Eli Roth is channeling his Grindhouse past with The Piano Killer, a new trailer for his horror studio The Horror Section that will be playing in theaters nationwide starting August 15, attached to the first theatrical release from Roth\u2019s new company, Jimmy and Stiggs.<\/p>\n

The team previews, \u201cThe Piano Killer trailer offers a first taste of the twisted, genre-smashing direction Eli Roth is taking with The Horror Section. Created alongside longtime collaborator Jeff Rendell (Thanksgiving), the trailer follows in the footsteps of their original Thanksgiving teaser, which famously morphed into a cult-favorite feature.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat starts as an ordinary opening moment, turns into total mayhem\u2026when the mystery killer turns out to be a piano. It\u2019s absurd. It\u2019s terrifying. And it\u2019s exactly the kind of audacious, offbeat horror that defines The Horror Section.\u201d<\/p>\n

For now, it\u2019s just a fake trailer for a Dario Argento-style Giallo movie about a killer piano. But like Thanksgiving, which started as a fake Grindhouse trailer, it could become a feature\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI love a good fake trailer. You get to make the best parts of the movie without having to figure out the boring things like plot, character, or emotional arc. It\u2019s pure cinematic junk food,\u201d said Eli Roth. \u201cI wanted to add it as a little amuse bouche before Jimmy and Stiggs. And who knows, maybe there will be a feature film in this pianoverse or I\u2019ll just keep making Piano Killer sequel trailers for the rest of my life. That would definitely end my career on a high note.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eli Roth stars in The Piano Killer faux trailer alongside\u00a0Hailey Kittle, Jeff Teravainen, Russell Yuen, Tomaso Sanelli, Jonathan Craig, Justin Harding, Leah Sharp, and Joe Delfin.<\/p>\n

Grab your tickets to see Jimmy and Stiggs in theaters on August 15.<\/a><\/p>\n

The first theatrical release from\u00a0Eli Roth\u2019s\u00a0new label\u00a0The Horror Section\u00a0is\u00a0Jimmy and Stiggs, the latest blast of insanity from director\u00a0Joe Begos\u00a0(Bliss, Christmas Bloody Christmas).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
