I still remember seeing the "egg" teaser trailer on TV when I was a kid.
I might have a little bias toward it, seeing as how Alien is still, by far, my favorite Sci-fi/horror film of all time, but I still remember getting chills and being full of amazement every time the trailer came on TV.
The sound editing on the trailer and the whole premise of "In space, no one can hear you scream!" was brilliant. I was SOLD!
Nowadays, movie trailers are simply "mini-versions" of the entire film including spoilers and seem to be just begging you to go see it.
Alien did it right.
