We lived for the old old movie trailers in the days when
movies meant cinemas, popcorn, and the big hollow sound, with the
cutie a few rows over, some noisy people, those who slept, and
a cartoon feature. That was real entertainment, and something to
look forward to. Those old movie trailers can still be found on
auction houses, among other places, and in specialty stores.
Nobody knows when the first movie trailer was invented, but we
know they were in text format. They appeared after the silent movies that
held audiences spellbound.
As time went by, the old movie trailers became the means
why which moviegoers were inspired to return to catch the next
greatest flick. In the 1940s they became creatively inspired, and in
two decades, they were at the focus of the theatre's marketing
campaign.
Today, trailers have their own big event, known as the Golden Trailer Awards
that are handed out to the best of the best annually.
