I love this film so much. It is not as scary as I was expecting (still pretty damn freaky in parts) I was blown away by the characters. The relationship between the mum and son is so organic that it makes up for the film not being as terrifying as it was made out to be. It Follows was much better in my opinion but mostly because it was much more original.

Some other trailers I’d add to this list: You’re Next, Final Destination 5, The Evil Dead

Yea, I remember watching it in theaters with a group including some non-horror fans. Blockbuster was still around at the time and my family had this movie pass deal that let you rent two DVDs at a time for a monthly charge or something (made for one bitchin’ summer). So, I rented all the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm St. movies and watched ’em all before the big fight.

Scream 3’s humor felt cheap and juvenile to me. Easy jokes that often actually failed to land. But hey again we all have different tastes.

Yeah the cheering started as soon as the title came up. And I remember in a docu one of the producers said the original trailer was all black with just sound but the MPAA said no dice. first time I heard of the MPAA getting involved on an R rated trailer but this is one of the times I’m glad they did get involved.

Part 1 and 2 definitely feel closer in style but there is something about the vibe of part 3 I like and the humor hit the spot a bit more.

Hell yea. It still gives me goosebumps. Thought-provoking, physically riveting. No trailer has ever affected me the way this one did and still continues to do.

Scream 3 just felt lacking to me and clearly was missing Kevin’s touch. But yup to each their own.

I didn’t expect much from Scream 3 which is maybe why I liked it so much. And Scream 2 I expected to be surprised a lot but I saw every twist coming a mile away. But to each their own my friend.

I remember my friends who did not even like horror movies called me after watching the trailer for Freddy vs. Jason and told me they waned to see it.

I have to disagree, especially about part 3. Three was the type of movie the first two made fun of. Not to mention it was pretty boring.

I humbly disagree. Scream 2 was decent but it fell into all the sequel traps that most part 2 sequels do, whereas part 1 went against everything that we thought we knew about the slasher/horror genre, which is what made it brilliant. Part 2 is just mediocre in my eyes. I thought part 3 was better overall. But Scream 2 did have a great trailer though.

First one that came to my mind too. The audience cheered in the theatre I was in.

The Ring 2… teaser. The one with the fade to black except the tv still running thing. Again, trailer was better than the movie (way better).

The Exorcist re-release. Wouldn’t say the trailer itself was anything great overall, but it had the stair walk sequence in it, which gave me more nightmares than any commercial should… and I love it for that.

HM: The Grudge (remake). Nothing special overall, but again, a stair walk/crawl (whats the deal?)… there’s a single shot of Kayako that is only in the trailer (and BD has used it as a cover pic once or twice) that is the creepiest fuckin thing ever to me… and again, I love it for that 🙂

I did love that trailer even if I thought the film was only ok.

One of the greatest taglines too.

I ALMOST included the House of Wax remake trailer lol.

I do love that Scream 3 trailer!

Same here!

I do love the Evil Dead trailer too (the red-band trailer) but it does give away like 80% of the money shots, which is why I left it off. I used to watch it on repeat on YouTube and show it to everyone though lol.

Yup. I used to watch that trailer ALL the time back in 2003. So good!

Thank you!

Right? Such a great movie and no one ever talks about it!

My favorite horror movie trailers include “Scream 3,” “Freddy Vs. Jason,” and “The Faculty.”
