MOVIES USED: The Shining
The trailer that started it all. Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror film starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall becomes a feel-good movie about a writer struggling to find his muse and a boy lonely for a father.
It won the AICE (Association of Independent Creative Editors) Trailer Park competition in New York 2005, and became an Internet phenomenon almost overnight.

[…] the trailer mash is a repository of sorts for movie trailer mashups (like the archetypal shining as comedy trailer). These guys seem to be using YouTube exclusively for their video streams. Link […]

[…] Shining - aus dem Horrorstreifen wird eine gefühlvolle Komödie über einen Schriftsteller auf der Suche nach seiner Muse und einen Jungen auf der Suche nach einem Vater. Besonders die Unterlegung von “Solsbury Hill“, dem ultimativen “Feel Good”-Song, trägt dazu bei. […]

[…] There is now a blog dedicated to film trailer mashups called The Trailer Mash and it features some excellent examples of the genre. The Shining recut as a romantic comedy is still probably the funniest but there is some great new stuff on there, especially Lost reimagined as The A Team (!) and Garden State redone as a thriller.

[…] Out of all of them… so far I think my favorite is The Shining as a romantic comedy. Great work. Oh and Chicago as a horror flick is not too bad either. The Trailer Mash is a website totally devoted to collecting recut trailers and trailer mash-ups. Browse by the genre they were recut into, or just check out the Top Rated Trailers for the best of the best! […]

Any film starring Jack Nicholson will always deserve a look at and his new movie, The Departed, is no exception. Even at 69 years old, Nicholson is the most interesting character in this film. I definately recommend this flick.

I’ve noticed that there are some songs with incredible power. “Brokeback Mountain Theme” causes anything to be gay, “How to Save a Life” turns anything into a drama and “Salsibury Hill” turns anything into a family movie/comedy. Amazing

BEST TRAILER EVER! I want to see this movie now, um the comedy one not the real one. Excellent job!

This trailer mash includes an audio clip from the movie “About Schmidt”.
(clip of Jack Nicholson saying, “I’m your new foster father.”)
That should probably be cited, right?

When Salsbury Hill hits I literally shiver, it’s so powerful. Thank you for this.

I didn’t find this funny at all. They just did a great job of cutting clips to make a whole new movie. There’s no absurd and hilarious juxtaposition of the actual plot of the original film and the new editing of the clips/audio, like you see in Brokeback to the Future. It just looks like a completely different film, and it comes off as a nice trailer about a whole different story. The editing is done professionally, but this isn’t comedic at all.

Gotta disagree with Gabe. Turning some of the many twisted scenes from one of the most disturbing movies ever into a playful jaunt is abso-frickin-hilarious.

Nice work….you should find other movie trailers at filmcrave.com

@ Gabe - the trailer itself isn’t funny. Taking one of the most terrifying movies ever made and turning it into a romantic comedy is what’s funny.
Awesome job!
