I couldn`t think of one until I saw the Chucky post and remembered Chucky 2’s “Sorry Jack, Chucky’s Back!”
For some reason I can’t get that sad jack in the box outta my head from the cover of the movie as Chucky`s about the cut off his head with scissors.

Halloween III: “The night no one comes home.” Worked really well with the image of trick-or-treating kids in silouette, all stretched out from being squeezed into a TV commercial aspect ratio.

Of course, many would say that the movie itself was a letdown. Many would be wrong.

Pieces had two taglines, both of which were great:

“You Don’t Have To Go To Texas For A Chainsaw Massacre” and “Pieces…It’s Exactly What You Think It Is.”

I’m also partial to The Funhouse’s “Pay to get in…Pray to get out”

Easily my favorite is 1984’s The Prey, and here it is:

“It’s not human, and it’s got an axe!”

Since a couple folks mentioned the Child’s Play series, I’ll add my favorite of those: “Deliver us some evil” from Seed of Chucky.

That Prey tagline suckered me as a kid. I think it’s an even greater achievement when a great tagline can sell a fucking horrible movie.

I totally forgot to include one of my all-time favorites - “By Pick, By Axe, By Sword. Bye-Bye.” from The Multilator!
