sometimes hype for a movie is so great
it’s scary
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
hyped
horror movies for this list we are
taking a look at scary movies from the
90s onward that garnered lots of hype
through intense marketing and sheer
anticipation whether the film ended up
being good or bad doesn’t matter as long
as the publicity proceeding it had
everybody pumped up this is part of a
series of videos focusing on the most
hyped movies from various genres I’ve
seen this film alone
number ten Halloween pure evil with John
Carpenter’s Halloween being a perennial
classic a new version was about as
necessary as the original seven sequels
nevertheless the trailer for the 2007
reimagining had many horror fans
convinced that this could be a stylish
gritty and fresh successor to the
definitive slasher flick Michael with
Rob Zombie helming the project and
Malcolm McDowell perfectly cast as dr.
Samuel Loomis these are the eyes of a
psychopath it actually looked like the
film was going to break the horror
remake curse but with the movie be a
trick or a treat Halloween number nine
grindhouse
if you adore b-movies exploitation films
and double features the trailer for
grindhouse blew your mind even if you
weren’t familiar with the term grind
house it was hard not to be intrigued by
the prospect of Robert Rodriguez and
Quentin Tarantino directing a
back-to-back cinematic extravaganza
talents like Eli Roth Rob Zombie and
Edgar Wright were also attached to the
project each producing a shoddily loving
fake trailer
although grindhouse had rave reviews and
strong buzz on its side the film was
unfortunately overlooked and bombed at
the box office ladies
number 8 devil where I come from we call
it the devil’s meeting remember when M
night Shyamalan named was enough to sell
a picture well people have since come to
realize that he’s not the modern
Hitchcock we built him up to be I see
you’ve been trained to kill people
regardless many felt he might find
redemption in the initial installment to
his proposed the Knight Chronicles
trilogy
looking like something out of The
Twilight Zone the Shyamalan produced
supernatural horror depicted five people
getting stuck in an elevator
with the devil hidden among them I need
to be an elevator right now move
despite the engaging setup audiences
ultimately argued that devil did not
live up to its potential what a twist
the one night number seven the purge
just remember all the good the purge
does okay the premise for the purge
makes about as much sense as well the
devil singling out five people in an
elevator this is your emergency
broadcast system announcing the
commencement of the annual purge
sanctioned by the US government still
the notion of crime being legalized for
12 hours had audiences curious the
advertisements promised a groundbreaking
social commentary on government human
nature and 21st century America’s
changing ways you need to return him to
us alive so we made purchase we were
entitled granted this idea would never
happen in real life
the hype surrounding the film however
got a lot of people asking what if the
purge was real their answers were
probably more interesting than the movie
we ultimately got he’s just as purged
toodaloo sentence number six alien vs.
predator given the numerous alien vs.
predator comics video games and novels
fans wondered for the longest time if
these two species would ever butt heads
on the big screen
their prayers were answered when the
teaser for a VP hit implying that
whoever won this anticipated battle
humanity would lose
although Arnold Schwarzenegger and
Sigourney Weaver weren’t making
appearances it didn’t really matter all
we needed to know was that the xenomorph
and yocha would finally be starring
together after spending decades in
development hell number 5 hostile
hostile benefited from being released
less than a year after saw when the
demand for torture porn was at an
all-time high among mainstream audiences
while Eli Roth directed hostile Quentin
Tarantino’s producer credit is what
caught audience’s attention people were
additionally sucked in by the film’s
premise which concerns hapless
backpackers at the raw end of a deal
between a European torture facility and
wealthy clients looking to feed their
sick urges
earning better than expected reviews
hostel had little trouble opening at
number one at the box office
number four Freddy vs. Jason the stuff
nightmares are beta this long-awaited
crossover event brought two of the
horror genres greatest icons together
for the ultimate slasher showdown the
marketing campaign built their fight up
as if Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees
were competing for the world heavyweight
championship
they even appeared at Bally’s Las Vegas
hotel for a weigh-in that’s just one of
the several entertaining interviews the
two had leading up to the film’s release
flying it Jason why do you kill whether
you placed your bet on Freddy or Jason
we were all rooting for the flick to
kick ass number three the sixth sense
here’s how it works I read your mind
while the sixth sense had a bankable
lead and solid advertising the film
didn’t accumulate mega hype until after
its opening weekend why because of that
immortal surprise ending everybody now
knows about but that still needs to be
headlined by a spoiler alert whenever
discussed not since psycho has a film
done a better job at keeping its secrets
under wraps then sucking the masses in
with incredible word-of-mouth The Sixth
Sense only got more buzz worthy overtime
remaining number one at the box office
for five consecutive weeks
number two paranormal activity it seems
to me something this basically
Paranormal Activity started off as an
underground cult film that slowly became
a sought-after commodity I would see
that you should call out that just like
the shadowy just figure would be at the
foot of my bed and it was always a foot
of my bed it was never at the foot of
her bed but she didn’t see it rather
than spending countless millions on a
big ad campaign the film’s revolutionary
marketing instead relied on audiences to
get the word out the trailer took an
unconventional approach by showing
footage of an audience’s horrified
reaction to the film at a free screening
with everybody wanting to know if it
really was the scariest movie ever
Paranormal Activity only took four days
to reach 1 million demands uneventful
calm and to achieve a wide release
before we build up our top pick here are
a few honorable mentions Camilla got in
touch with a medium we learned from her
that the doll was possessed by a girl
named Annabelle Higgins she had lost her
parents and had taken a liking to my
doll
number one the Blair Witch Project have
you ever heard of the Blair Witch
although the campaign for paranormal
activity was ingenious that film never
would have broken out had it not been
for the Blair Witch Project
utilizing the Internet to produce hype
the studio marketed this low-budget
horror picture as a documentary pretty
creepy stuff I believe there’s something
happening and you think that it’s
possible that she’s still up there now I
don’t go out there having come out years
before found-footage flicks became a
popular trend many audiences were
inclined to believe them the
performances and cinematography
represented in the trailer only made
these claims more convincing
even if you didn’t buy into such
accusations you most definitely bought a
ticket to see the movie do you agree
with our list – wait what horror flicks
were you psyched to see based on all the
hype Halloween for more entertaining top
