Just when you thought it was safe to read again...

So, lets venture back to a time when a movie poster's taglines had the power to excite you into seeing the film...today we look at some of the greatest movie taglines in horror, sci-fi, and fantasy cinema!

A stress-free holiday that warrants relaxation, swimming, campfires, hanging out with friends, romantic nights, and long walks by the lake. Of course, this holiday needs to be celebrated at a secluded camp site to get the most out of it. May we recommend Camp Crystal Lake? Oh, you've heard of it? What? They now call it Camp Blood, you say? Nonsense...you're going to let some maniac in a hockey mask ruin your fun?

Voorhees. Jason Voorhees.
