Music is powerful, probably more powerful than anything on Earth and that’s a bold statement because there’s tons of powerful shit on earth. When it comes to film making, the music and score set the tone for the scene, sometimes the entire film. Reservoir Dogs ruined “Stuck In The Middle With You” for me. Doesn’t matter where I am, that song immediately takes me back to that ear chopping scene which is a goddamn nightmare. The Forrest Gump score turns me into a weeping mess and Streets Of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen makes me think about AIDS. Now what’s interesting is that changing the music or score of a film or in this case, trailer, can completely change the context in a really big way. Came across some pure gold. This is that real dark part of the internet that Buzzfeed doesn’t want to fuck with. It’s all good…I get my hands dirty so you don’t have to.
#1 Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory…As A Horror Film
It’s bad enough that Wonka was likely a child murderer and the movie was terrifying to begin with, but this rescored trailer takes it to a whole new level. When he grabs Veruca Salt by the mouth and says “We are the music makers” I almost had a fucking stroke.
#2 The Shining…As A Feel Good Film
The Shining is probably one of the most disturbing films ever made. You have those twins in the hallway, the weird blowjob scene with the bear costume, the dead lady in the tub…PURE NIGHTMARE SAUCE! Here we have the opposite effect, it’s now a happy family film.
#3 Mrs.Doubtfire…As A Cape Fear Psycho Thriller
Now, Mrs. Doubtfire is unadulterated family fun. It’s probably one of the most joyful uplifting films you can see as a child and let’s not forget that every Dad who ever got fucked over by a divorce court immediately identified with Robin Williams struggle. Quite frankly I’m shocked there weren’t Mrs.Doubtfire copycat cases, dads just snapping left and right and deciding to see their kids disguised as old Scottish ladies. Change that music and you know what happens…
#4 Stephen Kings IT…As A Happy Film About Childhood Friendships
If you grew up in the early 90’s, no question IT ruined clowns for you. I know a girl who almost went to a fucking mental institution because of this movie. Pennywise The Clown single handily increased nightlight sale by 10 million percent. The power of music….
#5 Jaws…As A Disney/Free Willy Style Film
We all know the film, we all know the drill, hit the music….
As an added bonus, just think this is bananas. It’s technically not a movie trailer but man will it change the way you think about Different Strokes. Talk about music and context!
