I decided to bring up two trailers of The Thing from Another World and John Carpenter's The Thing. I can be called unappreciative but after seeing the original Thing, I can say I prefer Carpenter's version for its intensity and clever tactics of the monster hiding as various characters.
The Thing from Another World
This film definately has the '50s style trailer: large words which promise a new type of monster that bullets can't stop. The film does spoil one of the best parts of the movie, where the Thing runs around in an inferno.
John Carpenter's The Thing
Not only does it do a good job not spoiling what the Thing is or who might be the Thing, but it intrigues the audience of what The Thing is all about. The creature's harrowing yell at the end of the trailer is enough to chill and thrill anybody, including yours truly.
