awesome movie poster friday – the MORE CRAP I BOUGHT ON VHS edition!
December 4th, 2009 — awesome movie poster friday, do what I tell you to do, From The Feeds, jerks, VHS rules
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 — awesome movie poster friday, From The Feeds
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 — awesome movie poster friday, friday the 13th, From The Feeds
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 trulyoutrageous awesome.

awesome movie poster friday – the SILENT HILL edition!
November 6th, 2009 — awesome movie poster friday, From The Feeds, 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!

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!

I can't believe it's taken me so long to give a shout out to Halloween I-III. No remakes need apply!

awesome movie poster friday – the PUBLIC DOMAIN edition!
September 25th, 2009 — awesome movie poster friday, From The Feeds, people are really fucking weird, Zombies
Man, there's some good horror out there in the public domain. Despite the fact that these films are available online for free or on DVD in your local dollar store for...umm...a dollar, most of them have gotten the deluxe super fancy-pants treatment as well, such as the Criterion Collection edition of Carnival of Souls. Yeah, free is awesome, but these films below are important pieces of cinema history, so don't skimp, ya cheapo!
There are really some wacked-out posters for Night of the Living Dead in the world. What's up with the German on featuring Jesus as a hairless werewolf? And the Italian poster that seems to credit the director as George A Kramer...?! Boy oh boy, I tell ya...something something something.

September 18th, 2009 — awesome movie poster friday, From The Feeds
In honor of the crapfest known as The Demons of Ludlow, which did not, in fact, feature a giant disembodied hand cruising around town- though I certainly wish it did...
The Demons, incidentally, is a Jess Franco film. The image is typically subtle!

awesome movie poster friday – the SOMETHING OF SOMEONE edition!
September 11th, 2009 — awesome movie poster friday, From The Feeds
Ah, one of my favorite trends from the 1970s, wherein the title of the horror film lets us know that someone has experienced something! The tradition was resurrected recently withthe remake of The Initiation of Sarah and The Haunting of Molly Hartley, but I have no idea whether or not they're any good. I've yet to see 'em, and no one really talked about them.
In related news, I wish The Haunting of Julia would get a GD DVD release already.
