!!Pre-Release
* The First trailer is no doubt the scariest:
** The supposed hospital that the the New Mutants are stuck in gives off a creepy abandoned haunted house vibe.
** Sam Guthrie goes to investigate something moving in a dryer when a burning hand comes into frame.
** Illyana and Sam stumble upon a little girl's room ... and a man with a smiley face mask. The camera cuts away before we can see his face, but from Illyana and Sam's reactions, it is not a pretty sight.
*** In a new tease, it unmasks itself to be a monster with no eyes and a terrifying SlasherSmile, and it looks like the lovechild of [[Characters/CryptTV Look-See]] and [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]].
** The last shot we see is of Dani strapped down to a table with a medical gas mask on. The last thing we hear is Dani screaming her lungs out.
** A face forms in the walls a la ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet''. Good thing it turns out to be a MissingTrailerScene.
** The pan across the rows upon rows of gravestones, all bearing nothing but numbers, implying that not only have scores of mutants died there, but that their "caretakers" are so callous, they don't even see them as people.
** We see Cecilia injured with severe claw marks on her face. Although it turns out to be a good thing in the actual movie.
* In the second trailer, we get a glimpse of the Demon Bear and it's utterly terrifying.
** Furthermore, said trailer begins with snowflakes falling from an unseen point into Dani's room. She catches a few ... only for the snowflakes to turn into droplets of blood when she catches a few with her fingers.
** Again in the second trailer: Rahne sits alone in a church confession booth. A few seconds later, the Demon Bear is tearing into everything, cornering the poor girl as she screams and cries for her life.
** How about that shot in the second trailer where Roberto says that he burned his girlfriend as a shot plays with him in a pool with his girlfriend's burnt and skeletal arm crawling up his back?

* Villain or not, Cecilia's death is pretty gruesome. The Demon Bear's gigantic head bursts through a wall, grabs her and shakes and bites down on her, all the while she's screaming, until she slides out of its mouth to the ground below. We can then hear the bear EATING her.
