My favourite horror trailer

This is one of my favourite horror movie trailers.  The reasoning for this is that the special effects look really well done especially for the time it was made (1984).  It keeps the viewer alert throughout the trailer with lots of cuts keeping their attention and making them want to watch the movie. It also uses continuity editing showing the audience small previews of how the story line unfolds except the conclusion.  The shots where the teenagers were getting murdered in their sleep looked awry and mysterious.  People wanted to know how this was happening which meant they had to watch the movie.  The special effects are pulled off well to, like the girl who was levitating on the ceiling.  It was hard to tell if there was anything suspending her at least at first glance which is what really matters.
