Horror films often deal with the viewer's nightmares, hidden fears, revulsion and terror of the unknown. Plots within the horror genre often involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or personage, commonly of supernatural origin, into the everyday world. Prevalent elements include ghosts, aliens, vampires, werewolves, demons, dragons, gore, torture, vicious animals, evil witches, monsters, zombies, cannibals, and serial killers.Zombies are fictional creatures usually portrayed as reanimated corpses or viral infected human beings. They are commonly enacted as cannibalistic in nature. While zombie films generally fall into the horror genre, some cross over into other genres, such as comedy, science fiction, thriller, or romance. Distinct sub-genres have evolved, such as the "zombie comedy" or the "zombie apocalypse". Zombies are distinct from ghosts, ghouls, mummies, or vampires, so this list does not include films devoted to these types of undead.
Victor Halperin's White Zombie was released in 1932 and is often cited to be the first zombie film.
We used this information for the bass of our trailer, so we knew what to include to make sure that audience members would be able to identify accurately the genre and sub-genre that we have tried to portray and relate to them, enjoying our trailer.
