In a world where art meets commerce, the movie trailer must convey the film’s quality and compel the viewer to shell out money for a ticket.

The Academy Museum is holding a 70-minute trailer extravaganza on Saturday, October 12th at 7:30pm local time at the Ted Mann Theater, on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. Tickets are available on their website.

The program’s official description reads, “From the depths of the world’s largest collection of movie trailers at the Academy Film Archive, this program unearths and reassembles the cult classic thrills and chills of pre-show entertainment—presented entirely on 35mm film. These retro horror trailers span decades of suspense, from artfully macabre camp monstrosities to deranged slashers calling from inside the house.”

The museum has featured these film trailer retrospectives before, but the October event focuses exclusively on horror films, specifically from the 1950s through the 1980s – everything from highbrow auteur horror to examples from the popular slasher sub-genre that started in the 1970s and became ubiquitous in the ’80s.

“It’s an opportunity for us to show off trailers in our collection that otherwise could not be seen,” Academy preservationist Cassie Blake said in an interview with IndieWire. “It’s almost like a little mixtape you present to everyone.”

The show was curated by Blake and fellow preservationist Tessa Idlewine, who are not revealing the featured films before the show. They do reveal what attendees can expect for the program, though.

“There will be some titles that people recognize, but hopefully even more that they’ve never heard of,” Idlewine said. Blake added, “We’re working with horror, so of course there’s some William Castle representation, some Hitchcock; we have Vincent Price in the mix, and [Stanley] Kubrick, but we also have some insane, ridiculous niche titles. With these programs, we tend not to reveal what the run of show is, so it’s a nice surprise for the audience.”

There will be 36 different films featured in the program, which provides attendees a chance to see some of these trailers for the first time.

“Some of these haven’t been screened since they came out,” Blake said. “There are trailers that reflect the original film title that was not the theatrical release title, or they include footage that didn’t make it into the film. Trailers really exist as their own entities. And this is a one-night only event in the truest sense.”
