“Monsters do exist; in us and among us. They walk in our shadow. They can prey on us more as we fear them less. We should know. We created them.” --- George A. Romero

POSTER GALLERY 12

July 2nd 2008 06:03
Bit of a mixed bag this post. Yes, I’ll admit there are some ripe ones, including a poster to my very first Pleasure of Nightmares movie review which I thought was very disappointing. The poster’s good though: Silent Hill

Another dreadful movie is the remake of Day of the Dead. The poster’s quite good though. My tongue is lodged in my cheek though; Silent Night, Deadly Night. And I’m speaking in a foreign tongue too; Lo Squartatore Di New York (Lucio Fulci’s nasty New York Ripper).

There’s rare blood on display too; the original poster design for John Carpenter’s The Thing. There’s a couple of unknowns; In My Sleep and Bad Biology, and a dark gem from the silent era; Haxan (a doco about witchcraft).

Death Wish, The Thing, and Silent Night, Deadly Night are currently being remade. I wouldn’t be surprised if Blow Out gets done over some time soon. Okay, so Blow Out's a thriller, but it’s a nightmare psycho-thriller, and De Palma has a fake horror movie play at the start!

Yes, like I said, it’s very much a mixed bag, but hopefully a few bones everyone can chew on.

Haxan (1922)

Death Wish (1974)

Tourist Trap 1979

Blow Out 1981

The Thing (1982)

The New York Ripper (1982)

Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

Eerie stuff Bryn, the ones that really got me were Blow Out, Silent Night and In My Sleep...

Bad Biology?
From the director of Frankenhooker? I am sold already.

Haxan? I have never heard of this film.

Tourist Trap looks so 80's. I like it.

But the winner for me has to be The Thing poster.
