Existing Taglines from Horror posters.

When carrying out my research on Teaser trailers and poster of the horror genre, one element which stood out were taglines. Taglines are a key tool in informing the audience the genre of the Film, and provide an idea to what the film beholds to the audience. 

Below, I have attached a listed of 20+ Taglines from existing Horror Films. These will help give me idea's when creating my own taglines, to put on both my teaser trailer and poster. 


The Women In Black
'Do you believe in Ghosts?'


Walled In
'Some Secrets Are Best Left Buried'


 The Uninvited
'Fear Moves In' 


The Thing 
'Its Not Human Yet' 


The Ring
'Before You Die, You See'

'Evil Wear Many Faces'

Similarities and Differences:
When I started to evaluate these taglines in terms of their similarities and differences, I noticed that despite their being some differences, there were some common similarities. The first similarity I notices, was the that the taglines were adresed to the audience. An example of how the taglines are addressed to the audience is through the use of the word 'You'. The second similarity I found when analysing these taglines, was the common use of horror themes, such as 'Death', 'Evil', 'Supra natural powers', 'Ghosts' and 'Fear'.
