OPPLES AND BONONOS



It's hard to see but the poster above says: ONLY HER DESIRE CAN MAKE HIM RISE AGAIN
(Ghost boners.)



GHOSTS CAN'T DO IT Trailer - ARTISTdirect Music

And look what idiot made an appearance:

If you were running against McDonald for president, you might just run a clip of his performance in this titanic piece of shit with the tagline: "Do you really think this guy makes good decisions?"

POPPIN TAGS



Not bad. But whoever wrote this one deserves a shrine in the Idiot Pantheon:


One chick gets her balloon popped in this trailer:

NILES FINALLY SNAPPED

Another tasty throwback. Keep em comin.



BACK TO FORMLESS

This is just a badass graphic with a badass tagline. Trailer is ok. Good old fashioned house-horror.

"WE GOT A DOLLAR NINETY-EIGHT, AND YOU'RE LAUGHING!"


They're young... they're in love

... and they kill people.


This film was revolutionary in every way, including a tagline that is both menacing and playful, the perfect tone for the film.
My dad tells a story about the first time he saw Bonnie and Clyde (1967), and the rage he felt when he found he couldn't help breaking down and crying after the film's horrific climax. He had been toyed with plain and simple by director Arthur Penn, and he knew it. Nowadays he respects it as a classic, but I try to imagine what that must have felt like, an honest fury because you have been manipulated to a point beyond control of your emotions, perhaps beyond recognition of your principles.

ONE GOOD TAG DESERVES ANOTHER

Oh fuck.
In case you were wondering about the axe talent of these humpbacked hillfolk:
The tagline-as-title is a delicacy, and they nailed it here with LEFT FOR DEAD.

It's no mystery why the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) format has legs. Scrap up some inbred mutant retards who'd rather torture beautiful women than have sex with them, and I assure you you'll put pervs in seats, given your gore-game is tight.
The Massacre's campy, 80s-baby brother:
Wes Craven responded to the competition in 1977:
Every once in a while a poster like this can cause me an ineffable sense of guilt. Despite the obvious exploitation of a man with Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia, this poster just looks so innocent when compared to 21st century horror.
In the case of this 2006 remake, you've got a total barf-fest on your hands, and there's really no jokes in there to keep your corn-n-twizzler combo down. Actually, I took a girl to this movie on a first date... Yes, my little idiots, you've correctly surmised there was indeed no second date.

ME AND GHOULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD


Literally the laziest tagline I've ever seen. I hope you understand that's saying a lot.
A logical solution.
The trailer also flaunts taglines like They get an A in Mayhem and They put the "Animal" back into "House".

Not even the inevitable scene where the Ghoulies crush 200 beers could get a laugh out of me... except for the last 3 seconds: "Nightcap anyone?" I played that like 20 times.
Classic form for a death scene. A+!!

Finding this poster was like excavating for a dinosaur.
A little black magic, a little black leather... and a lot of black humor.


These are actually just pictures of me from last New Year's Eve.
