10 Awful Trailers For Surprisingly Good Horror Movies

Everyone knows that some horror movies are terrible, bad, poorly made, poorly written, or terrible. However, people always want to see the latest slasher movies, paranormal movies, and sci-fi B-movies.

So why is that? Well, it's hard to get those images out of your head when you watch a trailer full of costumed serial killers, creepy monsters, blood and guts. Ghosts, old men, and murders on Halloween may be bad, but we go to theaters to see them because we're drawn to their creepy trailers.

As scary as it is, some studios just don't know how, even if the movie they're selling is really good. Crimson Rush, The Invisible Man, and Get Out were innovative, original, and disturbing, but the marketing campaign had no idea how to appeal to those in movie promotions. As amazing as these movies are, these teasers make them boring, derivative, or laughable.

But we all know you can't judge a book by its cover. Although the studios make these great trailers, the movies themselves are worth watching.

Since The Stuff revolves around killer ice cream, you'd think it would be a horror comedy. And you would be 100% right.

It's a shame the marketing team didn't know what they were doing, as the trailer advertises The Stuff as a serious horror film.

We know that other horror comedies like Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead have been deliberately hyped so that we don't take the movies too seriously. But since The Stuff's teaser doubles as a killer appetizer, it might just be creepy, so you'd swear this clip came from SNL.

But if you're looking for a fantastic monster movie, these things should be spot on. Despite the low budget, the special effects are surprisingly inventive for alien fans. It has a great cast including Daniel Aiello, Paul Sorvino from Goodfellas and Abe Vigoda from The Godfather. Also, director Larry Cohen seems to really care about the story as he covers a lot of smart themes about corporate greed and consumerism.

This is undone by some awkward scene transitions and clumsy prosthetic handling, but there's definitely a lot to like here.
