Answers

  1. C. Alien (1979) – Iconic tagline from the film’s poster promoting its isolation in space terror. Others are space horrors with different premises.

  3. D. The Fly (1986) – David Cronenberg’s remake used this chilling warning of mutation horror. Earlier Fly and body horrors have distinct taglines.

  13. C. Friday the 13th (1980) – Camp slasher origin hinting at Jason’s return. Sequels build on the date without this homecoming.
  14. C. Halloween (1978) – Michael Myers’ return after 15 years tagline. Sequels and reboots reference it but vary.
  15. D. When a Stranger Calls (1979) – Babysitter phone terror classic. Modern phone horrors like The Ring twist calls differently.
  16. D. The Omen (1976) – Antichrist birth omen tying to 666. Rosemary’s Baby has pregnancy devil pacts instead.
