History NightmareFuel / AQuietPlace

* When Regan is in the corn field, one of the monsters slowly emerges behind her. There is no sound. . . .it's just there.

* [[http://www.impawards.com/2018/quiet_place_ver2.html Another poster]], which consists literally nothing but Creator/EmilyBlunt’s terrified face...with claw marks scratched on it [[RedIsViolent and the entire thing drenched in red]]. What really makes it creepy is the tagline.

With sound being an everyday part of life and what the monsters in ''A Quiet Place'' are capable of, it goes without saying. "If they hear you, they will hunt you" is the entire movie in a nutshell, after all.

* Even [[http://www.impawards.com/2018/quiet_place.html the poster]] is unnerving, showing the shot from the first teaser of the woman hiding in the bathroom... and a shadow lurking just outside... It's even worse in context. The mother goes into labor in said bathtub, trying with all her might not to scream, with ''the creatures in '''[[ParanoiaFuel the same room]]'''''. Once they leave, she can finally yelp in pain, and it's bloodcurling.

* [[https://youtu.be/P8Q6ma2sfJQ The entire Super Bowl TV spot]].
** In the very beginning of the ad where the mother is looking at the news, it’s heavily implied the monster is just one of what seems to be an invading alien force that, judging from the lack of people afterwards, have taken over the world. [[ShockingMoments Shocking]] doesn’t begin to describe it.

** There was a dash board at the beginning at the right side doing an analysis of the creatures: weaknesses, motives, behavior, their attraction to sound and so forth. This also leads to disturbing implications in that the “attack in packs?” suggestion is ''circled'' like a confirmation, and how many there actually are. Likewise, the words WHY DON'T THEY EAT THEIR KILL, and the fact that we never do learn the answer.

--> Rule 1: [[ItsQuietTooQuiet Don’t make a sound]].

* According to Lee's board, there are only ''five'' of the aliens in the area. Just five of them completely cleared the entire town and surrounding area of all human life. And that's just a sampling of their invincibility: an unknown quantity of them, but probably not very many, defeated the United States military and are implied to have wiped out most of the life on Earth. And with everything known about them--their hearing, their armor plating, their [[TheNeedless needlessness]]--this all makes ''perfect sense''. It's entirely plausible that if creatures like this did exist, they actually ''would'' decimate the planet.

%% Do not add FridgeHorror. It goes on the Fridge page, not here.

* The family has to live in near total silence out of fear that a monster that is attracted to sound will attack them if they make any noise. Judging by the size of the claw marks on the side of the wall (pictured on the right), their fear isn't baseless.

* Towards the end of the teaser, one of the kids is [[AdultFear being chased by the monster through a cornfield]], looking in terror over her shoulder for it... [[NothingIsScarier and seeing nothing]].

** The final scene of the trailer shows the two children scared and alone in a silo as the door on the roof starts creeping open. The kids look around fearfully, unable to figure out the monster's location... and then it drops down right behind the girl and roars. Cue SmashCut. AdultFear personified.

When sound is a everyday part of our lives and what the monsters are capable of, it goes without saying. If they hear you, they hunt you.

A Quiet Place is one of the scariest movies ever released by Paramount.

* According to Lee's board, there are only ''three'' of the aliens in the area. Just three of them completely cleared the entire town and surrounding area of all human life.
