Urban Legends

An urban legend is a story that has been told, but has not necessarily been believed by the teller. This can range from stories about crime to stories about horror. In the past plots of movies have been taken from urban legends, an example of this could be the exorcist. 'Bloody Mary' is also derived from an urban legend, where if you repeat the name seven times she will be 'summoned' from the dead and haunt you. I like the idea of being able to base the trailer on an urban legend as  could state that there is some truth behind it, or that it is based on a true story. I feel that this would provoke more of an reaction from the viewer and perhaps keep them talking about the film after the movie has ended.
