The Undertaker and His Pals:
A macabre story of two motorcycle-riding, knife-wielding, shiv-shaving, eye-gouging, arm-twisting, chain-lashing, scalpel-flashing, acid-throwing, gun-shooting, bone-breaking, pathological nuts and their pal the UNDERTAKER...

Deranged:
'Poor Sally Mae died a very unusual death....but the worst hasn't happened to her'

Ilsa - SheWolf of the SS:
She committed crimes so heinous even the SS feared her!!

Maniac:
I warned her not to go out.

I Spit on your Grave:
"This woman has just cut, chopped, broken and burned five men beyond recognition but no jury in America would ever convict her!"

Snuff:
"A film that could only be made in South America, where life is CHEAP!"

I had at least 3 of those as shirts over the years.

I think so too.

The Man With No Name Is Back...The Man In Black Is Waiting! As If One Wasn't Enough...As If Death Needed A Double! --- FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE

I'm wondering if it shouldn't be "As If One Weren't Enough," subjunctive mood and all.::confused::

I really like the tagline for The Babadook:

"If it's in a word, or it's in a look, you can't get rid of... the Babadook."

Those are quite good. Especially for The Thing. I wasn't even aware of that tagline, and it's a classic tagline.
