Here's one that really gets its message across:

When I was a kid, the original Phantasm poster scared the SHIT out of me!

I've always been mildly obsessed with Polish movie posters in general, but the horror ones are some of the best:

That's Rosemary's Baby and Aliens, respectively.

And then there are some African (Nigeria and Ghana in particular, it seems) horror posters that are the other end of baffling (Thanks Ferox for turning me on to these). I don't even know what's going on:

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IATbMT_QRG...s1600/Cujo.jpg

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XHILwf1eid...Ghost+SHip.JPG

I'd recommend a deep Google Image search on both of these; there's lots of insane, amazing stuff out there.

Cujo looks so friendly!

Some of these are for movies I haven't seen yet (most obviously the second one).

Yes, I always thought that was a stark, powerful and beautiful poster design.

The Italian posters have some wonderful art.

I absolutely love movie posters. I wish my wife would let me wallpaper the entire house with them.

Fortunato, those Polish ones are insane.

Lately I've been into alternative movie posters, which are essentially either fan art or commissioned art for events or sale. http://www.mondoarchive.com/ is a site that sells these, although almost all the posters are sold out.

Here are some that I've collected from Google images and use as rotating desktop wallpaper on my computer.

Since we can only post 5 at a time, I'll start with a set by artist Ken Taylor.

Those are fantastic! I especially like the Halloween, Beatlejuice and Poltergeist.

Thanks Sculpt, I like those too. The Halloween one really has a foreboding feeling to it.

Here's a set of various artists doing The Shining.

I love that Iron Jaiden one... it's reminiscent of 1970s book illustrations.

Yeah, that one's creepy and I like the style. Here are a couple more for The Shining.

Here are three posters I really liked. Other people may have posted them, but I will post them again.:

I like this one too:

I believe this is an alternative poster, by Olly Moss, once sold by Mondo. He's got a cool style. Here are a couple others by him.

Here are couple more by Iron Jaiden, since Sicknero liked his poster for The Shining.

Wow! Image fail on my part. Can't get it to upload so here is the link.

https://www.google.com/search?q=chri...no%3B580%3B856

I think you have to copy the image URL of the picture you want to upload, then in the comments panel click the insert picture (it is two mountains with a square sun) button. Then delete anything already written in the box that comes up and paste the URL. At least that is how I get it to work. It took me a while to figure it out the first time.

This really cracked me up!

It's an excellent concept and design! I think the rug is what gets me to laugh (in contrast to the axe wielding Jack).

I wonder if the design would have been even better with the "N" door having a larger, more jagged crack, which would make both the "N" and reference more pronounced, and I think more visually interesting. I love subtlety, but not for subtleties sake; plus a the movie poster medium favors immediate visual realization (even if it's subconscious, it's easily visually captured).

Would also be interesting with the "N" being the elevator doors opening, with the blood splurge creating the "N" triangles. But then you'd lose the axe connection.


The skull maze, typed page, and wolf in the map, are great ideas and designs! It'd be interesting to see the maze (of the skull maze) match the carpet design more inside the skull, and then have the skull look more evil and deranged. I like the figure in the maze, but might as well make it more related and menacing by either giving it an axe, or put it in the ending frozen pose.

I might be forgetting something, but I'm not getting the subtle reference with the N door. I figured it was a reference the the door to room 237 which isn't all that subtle. The fact that the N is backwards makes me think of the backwards R in REDRUM, but that's not terribly obvious. Are you thinking it might be a reference to the chopped down door and "Here's Johnny" moment? (I guess because of the crack, although I'm not seeing the crack.)

Yeah I love that carpet design. Such a great scene with Danny on the Big Wheel. Brilliant choice by Kubrick to take advantage of the environment he's filming in.

Maybe it's dyslexia, but I didn't even notice the N was backwards.

Yes, I thought the black triangle at the top left was the chopped "Here's Johnny" door. Now that you mention it, I think you're right; I don't think that was his intention at all. But it should have been. = ) My mind tends to see a lot of interlacing references in things. Sometimes more than was intended (obviously). But it helps me make my radio show.

Funny the N is backwards, cause now it matches the Here's Johnny chopped out of the door. Your guess at the N being backwards due to redrum is probably right.

I thought I'd post a few more alternative movie posters. These are by Alex Pardee.

Ones above very underground comic book like.

I always thought these were impressive:

I thought V might appreciate this one. V for Vendetta, by César Moreno.

Superb. The detailing and the subtle-mask reference is brilliant!

Thanks for sharing, GF.
