Oh yeah....I remember now....the trailers for "The Shining" were really creepy, I so did not want to see the film because I was too scared.
Same thing with "Dawn of the Dead"..........when I saw the TV spots for that, I was like, "Holy crap....no way. That looks like something I have no interest in seeing. No freakin' way."
I like the way they sold horror films back then...the approach was, "Don't see it. You really don't wanna know." And it pulled people in.
I eventually did see "Dawn of the Dead" and it STILL disturbs me...
