Born from the collective anticipation and dread of countless midnight movie audiences, the Trailer Wraith first manifested in abandoned drive-in theaters where promotional reels played endlessly to empty lots. It feeds on the electric tension between 'coming soon' promises and horrific revelations, growing stronger with each preview that leaves viewers desperate for more.
The Trailer Wraith exists as a constantly shifting amalgamation of flickering film strips and preview footage, its form never quite solid as scenes from different horror subgenres bleed through its translucent body. It emits the distinctive mechanical whir of vintage film projectors and the distant echoes of dramatic narrator voices proclaiming 'In a world where...' The entity can project preview scenes onto any surface, creating spontaneous movie trailer experiences that adapt to each venue's specific horror theme while maintaining the classic grindhouse aesthetic.
The Trailer Wraith serves as the supernatural bridge connecting all Horror Hall of Fame venues, appearing at each league to generate anticipation for the horror experience ahead while weaving narrative threads between different subgenres. It ensures that players understand their current horror scenario is part of a larger grindhouse festival experience.
