Lost THX "Tex" Trailer: A Hit Entertainment DVD Boxset

To me, there is clearly no escape from all those THX box sets, as I have come across 3 of them as of now. If you think that those are highly terrifying, well, guess again.

Alright, I am here to tell you about the next box set I have encountered. This time, the source material was Hit Entertainment.

Hit Entertainment was a british-american company that had some pretty good shows like Thomas & Friends for example. But in 2016, the company was bought out by Mattel.

The fact that Mattel sucks nowadays ticks me off. I mean, they teamed up with Nelvana to make the terrible 2D animated Thomas show Thomas And Friends: All Engines Go.

To this day, I just enjoy the old classic versions of Hit Entertainment shows. However, I have come across a disturbing boxset with this company. It involved THX.

It all started on a perfect sunny afternoon.

I was with my grandmother at Menchie’s eating some frozen yogurt. The yogurt flavors I had were vanilla and peanut butter. My toppings were M&M’s, Reese’s Pieces, rainbow sprinkles, oreo’s and bananas.

After we left Menchie’s, we went to Fred Meyer to buy some groceries. While my grandmother did some shopping, I went to the media section since I had my own money. That’s when I saw another THX boxset on one of the counters.

The cover consisted of Thomas, Barney, Bob The Builder, The Wiggles, Kipper, Angelina Ballerina and Pingu on what looked like a blue and white background. The boxset was entitled “Hit Entertainment: The Ultimate THX Collection.”

“Ok, first of all, these shows aren’t even THX certified. So why do I even come across these?” I muttered.

I then shrugged it off and said that I should at least watch this for a good view. I was going to guess that Hit Entertainment made some DVDs to make them look like they were THX certified.

I told my grandmother about what I found and she was impressed. We bought our stuff and went home. When I got home, I was first informed by my parents that they and my 5 year old sister would be spending the weekend at a hotel, meaning that I would be in charge of the house while they were gone.

It also gave me the great opportunity to watch the DVD. I took out the DVDs that were in the boxset and noticed another rare DVD. The DVD was entitled “The Rare THX Trailer Made By Hit Entertainment.”

The cover was completely blank with only the THX and Hit Entertainment logo. It also had an exempt from classification rating and the DVD Video logo.

I put the DVD into my DVD player and it started. It began with the Lionsgate warning screen, and then it showed the Hit Entertainment logo and Lionsgate logo.

After that, it took me to the language menu. The languages featured were English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese and Portuguese. I selected English and then it began to show a montage of the shows featured.

Next, it went to the DVD menu which had the main characters inside different colored boxes including Tex. As you know, the options were still the same. The options were Play, Scene Selection, Set Up and Bonus Features.

I selected play and it started with yet again, another warning that said:

“This lost THX trailer was made to promote the theatrical release of “Silent House” despite not being THX certified. It also contains disturbing themes that may not be suitable for anyone with mental issues or children. Watch at your own risk!”

“Alright, guess I’ll do it then!” I muttered.

The trailer began with a shot of Tidmouth Sheds at night. The scene of the trailer was in the Season 6 animation. All the engines excluding Thomas were sleeping softly. Just then, the narrator who for some reason was Michael Angelis said, “Everyone! Wake up!”

The engines including Gordon soon noticed this and woke up in a flash. The doors of the sheds then began to open as the engines came out.

They see Thomas on the turntable. Percy asked, “What’s wrong Thomas?” Thomas then began to speak. “Sir Topham Hatt has just informed me that a red robot is somewhere around here in Sodor. He has been murdering innocent people who fear his logo. So we all have to make sure he doesn’t attack any of us!”

Edward said, “Sounds really scary! I mean, I know about Tex. We live in a multiverse!” Gordon then said, “Exactly, he is out there killing a few toys, 2 monsters and a little girl and others.”

At that time, Percy began to get nervous and said, “What if we’re next?” Thomas then got off the turntable and went over to Percy while saying, “Don’t worry Percy, I’m sure he won’t notice us!”

All of a sudden, they heard some faint chuckling. Gordon began shaking like he did in “Thomas And The Magic Railroad” and he said, “I think that’s him!”

Thomas made his eyes go left and right meaning he was looking to see who was there. We then see a point of view from Thomas’s eyes. He didn’t see anything just yet.

All of a sudden, Tex dropped down in front of the engines. He was holding a machete like he did in the THX Dreamworks trailer.

Tex said, “Hello there little engines. Sexy Texy is about to wreak havoc on this so called Island of Sodor.” Thomas got angry and said, “Stay away from us you scary robot, we know what you did. Don’t make our drivers and firemen report you to the police!”

Tex then said, “I don’t think the police can do anything about it, as I have killed them with my killing tools. Time for me to be an engineer!”

He then went to Gordon, who seemed really scared. “Hey Gordon!” Tex said to him. “I got a riddle for you.” Gordon said, “What is it?”

Tex began the riddle by saying, “What is something that people use to put papers together, but is harmful to the body parts?”

Gordon asked, “Is it a stapler, like the one you are carrying right now?” Tex said, “You are goddamn correct.” I was shocked to hear that word in a Hit Entertainment show. Tex then put the stapler in Gordon’s eye. However, Gordon didn’t sound like he was screaming in the cartoon, it sounded like Michael Angelis was being tortured badly.

While Gordon was getting killed, Percy got very scared and said, “Thomas, I can’t take it anymore, we gotta get out of here!” Thomas said, “Good idea Percy!” Thomas went on the turntable and it aimed towards Percy’s spot. “Quick, get on. We’re going to find some safety!”

When they left, Gordon was officially dead, and Tex then managed to set the remaining engines including the sheds on fire with a flamethrower.

Tex said, “I got everyone else, except for the blue tank engine and small green engine!” He then flew to where they were going. Thomas and Percy had very scared looks on their faces.

They soon noticed that Tex was following them. Percy said, “Thomas, since we might die for good. Just know that we have been ok friends!”

As Tex kept chasing them, Thomas and Percy were near a bridge that had the water wheel. Tex then said, “Hey Percy, would you like to go swimming?” Percy said, “Get away from us you red robot?” Tex then said, “Too late!”

It then landed on Percy’s whistle. Percy who was trying to grab some breath said, “Uh oh!”

Tex then watched the explosion from the water. And then he went after Thomas who was just about to head to Knapford Station to inform Sir Topham Hatt about what he had seen. But Tex dropped down almost in front of Thomas.

Thomas applied his brakes when he saw him. “Well well well blue tank engine. You are never going to report a crime like this. Goodbye!”

He then took out a grenade and launched it at Thomas’s face. Before it made contact with him, the screen cut to black as the sound of a loud explosion was heard, meaning that Thomas exploded.

But it wasn’t over yet. The trailer then showed the park from Barney & Friends. Barney was with some kids who were named Omar, Tim, Eleanor and Cynthia as it showed the names of the kids at the beginning of the scene. BJ had fallen asleep as if he didn’t want to be up for the rest of the night.

Eleanor said, “This sleepover party sure is great Barney. Those snacks you prepared were delicious.” Tim said, “Good thing I brought my telescope. Let’s see what’s in the sky!” The kids including Barney agreed. We then see a point of view of Tim’s telescope. He was looking at what appeared to be The Big Dipper.

In the process of gazing at the stars, the sound of the galactic beeping from the Tap Dancing Teddy Bear magical event from Teletubbies was heard. If it were Tex, I don’t think he would ever make that sound.

While he gazed at the stars, Cynthia began to say, “Hey, what’s that red thing in the stars?’ Tim said, “A red thing? That’s probably Mars.” He then looked through the telescope again. “That’s no Mars, it looks rather different and another size. Wait, I think it’s moving towards us.”

Barney asked, “What do you think it might be?” Tim then said, “Well, I’m hearing weird noises. It sounds like flying. Oh my, it’s zooming in. It’s a robot!” The robot, of course, resembled Tex.

He flew down in front of Barney and the gang. “Greetings amigos!” Tex said. Omar asked, “What are you doing here, red robot?” Tex then said, “Oh nothing, I just came out here to join your sucky sleepover!”

Cynthia said, “This sleepover isn’t bad, you should enjoy it. Why not gaze at the stars with us?” Tex replied with, “Oh, I don’t think I will. By the way Cynthia.”

As Tex was speaking, he got interrupted as Cynthia asked, “Can we get you something to drink or eat?” Tex then said, “Nah, I’m good. Anyways, I bet you have a vagina that is clearly a tiny penis on the inside!” I was shocked by the fact that Tex would say something terrible. The kids gasped as Omar angrily said to Tex, “Hey, that is no way to talk to a girl like that!”

Barney then spoke again by saying, “Excuse me red robot, but may we ask that you kindly don’t attend our sleepover party?” Tex responded with, “Shut up you purple dildo. Now I must kill you! But first I have to do something.”

Tex took out a pistol and shot BJ in the face about 5 times till he was no longer snoring. The kids got scared and Eleanor yelled, “Come on Barney, we gotta hide.” He did as the kids said and they went indoors.

When they got inside, Eleanor asked, “Barney, is there a key around here to lock the door?” Barney replied with, “That door should have a simple door knob that easily locks.” Eleanor locked it and ran to Barney.

Tim said, “Well guys, um, I just wanted to tell you that we were somewhat good friends. I hope to see you in heaven.”

All of a sudden, the sound of a wooden door trying to open could be heard. Tex, who was outside said, “Little pigs, little pigs, let me in, let me in.” When Tex said that, Cynthia picked up a wooden chair to throw at Tex. Tex continued by saying, “Not by the hair on your chinny chin chin? Well I’ll huff, and I’ll puff.” Then he went into a demonic tone. “And I’ll blow your house in!”

He then began to chainsaw the door down. When he finished, he shouted, “Time for some fun with the Tyrannosaurus Tex!” Cynthia then threw the chair at Tex. Tex evilly laughed and then he said, “Throwing a chair won’t do you any good. Now you must die.” He then took a saw blade from the KQED Kids THX trailer and he rammed it up Cynthia’s chest.

She screamed in pain. After she died, Tex went over to the remaining 4 and he sliced them with a fire axe. After that, he flew away. Then the screen went to black. But it still wasn’t over. It then cut to a construction site from Bob the Builder at night.

Bob started talking by saying, “Well gang, today were going to be on night duty so we can make sure that the project we are working on can still be in the progress. But the main issue is that someone keeps tumbling it down.”

Scoop then said, “Can we watch it?” The rest of the gang said, “Yes we can!” All of a sudden, they heard some faint chuckling. Muck nervously asked, “What’s that noise?” Bob said, “It sounds like laughter!” Scoop asked, “Do you think Spud is up to his silly tricks?”

Tex said, “Hello there terrible workers, what are you up to tonight?” Bob said, “We aren’t terrible. We do the best we can. Anyways, we’re working on this project, but someone keeps tumbling it down.”

Tex then replied, “Oh, I know who keeps doing it, It’s me! I’m doing it because it means nothing to me. Prepare to die, you hooligans!” He then took out a grenade launcher similar to the one from Fortnite and said, “Time to fix some construction vehicles with the T-Rex!” When he said that, it reminded me of the scene where Tex meets Lightning and Mater from the lost THX Pixar trailer.

Bob said, “If you try to kill us, I’ll report you to the police!” Tex then said, “I don’t think you can do that. I’m gonna blow up your vehicles.” He then pulled the grenade trigger and all the vehicles who were named, Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Roley and Lofty blew up.

Next, Tex took out a fire axe like in the last scene and said, “So long Bobby!” Before the axe made contact with Bob, it cut to black yet again.

The next scene showed The Wiggles driving in the big red car at night. Murray asked, “Uh, Greg? Where are we going? You do know it’s a little bit too early to be out.’

Greg replied, “Well Murray, I think Captain Feathersword said that there’s something dangerous going on at his pirate ship, so we better see what the problem is.”

Jeff was fast asleep since it was the correct time in this scene. Anthony said, “Jeff has fallen asleep. Shall I wake him up? Greg replied with, “No Anthony, let’s let him sleep.”

“Oh ok.” Anthony said.

Out of nowhere, the Wiggles began hearing Tex’s evil laughter. Murray got scared and said, “Uh oh, is there a vampire here in town?

Greg said, “I don’t know if it’s a vampire Murray. But it’s something different.”

Then, Tex dropped down in front of the big red car. Greg stopped the car and asked Tex, “Excuse me sir, can I help you?” Tex said, “No, I’m good. What I’m here for is to kill you since you 4 are on my disrespected logo list!”

Anthony yelled, “Let’s get out of here Greg!” Greg replied with, “Good idea Anthony!” Greg then started the car and they drove away from Tex. Murray asked, “What’s this thing about a disrespected logo list?” Greg said, “Don’t bother with it Murray, he’s just being silly.”

Tex was seen chasing them. He managed to grab Anthony by the head and he was pulled out of the big red car. “Help me!” Anthony shouted. Greg turned his head around and saw that Anthony was being lifted by Tex.

Next, Tex went over to Murray and slammed his head with his guitar. Murray began getting a tear in his eye due to how painful his head was. After that, Tex took an axe and sliced Murray’s head off.

Jeff suffered the same fate as Anthony did. Greg got out of the car completely angry. He said, “Listen hear red robot, I don’t know who you are and what you want from us, but killing innocent people for disrespecting a logo is terrible. I will report you to Officer Beaples!”

Tex said, “That’s enough police talk from you!” He then took out a chainsaw and began ramming it up Greg’s chest. However, Greg wasn’t screaming in pain, it sounded more like the Frost King from Castle Crashers screaming.

Once he finished killing Greg, he then flew away. Next it went to a shot of Kipper’s house. Kipper was making what looked like a cake. He put it in the oven and walked away from it. Kipper said, “I should get some frosting to put on the cake.”

Before Kipper could open the doors to the cabinet, he heard some faint chuckling. He jumped when he heard it. “What in the world was that noise?” Kipper asked.

He looked around his house wondering where it came from. That wasn’t until he heard the doorbell. Kipper said, “Someone’s at the door. Maybe it’s Tiger. I bet he knows where that evil laughter came from!”

He then walked over to the door and opened it. When the door opened, he saw Tex. “What’s up orange canine? I heard you are baking a cake. Who is it for?” Tex said. Kipper replied, “Um, I’m just making this for myself. May I offer you a slice?” Tex then said, “Oh man, don’t want to share huh?. Time to celebrate a birthday with the T-Man!” Tex took out an AK-47 and Kipper screamed.

Tex and Kipper then went outside the house and Kipper accidentally stepped on a bear trap. As soon as he stepped on it. He began howling, but it sounded more like a wolf’s howl. After howling, he started growing a tear from his eye. Just then, Tex showed up again with the AK-47 in Kipper’s face.

Kipper said, “Please red robot, I didn’t do anything wrong!” Tex said, “Too late, cause I’m about to have some dog meat for lunch.” Before Tex could kill Kipper, it cut to black once again as the sound of the AK-47 firing was heard.

Then the trailer went to some sort of wooden house from Angelina Ballerina. Angelina and her friend Alice appeared in robes and it looked like they were on night duty. Alice asked, “Angelina, what are we even doing here? It’s super late at night.”

Angelina replied, “Well, our teacher has been having some fears of some sort of robot attacking innocent people, so I want to make sure it doesn’t attack us.”

Alice then said, “Well ok. Wake me up if you see anything strange!” As Alice fell asleep, Angelina heard Tex’s evil laughter. Angelina said, “Alice, wake up! I heard something!” Alice yawned and said, “What is it?”

Angelina then said, “It sounded like laughter.” All of a sudden, Tex dropped down behind them. Both Angelina and Alice gasped. Tex said, “Hello little mice, I’ve been hired to exterminate you!” Angelina got angry and said, “Listen here Tex, no one appreciates what you have done to innocent people. Get out of our sight before we report you!”

Tex said, “I don’t think that’s possible! Now you should feel the wrath of the Tyrannosaurus Tex!” He then chased the 2 mice while still carrying the same flamethrower. Angelina and Alice kept running until they approached what looked like a dead end.

“Sorry little mice, but there is nowhere else to go. Now I must exterminate you!” He then started the flamethrower and fire came out. Angelina and Alice began burning. As they burned, they were screaming. But their screams sounded more like the screams of 2 little girls.

Angelina and Alice were dead.

After that, the trailer cut to a shot of Pingu’s house at night. Pingu and his family were outside making some smores because of the campfire in front of them.

Apparently, this scene was in the season 1 animation. While Pingu and his family were putting their marshmallows in the fire, they heard Tex’s sinister laughing. Pinga was really scared when she heard that. She got in her mother’s hands as Pingu's mom carried her.

Pingu went out to see where the sinister chuckling came from. He then noticed that he was far from his house. All of a sudden, Tex dropped down in front of Pingu and said, “Hello there little penguin. Let me guess, you are lost aren’t you?”

Before Pingu could say anything, Tex said, “Well don’t worry. I will make sure you don’t see your family again.”

Pingu got angry and began confronting Tex. As he did that, Pingu’s father came out and saw the situation. He also confronted him. Tex then said, “Ok, that is enough from you two. Time to die!” Tex took out a chainsaw and began chasing after the 2 penguins.

Once they got back to the campfire, the mother noticed the worried looks on their faces. It looked like Pingu was trying to tell his mother and Pinga that a red robot was after them. Just then, Tex dropped down again.

Then Tex said, “I’m having penguin flesh for dinner tonight!” Before the chainsaw made contact with Pingu and his family, it showed the front door of Pingu’s house, as the penguin family began screaming realistically. But Pinga’s cries sounded more like one of the baby’s cries from the 2002 Ice Age movie.

The screen then went to black for 5 seconds after they were killed. After 5 seconds, it went to a wide shot of the THX logo as it appears in the Moo Can trailer. On the floor was a dead corpse of Sir Topham Hatt along with Captain Feathersword’s sword which happened to have blood stains on it.

And then, once again, the screaming deep note began to play. The screams appeared to belong to Thomas, Percy, Barney, Bob, Scoop, Greg, Murray, Jeff, Anthony, Kipper, Angelina Mouseling and Pingu.

The screams hurt my ears like in that last trailer. Even though I covered my ears, they were clearly bleeding. So like my last experience, I went to clean my ears. When I came back, I unpaused the DVD.

Like all those other trailers, Tex dropped down. He then held up the head of, dear motherfucking lord, it was the head of Sally from Wee Sing Together. But why would Tex show that instead of someone like Britt Allcroft?

Anyways, Tex began to speak.

“Hello there Hit Entertainment fans! I am back at it again by murdering your favorite characters. Now why did I do this again? Well, the characters disrespected me and my logo. I have also killed this little girl named Sally because her video had a 1996 VHS re-release and she, too, disrespected my logo. Just know this Hit Entertainment fans, if you are scared of me, I will find you and your family. Sayonara amigos!”

He then dropped the head of Sally and flew off into the dark sky while evilly laughing. The screen faded to show the slogan that said, “The Audience Is Listening.” The corners of the screen were blood stained as a reverse cymbal sound began playing.

After that, it faded to black. It stayed like this for about 10 seconds. I thought that it was over. But after 10 seconds, it showed one last thing that scared the living shit out of me.

Rather than being a demented picture of Thomas or Percy, it was instead a demented picture of the bull from the Thomas & Friends episode “Faulty Whistles” from the scene where Duncan loudly toots his whistle, which angers the bull.

However, the bull’s eyes were black with red pupils and it was crying blood. It was accompanied by a slow and loud distorted version of a bull’s grunt, the brake sound from the 1964 movie “The Train” and the gut wrenching Howie scream.

After all of that, it took me back to the menu. I was scared shitless after what I saw. Why did they even use a bull for the jumpscare if it wasn’t mentioned in the trailer?

I decided to not look at the bonus features as they would probably be the same 3 Tex trailers and other trailers for Hit Entertainment shows.

When my mom came home, I showed her what was on the DVD and she believed me. That night, I didn’t sleep. I have had nightmares of ways that Tex could kill me like one of my friends said.

And sometimes at night, I can imagine the black eyed bull with red pupils standing near my door ready to kill me any second.

The next day, I smashed the rare THX DVD and threw it in the garbage. I would assume that the person behind that trailer was Adam Kennington.

My advice is to never, ever, encounter a THX DVD boxset.
