(See the continue reading link for the poster, because having it load on the front page was way too distracting) This “motion poster” was pretty effective when I saw it the first time. Caught me by surprise, grabbed my attention, and made me feel pretty disgusted. Pretty decent combo for a horror movie. And obviously [...]

Well, this is about the most boring, most literal poster they could have cooked up for this movie. A scary house on a hill. Yeah, we had never seen anything like that before. Now, compare it to the grindhouse goodness of the original: Now, I didn’t actually expect them to go with something like this. [...]

I have to grudgingly admit that I like the poster campaign for the new Friday the 13th. Sure, it is very heavy on nostalgia. Instead of trying to create something new that was specific to this movie they settled for using images and concepts that the earlier films made famous, only more polished and thus [...]

“This Spring, even the snow is dead.” Dead Snow comes, of course, from Norway, where historically snow has played a large role on Nazi Zombie movies. However the above, recently released poster is not the Norwegian original. These are the Norwegian originals: Quite a striking difference isn’t it? The international poster is gory, but rather [...]

100 Illustrated Horror Film Posters: Part 1, and Part 2. Some truly stunning, every one of them worth at least a quick look. I’m especially fond of this type of poster. When I was young they fascinated me and got my imagination going like few other things. As I got older and got to see [...]

I guess the idea of this poster is to draw attention to the 3D effect but still produce a creepy poster that feels like the poster for a serious horror movie. I like the idea, but I’m not sure the execution works all that well. The 3D aspect is much more muted than it was [...]

Ok, am I going crazy? Are we suddenly back in the 80′s? I mean, a poster for a 3D horror movie featuring the killer’s weapon bursting through the screen? Really? Sure, the production values are now much better. But the cheese is still equally (or even more) strong. Not that I’m not tickled by it, [...]

Kurt from RowThree was nice enough to point me over to this poster made by artist Jeff Kleinsmith for a special Alamo Drafthouse screening. If you are quick you can also buy it from MondoTees. Normal posters have to sell to you a movie you have never seen, often without showing too much so as [...]

This poster might very well not be an official poster, but is that reason enought not to post it? I say no. A half angel, half demon statue might be an overly literal visual representation of a movie called Angels & Demons, but you know what? I don’t really care. It works. And the background [...]

SAW V, from France. The french are apparently traditionalists and thought the other poster was just too different. And since we are talking about different (and about SAW) here is a poster for REPO! The Gentic Opera. Much more interesting, with a clear style that you can also see in other materials for the movie. [...]
