the US advance teaser for dawn of the dead is esily the best of the crop of posters for that film,the uk version had a scary girl on the poster,which had parents up in arms in the uk for giving children nightmares.
well at last that poster achieved something good!

Just FYI most poster in the 70,s where done by the studios marketing team. Now they are done by out side design firms or in house house graphics. Still the studios have final say in most cases. Lately alot of directors have last say such as the Matrix franchise. Though it’s still cool to see the differences.

They released a new Halloween (2007) poster and though it does not live up to the iconic original, and though it isn’t very creepy, you have to give it credit for having a lot to look at, definitely not a boring poster.

So true about the tagline typeface.

I did The Hills Have Eyes comparison back when the second movie opened in March.

Wasn’t there another “Fog” poster- the one with a panic attacked Adrianne Barbadeau against the lighthouse door?

Amityville: when the tagline is beigger typeface than the title, it’s no wonder the 1979 film stunk. I’m also in the minority who liked the remake.

Where’s the comparison to Hills Have Eyes, though? Or fo that matter, Hills Have Eyes II?
