Title: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: retrorussell on February 27, 2010, 12:34:03 AM Hey gang!
We all remember some sort of taglines on posters or video covers that caught our eye, whether it was stupid, awesome, or funny, or all at once! What ones stick out in your mind? For me: "You don't have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre!"--Pieces "They were warned.. they are doomed. And on Friday the 13th, nothing will save them."--Friday the 13th , original "WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU!"--Zombie Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: RCMerchant on February 27, 2010, 06:15:17 AM This-

It's cleavage vs. cleavers and the result is delta delta deadly! (http://screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/alien_poster.jpg) Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: RCMerchant on February 27, 2010, 07:49:10 AM Another very un-PC tag.....
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/RCMerchant/10541.jpg) Afro-goona? What the hell is a "goona"? :buggedout: Not quite a tagline- (http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l79/RCMerchant/2644801814_5ed98a7bd9.jpg) They really gave these out. I own one! :smile: Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: joejoeherron on February 28, 2010, 05:46:18 AM I remember seeing a vhs copy of "nail gun massacre" at the local video store.
the tag line was "it's cheaper than a chainsaw!" always makes me laugh Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: Monster Jungle X-Ray on February 28, 2010, 06:04:05 AM I always like the tagline for Popcorn
Buy a bag... go home in a box :teddyr: Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: Cthulhu on February 28, 2010, 06:11:46 AM Woodchipper Massacre
"How much flesh would a Woodchipper chip, if a Woodchipper could chip flesh?" Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: retrorussell on February 28, 2010, 06:15:11 AM I forgot about the Dark Power one.. that really is awful. :teddyr:
That would be awesome to own a barf bag, especially from Zombie. Cool tagline, bad movie: (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h7BCKv5O5wE/SIPNJl8xPPI/AAAAAAAAAGo/EscVhdz5Udg/s400/humongous.jpg) Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: Shadow on February 28, 2010, 09:28:28 AM From a couple of 80's slashers:
The Mutilator: "By pick, by axe, by sword, bye bye!" The Prey: "It's not human, and it's got an axe!"

Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: joejoeherron on March 04, 2010, 05:31:53 AM This tag is on my vhs copy of Army of Darkness;
Trapped in time Surronded by evil Low on gas The tag on my vhs of The Mechanic (with charles bronson) He has more than a dozen ways to kill and they all work! Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: Mofo Rising on March 04, 2010, 11:53:30 AM I always liked this one from The Willies (1990):
"You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll puke, you'll die!" That's a lot for just one movie to take you through, you know? Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: retrorussell on March 04, 2010, 03:45:56 PM Dawn Of The Dead:
When there's no more room in HELL.. the DEAD will walk the Earth Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: AndyC on March 08, 2010, 10:27:29 PM The Prey: "It's not human, and it's got an axe!" That has to be my favourite tagline. Not very creative, but it gets right to business. :teddyr: Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: retrorussell on March 09, 2010, 12:14:44 AM The Prey: "It's not human, and it's got an axe!" That has to be my favourite tagline. Not very creative, but it gets right to business. :teddyr: From what I remember, I don't think he used the axe much at all after the opening. A terrible low-budget movie with lots of nature footage (!) and a truly goofy performance by the park ranger. A lot of people were suckered in by that admittedly cool tagline. Really dumb tagline.. Killer to the left! Killer to the right! Stand up! Sit down! Fright! Fright! Fright! --Return To Horror High Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: AndyC on March 09, 2010, 08:53:35 AM The Prey: "It's not human, and it's got an axe!"

A terrible low-budget movie with lots of nature footage (!) and a truly goofy performance by the park ranger. A lot of people were suckered in by that admittedly cool tagline. And if I recall correctly, the killer WAS human, just badly burned, so that tagline is completely false. Still admire its simplicity though. Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: BUREINPARESU on March 10, 2010, 02:05:53 PM Dominator - "Anyone who says Rock is dead, WILL be!"
I kinda like this one, but it makes me think the film is going to be a dystopian future in which Rock music no longer exists. It's not. Title: Re: FUNNIEST/BEST/WORST TAGLINES Post by: Dan on January 29, 2011, 07:00:58 AM "Take the stairs, take the stairs. For God's sake, take the stairs!"

On that note: my favorite is from that lousy BIGFOOT movie with a Joi Landsing, Chris Mitchum, Doodles Weaver, and a very old John Carradine. BIGFOOT Breeds With Anything... (http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/product_images/1020/337079.1020.A.jpg) He doesn't breed with John Carradine, which might have been something to see.
