In fact, two of these posters are "spoilers": PSYCHO & ALIEN would have been poor choices for the original runs.<br /><br />My favorites: <br />ALIEN - innocous symbolism transformed to horror.<br />SHINING - makes me not care what the movie is about, I just HAVE to see it. Great translation of decades of Eisner's SPIRIT logos.<br />JAWS - would have worked then, works now. Perfect mood piece.<br />HALLOWEEN - grindhouse rework. Spot on!<br /><br />These missed the mark:<br />DRAG ME TO HELL - hohum.<br />NOTLD - sorry, but that's been done already.<br />EVIL DEAD - nice, but an unnecessary replacement of an iconic poster.<br />THING (flamethrower) - too "comics"<br />PSYCHO - conventional.<br /><br />The quality of the graphic work is uniformly tops.docvoltagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12039780040424364374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-4363221277245881062011-05-27T04:03:42.711-04:002011-05-27T04:03:42.711-04:00I'm in love with the Carrie poster.

If I hadn't watched Carrie or The Shining or Psycho, I'm not sure I'd be very interested in seeing them just from these posters.<br /><br />Granted, some of the original posters would make me even less likely to see the movie (I'm looking at you, bulgy-eyed kid and electric yellow text The Shining).StrangeFleshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-60893029824432887402011-05-22T23:46:44.276-04:002011-05-22T23:46:44.276-04:00The Carrie poster is so, so awesome!The Carrie poster is so, so awesome!Evol Kweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358540740207597037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-72871842588591896582011-05-21T00:18:13.297-04:002011-05-21T00:18:13.297-04:00Amazing stuff.Amazing stuff.Kmorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682210985833840453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-15392034610655044302011-05-20T20:12:32.957-04:002011-05-20T20:12:32.957-04:00All of these are awesome.
