The faux trailers were an awful lot of fun, but I don't think they would become amusing full-length films.
"Don't" obviously shouldn't become a ninety-minute feature. The trailer doesn't even offer any material for an interesting film; it's nothing but repetition of a single word. I don't mean to criticize the trailer, because I thought it was hysterical, but you can't expand on the teaser no matter how hard you try. It's the one faux trailer that will definitely never become a full film.
Eli Roth can create great concepts, as illustrated in "Thanksgiving" and the lesser-known "Rotten Fruit" shorts, but I didn't enjoy his three feature films. I think he needs to perfect his method before he becomes a great horror autuer, and considering he's been basically unemployed since 2007, "Thanksgiving" isn't the time to sharpen his skills.
"Werewolf Women of the S.S." is a toss-up. I'm not a big fan of Rob Zombie, but I suppose the premise is strong enough to believe in a full expansion.
There will probably never be a "Grindhouse 2", but if there is, I would prefer to see Rodriguez and Tarantino return. They're obviously the most competent guys for the job, and handing the reigns to someone else would be too risky.

In a way though, there has already been a Grindhouse 2. The first Grindhouse spawned Machete (and Machete Kills), but also Hobo with a Shotgun. They didn't both get released as a double feature with the title of Grindhouse 2, but it almost counts if you were having a double feature movie night at home. There are even some fake Grindhouse trailers on YouTube (part of a contest when the first movie came out) that you could incorporate in between both films!
As to the OP's original question, there has been talk for years about a full-length feature of Thanksgiving. I would still love to see that happen, because I have enjoyed Eli Roth's other films and it would be brilliant to have a Thanksgiving slasher movie (I am not counting Thankskilling in this). I think out of all the other trailers, this one had the most potential.
I agree that Don't only works as a trailer and less so as a feature length (what more is there to see?). And I can't stand Rob Zombie, so I hope that WWoftheSS never gets made. At this point, I don't think it's likely to see any of them get the full-length treatment. But my fingers are still crossed for Thanksgiving!
I love a good holiday slasher.
shareI remember going to see this in the theater when it first came out - was disappointing to hear it wasn't received well at the time
I still think they should revisit this down the road, only, because they won't have the cash flow to do it - go with the indie scene - there is a lot that can be done on a low budget and would only increase that Grindhouse feel
I remember the chatter about a "Grindhouse, Screen 2" That had full length Thanksgiving and Werewolf Women of the SS - even just Thanksgiving by itself would have been a lot of fun
