movie posters or covers

[leezuki]

what were some of your fave movie covers, i used to take a chance when i was young just on the covers of movies, some of the pictures were better than the movies but then sometimes i used to find some good movies that way.

I remember seeing this in a video store when I was a teenager back in 1984. It made quite an impression on me at the time.

Last Year at Marienbad is a cool picture, thanx for the address.

Colour Me Blood Red's a HG Lewis film.

That picture right there, is pretty much the most explicit part of the film in terms of gore. Basically, the guy is squeezing a woman's intestine so blood comes out, which he can use as paint. Not exactly medically accurate...but...

Favourite posters...I do like the Into The Void poster as well. I've never seen the film, but I remember seeing the poster about a year ago and it intrigued me.

I’m a fan of Drew Struzan’s poster work. He’s also done some pretty decent album covers.

i like enter the void poster, when i first saw it i was hypnotised by it, i thought the movie would prob be boring but i loved the movie, one of my all time fave now. i dont think the movie would be for everyone tho.

Elvis - did you know that they shot different scenes for some parts of that film. I had a copy of when they are 'auditioning' new talent in the club. The bit with the new hooker was shot with her naked and with clothes on. The original Brit release had the former (as well as really cut).

Nope I didn't know that. My old VHS copy has the naked scene although I believe it's trimmed in other places. It had a R20 rating at one point haha I saw it when I was about 9 or 10 years old along with the heavily edited version of Savage Streets :D

I've always really liked Class Of 1999.

[realdealblues]

The standard poster but I always liked it:
http://goregirl.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/gates-of-hell.jpg

I rented this one based on the video box cover when I was a kid. I was expecting something like Friday The 13th...boy was I ever wrong. It's now a running joke with me and I've grown to love it but I was pretty much like wtf? when I first saw it.
http://horror.mdv.se/1971%20-%20Blood%20Shack%20(Poster).jpg

Another I rented as a kid thinking it would be along the same lines. Again...way off, but again it's now a running joke between me and my buddies and we dig it out once in a while to laugh and drink some beers.

Oh yeah, that was a huge part of the VHS days especially. And it's also what got a lot of movies banned during the Video Nasty craze. Some of them were really nuts:

Wow, I adore that Friday the 13th one. The Superman Returns one is quite cool as well (even though I thought that movie was an hour too long).

I worked at a video store in my late teens and early 20's and this Predator 2 VHS cover always caught my eye. It works so well - especially considering how mediocre that movie is. I've always wanted a poster of it but I don't think they make it in poster form.

There's a book I picked up off Amazon not too long ago called Portable Grindhouse: The Lost Art of the VHS Box which brought back so many great memories of browsing through the video rental store as a kid. It's all just nostalgia, but I miss those crappy VHS covers, the crappy VHS tapes with totally blown out colors and borderline-unwatchable dark/indoor scenes. As much as I love BD, every once in a while I have a hankering to watch a VHS of Street Trash or Intruder with the lights out and a big 'ole bucket of popcorn.
