Horror Movie Trailers That Could Be Shorts

Article by Anthony Cleveland

These are some great trailers that could stand on their own as horror shorts. A lot of these feature footage that was only shot for the trailer, which is great for a horror movie because you have no idea what to expect or who will survive the film. Take a look at some trailers that zero in on audience’s dread and phobias to get them packing into the theater!
