ever since. Well I'm happy to say that we've got a few gems under our belt in the form of Musky!, Tis The Season To Be DEAD, The Book of Jacob Huxley, The Wanderer, Soulless, Corjo and Kill Kringle Kill. I've also been hard at work scripting a slew of trailers to come. 

I'm particularly looking forward to working on the killer Sasquatch film 'It Came From The Woods', the creepy prank calling 80's slasher film 'The Whisperer', a morbidly atmospheric zombie film called 'The Night of the Walking Corpses, the trippy giallo flick 'In the Eye of the Violet Prism', and the old school 50's creature feature 'Mad Ants'. We've got a lot of work in the pipeline and you'll be hearing and seeing more about these trailers as the months go by, but the main reason for my announcement is that I finally came up with a name for the compilation. Trailer Obscura.

I thought it would be appropriate to go with a title that is as ambiguous, obscure, and as random as the trailers that will take up its runtime. It's going to be a strange collection of trailers so I wanted to capture that essence some way in the title and hopefully Trailer Obscura does it justice. Well that's it for now and stay tuned for my next update on this tremendous undertaking of trailer movie goodness.

The Wanderer Trailer

Well as promised, I've got the fresh out of the oven trailer for my obscure little film, The Wanderer. The trailer is a nice quick addition to the trailer compilation that I've been working on and it's more of an abstract piece for me. It's a real quick take on the repetitive trailer concept that was so prevalent in the Grindhouse circuit and other cult films of that era. I had a good time playing around with it and I think I was able to come up with something original and fairly entertaining. Well, that's it for now and enjoy the trailer.

What The Hell Have I Been Doing: The Wanderer

Another update is upon us and this time I've got another trailer in the works. This one is for an obscure film called The Wanderer. I'm creating the trailer from just a handful of stills that I took over almost 10 years ago for a college project.  When it's done it will be rather short, but it should add a nice mixture to the trailer compilation when it's all put together. Well here are the choice stills that I have so enjoy and stay tuned for the trailer next week.

Nothing wrong with a simple title design.

What kind of creep hangs around a cemetery in the middle of winter?

Nothing to see here. Just packing up my ax.

Looks like something out of an REM music video. Everybody hurts.

I'm taking the long walk of shame.
