“Appearing on posters or in film trailers, movie taglines are designed to give film fans that one catchphrase that producer’s hope will stick in their memories. The best ones can go down in pop culture history and the worst ones can make a bad picture even more laughable. In honor of Halloween, we have put together our list of the 15 best and worst taglines in horror film history. We’ve culled 80 years of history to come up with our list. Yesterday, we showed you the cream of the crop. Today, we’ll give you the bottom of the barrel. Be sure to leave a comment on some of your best and worst picks as well.”
For example, no. 12 is “Rest in Beast” from 1996′s Werewolf. Read the rest of the top 15 at mania.com
