My latest article at Flashbak remembers some crazy horror movie tag-lines from the 1990s.
Here's a snippet (and the url: http://flashbak.com/10-ridiculous-but-awesome-horror-movie-tag-lines-of-the-1990s-17431/)
"By
the beginning of the 1990s, horror movies had changed significantly from
previous decades, and their tag-lines changed with the times too.
In
the 1970s, horror movies had titles such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
(1973) or The Last House on the Left (1972), but movies of the 1990s were
titled The Temp (1993) or Scream (1996).
Additionally,
horror movies of the 1990s were often big studio products, featuring A-list
stars like Julia Roberts, which meant that they required a degree of decorum
and respectability. Everything, including tag-lines, was becoming more…generic.
The
great age of ridiculous but awesome movie tag-lines was largely at an end.
But,
some movies still bucked the prevailing trend towards homogenization and
featured some good olf-fashioned, sleazy, funny, inspired tag-lines.
Here
are ten of the most ridiculous and yet awesome from that span."
