Horror teaser trailers

A teaser trailer is unlike a typical theatrical trailer, they usually are very short in lenth varying
between 30-90 seconds and often contain little, if any, actual footage from the film itself.
Sometimes it is simply a shortened version of a theatrical trailer which is normally followed after
the teaser. The teaser is usually released well in advanced to the film and 'teases' the audience
about the film. A teaser also creates hype for the film and tells the audience that the film is
coming.




This is a teaser trailer of The nightmare on Elm street (2010) it is a remake of the 1984 classic horror slasher movie. This trailer is quite unusual for a teaser as it far surpasses the average teaser trailer length and also clearly tells the audience the story. This teaser has created hype and also even some reviews on the film already about the cast choice, style etc.




This is a teaser for the film Mirrors. It uses clips from the film and effectivly tells the audience what the film is about. It also tells the audience the main star of the film which could gain extra viewers with the star power.
It uses little clips from the film mixed with intertitles which gradualy speeds up to create tension.



This is a teaser from the spanish move [REC]. The teaser runs at the expected length and also creates hype for the film. This teaser is in english even though the film is in spanish but it does tell the viewer that it is a spanish film. The teaser also tells the audience that it is in a handheld camera view.
