Recut movie trailers, also known as movie trailer remixes, became a cornerstone of internet culture in the mid-2000s, popularized by viral hits like 'Scary Mary' and 'The Shining' reimagined as a family drama. This format involves taking original film footage and applying creative editing, alternative soundtracks, and new voiceovers to completely subvert the film's intended genre. As a meme, it has evolved into a way to mock cinematic tropes or envision absurd 'what if' scenarios, such as turning a gritty action flick into a 90s sitcom. These memes highlight how music and pacing can entirely redefine a story's emotional impact, celebrating the art of context and creative reinterpretation.
