Walk in the footsteps of giants; help Roger with his new movie!

Roger sent over the preliminary art for his upcoming Attack Of The 50 Foot Cheerleader and is asking Trailers from Hell fans to come up with a suggested ad copy line, preferably one with sexual innuendo – funny, if possible. The film will be aired on Epix later this month. (See the poster below.)

I started out doing this kind of thing for Roger and it was always a lot of fun. Here are some classics from the New World Pictures era:

“A Howling Hellcat Humping a Hot Steel Hog on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge!”– Bury Me an Angel

“They Wanted Love. He Gave Them Terror and Death!” — Woman Hunt

“Wet Dreams and Open Jeans” — Street Girls

“They Don’t Need Clothes to Strike a Pose” — Cover Girl Models

“Only the Monster She Made Could Satisfy Her Strange Desires!

Director: Steve Carver; Cirio H. Santiago

Starring: Pam Greir, Margaret Markov, Pat Anderson, Lenore Kasdorf, Lyllah Torena, Ken Metcalfe, Vic Diaz, Lindsay Bloom and Tara Strohmeier; with appearances by Dick Miller and Mary Woronov
