Yeah, that's what you paid for
With skills much sharper than a Texas chainsaw

Hard copy movie passes are something of a rarity in these days of e-mail and subcutaneous studio tracking chips. Personally, I don't really have much of a preference either way. Printed passes can be of assistance when trying to talk your way past skeptical ticket takers, but an RSVP via e-mail is usually good for a guaranteed reserved seat.
After seeing this one for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning however, I may have swung my vote permanently over to the e-ticket:
I'm trying to remember an honest-to-Gunnar Hansen marketing tie-in with a horror movie (and not a "horror" movie like Snakes on a Plane or Seed of Chucky) but I'm coming up blank. And Spencer's? Any dwindling hopes I might have had for this movie are in danger of guttering out in the face of this blatant pandering to the goth crowd.[1] "Leatherface gear?" Cripes.
[1] Not that there were many remaining after finding out Michael Bay was one of the producers, it was directed by the guy who helmed Darkness Falls, and written by the guy who gave us last year's Longest Yard remake, that is.

While not representative of what you meant about tie-ins proper, the late 80s turned child-molester-slash-serial-killer-slash-undead-ghoul Freddy Krueger into a kid-friendly money machine.
While the dolls and board games were bad enough (or good enough for the WHOLE family to enjoy!), nothing beat Freddy and the Elm Street Group’s lp, Freddy’s Greatest Hits.
(And, yes…I DO own a copy. It taught me how, as the song goes, to “Do the Freddy.”)
