Eli Roth, Snoop Dogg Horror Trailer Attached to Jimmy and Stiggs Release

The grindhouse spirit is alive and kicking, courtesy of horror maestro Eli Roth. In a move echoing his cult-favorite Thanksgiving faux-trailer origins, Roth has unleashed another over-the-top, blood-soaked preview: Don’t Go in That House, Bitch!. Premiering alongside the highly anticipated alien splatterfest Jimmy and Stiggs in theaters this August, this new trailer isn’t just a throwback – it’s a full-throttle sensory assault amplified by none other than Snoop Dogg. Forget subtle scares; Roth is doubling down on outrageous gore, dark humor, and Snoop’s iconic, laid-back menace providing the voiceover and theme song.

What Makes Eli Roth’s New Faux Trailer a Must-See?

Roth, who first teased the concept of a full feature composed of faux trailers called Trailer Trash back in 2007, is reviving that energy through his new venture, The Horror Section. Don’t Go in That House, Bitch! is the second trailer revealed in quick succession, following The Piano Killer. This one dials the exploitation vibe to eleven, promising a chaotic blend of haunted house tropes, gruesome kills, and Snoop Dogg’s unmistakable narration. Roth shared the serendipitous collaboration: “I love Snoop so much… he called me the day after I shot it… right away he got it and sent me the voice over and then the theme song.” The result is so catchy, Roth even included a singalong prompt for audiences.

How Does ‘Don’t Go in That House, Bitch!’ Fit into Roth’s Horror Vision?

The trailer release is a strategic play by The Horror Section, which acquired distribution rights to writer/director Joe Begos’ (Bliss, V.F.W.) wildly ambitious Jimmy and Stiggs. Attaching these explosive faux trailers directly taps into the midnight movie, genre-loving audience Roth cultivated with Grindhouse. It signals The Horror Section’s intent to deliver unapologetically bold, visceral content across films, trailers, and beyond. The synergy is deliberate: both Jimmy and Stiggs – described by Begos as a hallucinatory, cocaine-fueled battle against animatronic aliens – and Roth’s new trailer prioritize practical effects, high energy, and a complete disregard for restraint.

The ‘Jimmy and Stiggs’ Connection: A Neon-Drenched Alien Nightmare

Jimmy and Stiggs serves as the perfect, chaotic companion piece for Roth’s trailer. Begos stars as a coked-out filmmaker who believes he’s been abducted. After convincing his friend (Matt Mercer) of the threat, they face a full-blown, neon-blood-splattered alien siege within a locked-down apartment. Begos detailed the insanity to The Boo Crew podcast: “It becomes this hallucinatory battle where he’s constantly doing a bunch of cocaine and painkillers… blowing away these aliens… the place gets covered in neon blood and the camera’s just spinning.” The film’s intense practical effects and relentless pace promise a unique cinematic experience, amplified by the double feature of Roth’s Snoop-enhanced trailer.

Don’t Go in That House, Bitch! isn’t just a trailer; it’s a statement of intent from Eli Roth and The Horror Section, celebrating the outrageous, the gory, and the pure fun of unhinged genre filmmaking. Paired with Joe Begos’ alien invasion freakout Jimmy and Stiggs, hitting theaters August 15th, this double bill offers a potent dose of cinematic adrenaline. Check your local listings for showtimes and prepare for a wild ride fueled by practical effects, Snoop Dogg’s beats, and sheer, unadulterated horror mayhem.
