I absolutely love that "The Dead Walk" newspaper from Day of the Dead.

I'd like to find a full size poster replica and hang that up in my house.

I like the newspaper too, but I think the most striking image is the gas-mask silhouette. Elegant but creepy design.

Though, I gotta say, as always, Tai khun come through big with the air armada of severed hands. You don't see that every day.

How big a geek am I? I actually tried to read the newspaper poster. Now I want to make my own zombie movie just so I can make a poster just like that.

First one looks like it's a Star Wars poster...

And "Knightriders"...I think they stole the idea for an episode of "V.I.P.".

I'm with Walsh,

I love the severed-hands poster. Reminds me of the flock of birds attacking Tippi Hedren....macabre yet symbolically true...

the first one, the star wars-y one is fuckin brilliant! The hands bursting through the wall, Day of the Dead one is really good fun - i'd see that movie! (hang on - i did see that movie)... and the Martin, made in the usa poster is genius (reflecting teh genius that is Martin the movie, too)

I have to agree with everyone else-- that Day Of The Dead poster is all kinds of awesome. THIS is what horror movie art is all about. Hell, I just love Day Of The Dead. Lori Cardille and Joe Pilato "rock my face off," in the inimitable words of Stacie Ponder.

Oh Snap, I forgot that Romero did Knightriders. I've never seen that.

Where's the Creepshow?

Matt said...

I vote for the gas mask, if we are voting
