Since we last visited Trailers From Hell way back in July, the site has beefed up its offerings, and now boasts commentaries on classic adverts for films by Stanley Kubrick and Howard Hawks, as well as lovable schlock like The Revenge of Frankenstein and The Fiendish Ghouls. And thanks to a BoingBoing blurb, today I revisited the site and began to delve into the small catalogue of trailers boasting commentary by director John Landis.

Landis, whose unusual filmography spans comedy classics (Animal House), epic music videos (Michael Jackson’s Thriller) and, with the NYFF selection Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project, documentary, never fails to fill his TFH commentaries with probably long-forgotten backstage anecdotes. They’re usually too mundane to be really juicy; over the above, absurdly long trailer for Psycho, Landis seems way more interested in gossiping about Alfred Hitchcock’s daily lunch menu (which apparently included an entire bottle of wine and a steak) than in taking about the film itself. “What can I say?” Landis laughs. “It’s the best Psycho movie ever!” We’ll give him that.
