Â
Please Note - Kino slips are rarely pristine!
Â
Critically-acclaimed upon itâs 2003 theatrical release, Hellâs Highway: The True Story of Highway Safety Films is a morbidly curious exploration of the shocking driver education films of yesteryear. Produced between 1959 and 1979 in Mansfield, Ohio, films such as Signal 30 encouraged safety by force-feeding high school kids color footage of careless drivingâs dark consequences: blood-stained wreckage, injured bodies, fresh corpses. In the 1970s and â80s, these traumatic films disappeared from the American classroom and assumed an almost mythical status. Hellâs Highway unearths these artifacts of grim Americana and interviews the filmmakers responsible for this radical educational movement. This remastered edition includes three complete âblood-on-the-highwayâ films, newly restored from the original 16mm camera elements preserved in the Richard Prelinger Collection at the Library of Congress..
- Audio Commentary by Writer/Director Bret Wood
- New Restorations of Three Driver's Ed Films: Mechanized Death, Wheels of Tragedy, and Highways of Agony
- The Complete 2003 Pre-Restoration Version
