Exciting holiday news!!!! You demanded it, so here you go: I have partnered with NECA Toys to create "Thanksgiving" merchandise. The first step towards turning a fake trailer into a real movie is to convince the unsuspecting public that it actually exists, and what better way to do that than with a Thanksgiving t-shirt and poster of the Dan Frisch turkey?? They will be for sale at Hot Topic, and if you don't live near one you can order them on line where I put the links.

We're planning on doing more stuff, including action figures, depending on what the demand is. And who knows? It may even turn into a real movie one day... Until then there will be a 2nd helping of Thanksgiving in "Trailer Trash." Why make a whole movie when you can just go film the best parts?

And THANK YOU ALL for your amazing support with the Hostel 2 DVD and Blu Ray!!!!! The film's doing great, and I love hearing all your comments on my page. Yes, it is me reading them all, not some assistant, so THANK YOU!!!!

White Meat. Dark Meat. ALL WILL BE CARVED!

Eli, Thanks for making real horror flicks. I have been a fan since I "saw the Exorcist on accident" at a friends house in fifth grade. I watched everything I could find after that. I think if done CORRECTLY it is truely an overlooked art form. I really got into Romero and devoured everything of his I could find, Martin, Crazies, Bruiser and all the dead movies... Ok to the point. Now that horror has slowly started to comeback (I think it may have started with Blair Witch) I am so glad that there is a dude out there willing to make movies that he would want to see. I am really looking forward to seeing what you will do with CELL (if you still are doing it). As soon as I heard there was a chance I went and bought the book. Roth and King cmon man. Shit Romero and King Creepshow is fucking great. Anyway thanks for the flicks and keep up the Art.

P.S. my typing and punctuation skills are fuck all-but I am not an idiot. -J

Why make the whole movie? Because there aren't enough original ideas in the horror world today and Thanksgiving is not only original, but would make for a fucking awesome time at the movies. Even a lot of the people who didn't like Hostel and Cabin Fever think it's a great idea for a movie. I can settle for Trailer Trash, though. At least, for now.

That tee shirt is incredible. I just placed an order for that and one of the posters.

I'm really happy for you.

Man, you neeeeeeeeed to make a full feature film of Thanksgiving badly. Tell me the Weinsteins aren't gonna stop doing the Grindhouse Double Features? Thanksgiving and Machete would be splooge worthy.

I'll be sure to make a hop, a skip, and a tapdance over to my local Hot Topic and grab me some Thanksgiving gear.

Jesus, I am ordering 1 right now, 'cause I have GOT to be the first kid on my block wearing one of those! That trailer was pure genius. A real stand-up-and-cheer moment during "Grindhouse" for my horror-dork friends and I. I can't wait for seconds!

Eli...you are fucking amazing!
Love your movies, and I would be giddy if you turned THANKSGIVING into a full-length someday...and TRAILER TRASH...oh yeah, baby...can't wait for dat shit!

I really hope that someday I get the chance to meet you! Wait...did that sound stalker-ish?? Sorry...myself and my friend are aspiring film-makers, and...you, Tarantino, and Rodriguez influence the shit out me...no doubt.

You rock!

I was in Hot Topic the other day and saw one of the Thanksgiving shirts and I thought that I was imagining it at first. Its such a brilliant idea, I love it!

And Hostel 2 was fucking awesome. I saw it in theatres and I still went out to buy it the day that it came out on dvd. The bonus features were amazing and its definately not only one of my favorite horror movies, but one of my favorite movies in general. Keep doing what you do; its wonderful.

If the movie gets made, you should hire John Harrison to do an original score. The Creepshow music was so kick ass on the trailer. One of my all time fave soundtracks. p.s. The new Hostel 1 and 2 deluxe DVDs are awesome!
