“A horror film’s job is to scare you, is to get your pulse going, is to make you scream and yell. It’s to make you be afraid. That’s its main purpose, and creeping you out. And that can be an enjoyable experience.” --- John Carpenter ::::::::::::: MY CRITERIA FOR DISCUSSION ENCOMPASSES THE HORROR GENRE AND BEYOND, SO I USE THE TERM "NIGHTMARE MOVIES".

Horror QUIZ #30: What Movie Is That Tagline From?

February 16th 2010 22:35

I’ve always wanted a job as the person who creates the all-important alluring tagline for a movie. There are so many memorable ones, like “In space no one can hear you scream”, or “They’re here”, or “A romantic comedy. With zombies”. So here's a selection, most of them perhaps not quite as easy as the ones I just mentioned, some perhaps easier.

How good are you at identifying the movie from the tagline?


1. Man is the warmest place to hide.

2. Imagine your worst fear a reality.

3. For God’s sake, get out!

4. It knows what scares you.

5. Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light.

6. If you’re not back by midnight … you won’t be coming home.

7. I told you not to go out tonight.

8. The monster movie.

9. Pray for daylight.

10. Welcome to your worst nightmare.

11. From deep space …

12. The one that goes all the way.

13. Enter ... if you dare, the bizarre world of the psychosexual mind.


13 … Brilliant! The Scarlet Severed Hand trophy for you!
9 – 12 … Well, well, well, very impressive, you know your horror schtick!
5 – 8 … You’ve spent some time in the Dark, good work, but no bloodied cigar for you!
1 – 4 … Best you stick to watching the daytime soaps.

To check answers right click and scroll cursor over black area directly below:
1. The Thing 2. The Howling 3. The Amityville Horror 4. Poltergeist 5. Se7en 6. Prom Night 7. Maniac 8. An American Werewolf in London 9. Near Dark 10. Hostel 11. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) 12. Cannibal Holocaust 13. Torso (AKA Bodies Bear Traces of Carnal Violence)

"4. It knows what scares you."

Are you sure that's from a Movie? I heard that on an old TV show called are you afraid of the Dark on Nikolodeon in an episode with an African statue that had the power to force people to see their fears and then condense the fear into soup that would not only taste good, but make whoever drank it stronger.

Master, trust me, I know my horror schtick (well, mostly I do), and yes, that tagline is definitely from a movie. In fact, that one in particular has two (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

My friend, Ive recognized many, but my memory is so bad I can pin any of them down, I may be smart in some things, but extremely ignorant in others.
