awesome movie poster friday – the 2008 edition, part three!

March 5th, 2010 — From The Feeds, awesome movie poster friday

What, you thought the 2008 edition would end after installment #1? Or #2? Not so, friendos! What can I say- 2008 was a pretty stellar year for horror.

Okay, so the truth is, I've yet to see Cold Prey 2. I really dug the first one though, so I'm going to assume that I'd like the second one just as much. Sequels are always as good as the originals, right?

Of note: on the first poster for The Broken, Lena Headey's name is spelled wrong. No one caught that??

Still wrapping my head around Martyrs, trying to figure out what I'll say when I finally write about it.

awesome movie poster friday – the 2008 edition, part one!

February 19th, 2010 — From The Feeds, awesome movie poster friday

You know, 2008 was a rather good year for horror. It really was. I'm sure that 20 years from now, I'll be blogging about it much the way that I currently write about 1977 and 1981. I'll try to convince all the kids born in 2012 (assuming the world doesn't end that year) that horror movies were really something back in aught eight. I'll start by linking to this post, highlighting just one of the quality films put out that year. Then I'll link to my October 2010 post about the remake, how maybe if it was simply another adaptation of the source novel that would be one thing, but remaking the movie was a bad idea, and how changing the title from Let the Right One In to Let Me In changes everything.

Or maybe I'll link to my October 2010 post about how I was reticent about remaking such a fine film so soon and how it was unnecessary and how the title swap changed everything, but then I was surprised at how much I loved the new version. Hey, it could happen. No fate!

awesome movie poster friday – the FILM CLUB edition!

January 29th, 2010 — From The Feeds, awesome movie poster friday

This week is so Final Girl Film Club Week, what with our write-ups on Black Sabbath and me picking the next movie for us to love, hate, dissect, and ignore. It feels only appropriate, then, to traipse down memory lane by revisiting some Film Club choices of yore. Click ze links to read ze reviews...if you've got the guts.

The Wicker Man

I love love LOVE that there's a poster for The Wicker Man featuring Britt Ekland's naked slap dance.

Prince of Darkness

Near Dark

The Italian poster for Near Dark is so...Italian horror movie poster, if you know what I mean- and I think you do.

The Innocents

The Hand

The Burning

awesome movie poster friday – the JESS FRANCO edition!

December 18th, 2009 — From The Feeds, awesome movie poster friday

Considering the ongoing debate over the merits of the films of Jess Franco (aka Joan Almirall, Rosa Maria Almirall, Clifford Brawn, Clifford Brown (Jr.), Juan G. Cabral, Betty Carter, Candy Coster, Terry De Corsia, Rick Deconinck, Raymond Dubois, Chuck Evans, Toni Falt, Dennis Farnon, Jess Franck, Jesús Franco, Adolf M. Frank, Anton Martin Frank, Jeff Frank, Wolfgang Frank, Manfred Gregor, Jack Griffin, Robert Griffin, Lennie Hayden, Frank Hollman, Rick Deconinck, B.F. Johnson, James Lee Johnson, David J. Khune, Lulu Laverne, Franco Manera, Jesús Manera, Jeff Manner, Roland Marceignac, A.L. Mariaux, John O'Hara, Preston Quaid, P. Querut, Lowel Richmond, Dan L. Simon, Dave Tough, Pablo Villa, Joan Vincent, and Robert Zinnermann), an AMPF tribute seemed only fitting. Notable notes:

1) That one Dracula vs Frankenstein poster is so blatant in its ripping-off of Universal.

2) I need to see The Bloody Judge.

3) I, too, am going to use the alias "Lulu Laverne".

4) Lina Romay.

awesome movie poster friday – the MORE CRAP I BOUGHT ON VHS edition!

December 4th, 2009 — From The Feeds, VHS rules, awesome movie poster friday, do what I tell you to do, jerks

Man, I tells ya. My friend Eric runs Spudic's Movie Empire and it's a VHS lovers paradise! I can't resist his $1 sales- I walk out with a boxful everytime. If you live in the Los Angeles area and you love BROWSING- and let's face it, only jerks don't love browsing- you owe yourself a trip. He does mail order too, so you have no excuses. NONE I SAY.

AnyIhavetoomanymovies, you can see that on my last trip I got a fucking great haul. Monsters ahoy! My favorite poster is the first one, the Deep Rising poster that calls the special effects team the "Special Effects Team". Why the quotes? Does that mean the FX were done by, like, the director's mom and her quilting club? 'Cause if that's the case, now I wanna see it even more!

awesome movie poster friday – the DON’T edition!

November 20th, 2009 — From The Feeds, awesome movie poster friday

Some of these "posters" are VHS covers, but they were just crying out to be included. I didn't want their heartbreak on my conscience, so there they are.

Looking at these, I realize I've only seen Don't Look Now and Don't Go in the Woods...Alone!; I've thought about picking up Don't Answer the Phone!, but...mehhh. No one's ever given it a ringing endorsement so I always pass it by.

See what I did there? "Ringing" endorsement? For the movie about a PHONE? Get it? Phone? Ring...ing...? Merrrrrr.

I will say that the odd Val Kilmer-Jeff Bridges love child sitting haughtily in drag has intrigued me enough so that I may seek out Don't Go in the House.

For what it's worth, I think my favorite poster here is for Don't Go in the Woods...Alone!- man, it's the mirrored aviator glasses that do it. What's even better is that she's actually in the film- along with hikers on roller skates, hikers in wheelchairs...ahh. I read my review and now I want to watch it again, even though I know it's terrible, terrible.

awesome movie poster friday – the FRIDAY THE 13th edition, PART TWO!

November 13th, 2009 — From The Feeds, awesome movie poster friday, friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! Hooray. As I'd already done a Friday-flavored Awesome Movie Poster Friday, I wasn't hopeful that there'd be much more material out there for me to mine. Ha HA, I laugh in my own face. There's plenty of Voorhees weirdness all the world 'round! And I do mean weird...some of this stuff...I just don't get it.

While I truly despised the recent remake, I will say the posters associated with it are truly ~~outrageous~~ awesome.

awesome movie poster friday – the SILENT HILL edition!

November 6th, 2009 — From The Feeds, awesome movie poster friday, silent hill

Man, I loves me some Silent Hill. Of course I'm totally cuckoo nutso for the games, but I thought the movie was pretty damn good, too. The acting isn't always great and the dialogue is frequently...not good, but the visuals are pretty kick ass. I do hope the sequel, which is currently flopping around in development hell, sees the light of day. If it were me, I'd base that shit on the second game in the series, which has a lot of cinematic potential. In fact, I'm willing to volunteer for the job of writing it! I've volunteered before, and quite frankly I'm shocked that no one has asked me to get cracking yet. It seems so odd to me that "Hollywood" doesn't read my blog and hasn't yet decided to hand a multi-million dollar property over to someone who's passionate yet completely unproven. Come on, people...it would be the heartwarming story of the year!

awesome movie poster friday – the SHOCKTOBER PART 1 edition!

October 16th, 2009 — From The Feeds, SHOCKTOBER, awesome movie poster friday

Things, as SHOCKTOBER continues apace:

To see the posters for Audrey Rose, getcher archive on and check out the Crap I Bought on VHS Recently edition.
For Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? posters, go back in time and visit the Hag Horror edition.
All those bitchin' posters are really making me want to watch Dracula A.D. 1972 again! In particular, the Italian poster with all the bikini-clad girls is just gorge. And why don't theaters feature "horrorituals" anymore? Let's bring 'em back! I want an honorary membership card.
The poster for the Americanized titling of Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, Don't Open the Window, is one of the worst posters I've ever seen. It has nothing to do with the plot, and it's completely misleading- who are those people featured in the photos? Chloe Sevigny and Shelley Winters? Whoever they are, they're not in the film. And way to rip off the tag line from Last House on the Left, right down to lifting the graphic from that movie's poster!
