What was this movie trailer that played before What We Do in the Shadows?
My girlfriend saw the movie and claims there was a horror movie trailer that played that she can't remember the name of. Here is her description: it was like really dark, and the main character either a boy or a girl... Only a child if it was a boy... Was in a tunnel. It was artsy and there was something related to bugs or wings or something. There may not have been. Possibly.
Please help as I am dangerously close to reenacting scenes from the shining based on that description. We have looked at popular trailers for 2015 movies and found nothing. This was at the drafthouse in Austin in probably March.

Response by poster: Sadly nope. It fit her qualifications. She doesn't think it had any actors she knew and she's pretty into movies.

When I saw that one of the trailers was for White God. I actually also remember a scene in a tunnel, except they were dogs, not bugs.

Long odds, but: Girl Walks Home Alone At Night?

Does she remember whether this was a current trailer or part of the Alamo pre-show? If it was a trailer for a current (probably 2015) movie, that should narrow it down. But if it was part of the 30-minute clip compilation that the Alamo Drafthouse puts together for screening before a specific film (which quite often includes movie trailers), it could be for a film from any year. If she thinks it could have been part of the Alamo pre-show, I'd suggest reaching out to the Drafthouse on Twitter or Facebook with the question. She might try @alamogreg, for instance, since he's listed as a "Key Player" in video editing and thus I'll bet he has something to do with putting together the pre-show reels.

Response by poster: So far none of these were it, but I'm asking the Drafthouse. Great suggestions so far, I really thought it would be A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night too!
