# Surreal Scary Movie Tributes This Clip Combines Halloween Classics to Create an Even Stranger Film By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-10-14 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-classic References: [boingboing.net](http://boingboing.net/2015/10/14/watch-this-very-surreal-mashup.html) & [gump](http://gump.tv/tablet/index.html) This short film by French studio Gump TV takes two Halloween classics and creates an entirely surreal mash-up video. Titled 'The Red Drum Getaway,' the mini movie uses scenes and elements from both Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick films. Kubrick produced and directed The Shining, which was has become a Halloween classic since its release in 1980. Its psychologically chilling imagery and gotcha moments make it a perfect movie to watch on the spookiest night of the year. Decades earlier, Alfred Hitchcock created a slew of creepy Halloween classics. His 1960 thriller Psycho is thought of as the first-ever slasher movie, while his films The Birds and Vertigo prey on common fears and nightmares. This Halloween classic mash-up re-imagines Kubrick as the villain in Hitchcock's films. Its creepy surrealism will put horror lovers in the mood for Halloween. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Halloween Classic Mash-ups:** Creating surreal and scary videos using scenes and elements from different Halloween classic films. - **Cross-genre Film Crossovers:** Blending elements from different movie genres to create unique and unexpected combinations. - **Re-imagining Iconic Characters:** Taking characters from different films and putting them in new, unexpected roles to create a new narrative and plotline. ### Who This Affects Most - **Film and Video Production:** Opportunities for filmmakers to experiment with blending different movie genres and iconic characters to create new and unique content. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Using cross-genre film crossovers to create attention-grabbing ad campaigns or promotional videos for products and services. - **Virtual Reality and Gaming:** Creating immersive horror games or experiences that blend elements from different Halloween classic films to provide new and unique gaming experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Horror-Themed QSR Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jack-in-the-box-feeding-time.md) - [Revived 90s Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruithead.md) - [Spooky Slasher Movie Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-studios-halloween-horror-nights.md) - [80s-Based Horror Trilogies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxxxine.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horrific-crocs.md) - [AR-Enabled Horror Movie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-kills.md) - [Frightening Cinema Festivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-halloween-event.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Horror Movie-Inspired Popcorn Buckets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-coffin.md)
