Take a gander at what I just finally found on my hard drive, kiddies and Flickers. The first concept trailer for the notorious Freaky Flickers movie, the second recorded instance of a low-budget, off-kilter, 90-minute advertisement intended for a larger distributor ending up instead in the hands of one other man, never to have more than two minutes of original footage screened to the public again. But unlike Foodfight, Freaky Flickers never saw a future at all, and inevitably so. Animated, written and directed by Cary Howe on a budget of just $250,000, MGM would purchase the rights to the film in February 2009 with the intention of rolling it in 2,800 cinemas across the US, to which Howe reluctantly accepted. However, in June that same year, Howe entrusted editor David Kann with the film in its unfinished state, took a nap and woke up to discover that the film had been stolen, no less by none other than the brand's creator, Peter Gantner. Ever since, the film has been the subject of memes and mockery from connoisseurs of low-grade animation and also the interest of lost media hunters. Up until now, the original trailer survived online with no creative oversight only as a low-quality copy, and 45 seconds of surviving footage were discovered in 2015.
