The Trailer Mash is a smash

By Eric Robinette | Wednesday, August 30, 2006, 10:23 AM

Have you ever imagined The Shining could be a cute family comedy? Or that The Ten Commandments could be reimagined as kind of a frat comedy?

The people who make what are known as trailer mash-ups use the wonders of digital technology to re-edit and score trailers to make movies seem completely different from their original intent. This site gathers them together.

My new favorite? The one that refashions West Side Story into a 28 Days Later-like horror thriller. One can only imagine how Officer Krupke fits into all this.

The Fall preview continues: November movies will be up later this afternoon.
