This was a fairly bad movie, but the poster does a nice job of hiding that fact. And here's the cover it got for VHS release.  It's a Pyun!

Went looking for more posters for VHS-era bad movies, and had a tough time finding any of appreciable size (although I did end up buying a copy of Remote Control's poster, which I guess I'll have to upload once it arrives); all I have tonight is this descent into blandness.

Another poster that promises something much better than the movie delivers: Although this version credits Rob Schneider, so that's a bit of a warning, at least. Then ended up amazed at how many  versions  of Surf Nazis Must Die  there were.  that last one doesn't really count, since it's a remake/homage you can pick up for $25 at skuzzles along with some other Troma property-inspired prints

Febreeze posted:Yeah, and that is probably the worst, or at least the most boring PF album cover.  On topic, it's always nice when a poster for a bad movie lets you know in no uncertain terms that it is a movie you should not see. For me, there's one poster which comes immediately to mind to fit that description.

As far as movies with plots that are basically 'we're going to have a party' go, I've always kind of liked House Party, and the poster isn't too bad. It has the main characters front and center (with tiny girls leaning on a Monopoly hotel) and the sources of conflict behind them. Also Martin Lawrence.  Overall, it succeeds by keeping it simple, and they're clearly in a house. And hey, it's available on videocassette and laserdisc! And even the Bombay Video version is recognizable as the same film! the best part of combing GIS for these was probably the appearance of an Eraserhead poster But by the second film, there began to be obvious signs of trouble.  you'll never guess what site I found this large, non-creased image on Pajamas appear, so kudos to the poster designer for that. Based on the larger number of tiny people attending this second House Party, it may have even been the same designer they used for the first. There was, of course, a third film.  Well, there's... the outline of a house! And Emmanuel Lewis as Bernie Mac! I guess they're at least trying to look energetic, the way you might be if you were having a House Party. But look at those girls behind them; angry, disinterested, dismissive, and... Carrot Top with his hair down. Could this be the last House Party poster with even a hint of effort? Yes.

The Triumphant posted:That poster should have been thrown in the garbage. Honestly, I think it's better than the 'normal' poster they used:  hey double tagline The tagline massacre version isn't as representative of the Christmas theme, I'll admit, but it has more of that classic horror poster feel. and less focus on an arm in a chimney Both are better than this embarrassment, though:  e: gently caress it, here's a good Christmas horror movie poster.  also known as Black Christmas Darthemed fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Mar 28, 2012 |

Went to see DKR, and the theater had Mondo posters for Sleepaway Camp, Gremlins, and Gremlins 2 hanging in the hallway. Gremlins 2 was the one that made me back-track for a second look, though. Also came across this French poster for Silent Scream, thought it had a good dynamic going on.

sambafish posted:That's a nice poster but it doesn't really hold a candle to the original. It actually reminds me a little of the poster for 'Deadly Friend': It's kind of impressive how little of the actual movie is represented in that poster. Then again, it would be a hard sell of a horror movie if people knew they'd be sitting through this sort of thing.

It's nice when a bad American poster can be improved overseas.  Even if it becomes much more boring in the process.

Last night, I threw on Darkman for some reason. It's definitely a mediocre film, but it does have a nice visual flair from time to time. The original film's poster is nice, even if it's riding the orange-and-blue a bit too hard.  And the teaser poster made decent use of what they'd eventually be using. But compared to this concept poster?  I dunno, something about the coloring and layout gives me kind of an Egyptian feel, which (I guess) ties in with his metaphorical death in the movie. The Japanese posters...   ...could be argued to be playing up the silent movie and Universal creature feature roots (e.g., Phantom of the Opera). Unfortunately, they also look kind of lazy. But then there's the sequels.  Why they glossed over Arnold Vosloo being in this, I can't say.  So generic it's almost classic. And hey! The guy from The Lawnmower Man is in it, so it must be great!

Once again, Netflix spurs a poster version comparison. I kind of like the basic Scrooged poster, even if Murray is playing it really big.  But I guess the region guys felt that the UK needed it made clear that this was a CHRISTMAS movie.  the bow-tie color change is what really gets me But then someone felt that wasn't spiffed up enough.  Which is all well and good, except the Japanese version still kills it.  if anyone can find a bigger copy of this one, please post it

Based on the first poster, try to figure out what the premise of the movie is. Once you've decided on a plot or gimmick, check out the second poster for the answer. is it just me, or was 'TIT' drawn before the rest of the graffiti?

Here's a few divergent approaches to representing the same movie. Certainly not influenced by Basic Instinct/Fatal Attraction.  more style than I'd associate with JCVD  Well, you know.
