Fake Trailer Vault
Step into the celluloid sludge pit where parody, exploitation, and pure chaos reign supreme. This is Little Spark Films' Fake Trailer Vault — a savage collection of NSFW horror comedy, satanic metal nightmares, and drag queen grindhouse mayhem. Each project is a warped love letter to retro horror, splatterpunk madness, and post-apocalyptic sleaze, forged in the fires of fake trailer proof-of-concepts and 48-hour stoner film races.
From zombie exploitation in Dildo of the Dead, to poolhall action parody in Murderballs, and satanic metal horror in Demon Metal Murder V — every trailer here bleeds indie rebellion and DIY savagery. Some are standalone showcases. Others evolved into full-on projects like Death World — a fake trailer turned splatterpunk short film. And then there’s Don't Take the Drag — our original drag queen horror from the wildest fake trailer race entry ever conceived.
So, crank up the distortion, light one up, and scroll down into the depraved rabbit hole of grindhouse horror trailers, indie sci-fi action, and stoner grindhouse shorts only LSF could deliver.
Little Spark Films cut its teeth on fake trailers that push the limits of good taste, logic, and sanity. Inspired by grindhouse trash, metal gore, and punk chaos, these trailers were born out of creative freedom and late-night madness. Some remain in the vault. Others... evolved.

A grindhouse fever dream. Zombies. Sex toys. Excessive amounts of blood and... well, dildos. This chaotic short teases a film that probably shouldn't exist — but we made sure the trailer does.

Pool Halls. Virus Blood. Exploding balls. Murderballs was made to mock over-the-top action horror franchises — and somehow it hits harder than some of the real ones. This trailer is carnage in motion.

For the Demonic Chronic 48hr Film Race 2015
Originally created as part of the Demonic Chronic 48-Hour Film Race, Don’t Take the Drag was our first real taste of fake trailer madness. What we turned in might’ve been a trailer... but it lives on as a legend.
Want to see one of these become a real movie?
We’re always looking for unhinged producers, blood-soaked backers, and deranged fans to join the mayhem.
