Saw VI - Alternative Movie Poster For Halloween by fauxster

Saw VI - Alternative Movie Poster For Halloween by fauxster

Artist’s Comments: Fauxster/teaser poster for the upcoming sixth installment in the “Saw” franchise, due in theaters Oct 23, 2009. Not the best of my work (I’m really not satisfied with how the gravestone came out), but I like the concept of an empty grave. I also kept the roman numeral sequel number in the same vein as “Saw V”.

Movie Posters - Horror Suspense Movies (35 HQ Pics)

A film poster is a poster used to advertise a film. There may be several versions for one film. It usually contains an image with text.

The text contains the film title and often the names of the main actors. It may also include a tag line, the name of the director, names of characters, the release date, etc.

Film posters are displayed inside and on the outside of movie theaters, and elsewhere on the street. The same image would appear in a film exhibitor’s pressbook and may also be used on websites, DVD-packaging, flyers, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, etc.

Use of such posters goes back to the earliest public exhibitions of film, where they began as outside placards listing the programme of (short) films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater.

By the early 1900s, they began to feature illustrations of a scene from each individual film or an array of overlaid images from several scenes.

Other movie posters have used artistic interpretations of a scene or even the theme of the film, represented in a wide variety of artistic styles. Movie posters are produced in a large number of sizes to meet various advertising needs. Read more …

Halloween Special: The 10 Most Pants-Wettingly Scary Movie Posters of the ’80s

Halloween Special: The 10 Most Pants-Wettingly Scary Movie Posters of the ’80s

Hard to believe in this day and age, but there was once a time when Blockbuster, Netflix and friggin’ DVD dispensers at McDonalds didn’t possess a stranglehold on the movie-rental market. With the VHS/VCR boom of the early ‘80s, mom n’ pop video stores—rental locations with instantly catchy names like Mega Video, Captain Video and Movies-4-Rent—became widespread as people clamored for home entertainment, and visiting one of these spots was an event. Most children of the ‘80s have incredibly vivid memories of hitting up a video store with the parents, along with the movie posters that plastered every inch of the wall.

These posters found ran the gamut from summer blockbusters (Ghostbusters! Indiana Jones!) to some pretty bizarre direct-to-video dreck (Michael Dudikoff Presents Action Adventure Theater: The Bronx Executioner?). But it was the posters for that era’s brand of horror flicks that truly stick out in our minds; many of them presented some gruesome, freakish imagery that weighed heavily on us after we’d left the store, and made for a shitty’s night’s sleep. The irony is that these flicks certainly weren’t classics of the genre; the majority sucked and weren’t even remotely scary! But their promotional materials were able to latch onto unique fears that 8-year-olds have. So with that in mind, here are 10 horror-flick posters from the mom n’ pop video store heyday that left us crawling under the covers with our actual Ma and Pa. Read more …

Death Jr. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and a Thing for Locked Boxes

Death Jr. is a video game for the PlayStation Portable. The PSP iteration was the very first PSP game ever shown publicly and advertised as a killer-app. It was released to fairly mediocre reviews and noted for numerous problems about the camera, gameplay and uninspiring graphics, but was praised for its Tim Burton-esque themes and quirky characters. The majority of those issues were corrected with the release of the Wii edition. Slightly more well-received was the comic book adaptation by Gary Whitta and Ted Naifeh, which includes two three-issue miniseries.

The game, movie, and comic book are about the teenage son of the Grim Reaper, named DJ. His father tried many times (all of them failed) to stop his son from creating chaos at every school he has been in. Now is DJ’s last chance. If he creates chaos one more time, he’ll be sent to military school. He meets his new friends at this school: Pandora, a girl with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and a thing for locked boxes; Stigmartha, a girl who bleeds from her hands whenever she’s nervous; Smith and Weston, conjoined twins who are very smart and conjoined at the head; The Seep, an armless, legless, foul-mouthed kid in a vat; and The Dead Guppy, a character who speaks for himself.

The friends go on a field trip to a museum, where they find a locked box that Pandora wants opened, so DJ opens it to impress her. Unfortunately, all hell breaks loose and demons run amok. It’s up to DJ to stop them, revert the town back to normal, all the while making sure dad doesn’t find out. Read more …

User Review
I had the pleasure of screening this film at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin with Uwe Boll in the audience to introduce and answer questions about the movie. This movie would have been good even without the explanations, but it sure didn’t hurt. All in all similar in spirit to the classic unkillable killer movies like Halloween and the later Friday the 13th movies, but Boll takes it in another direction. He has a point to all the gory depictions, but it gets a little lost along the way. All in all a great film if you’re a fan of serious gore. Basically if sick and twisted is your bag, you won’t be disappointed, but if you really want to be scared this movie just doesn’t deliver.

Scare 2 Die (Japanese) 2008, Poster, Plot Horror

Plot:

The prolific Pang Brothers have been behind a string of horror hits dating back to 2002’s critically-acclaimed The Eye - and there seems to be no stopping them. Six years later, people have yet to tire of Pang-produced horror, which is where Scare 2 Die comes in. Directed by the Pangs’ longtime assistant director Cub Chien, Scare 2 Die is an omnibus horror movie featuring three gory tales of supernatural discontent. Chien varies his approach in this commercial chiller, going for cultural frights, a gore-filled cautionary tale, and a spectacularly intense twenty-minute chase involving disembowelment, the living dead, and rising star Elanne Kwong (Invisible Target) swinging an axe. Joining Kwong in this trio of horror tales is the ubiquitous Sam Lee, as well as Pang Brothers veteran Lawrence Chou (The Eye), and Tommy Yuen of boy band E-kids.

Down-on-his-luck gambler Kan Au (Sam Lee) owes a big sum of money, and needs to go on a winning streak soon or the loan sharks will take the interest from his hide. Luckily, Kan finds a blessed coin that allows him to draws the unbeatable “13 Unique Wonders” hand of mahjong on 13 consecutive nights, which should be enough for him to pay his debts. The problem: every time he uses the coin to win, somebody dies a gruesome, gory death. Meanwhile, fetching Luk Wing (Elanne Kwong) wakes up one morning to discover her family being eaten! Everyone around her has become a zombie, and Wing has to pick up an axe and fight back, or her heart will be come lunch for the living dead. Finally, slacker Chan (Tommy Yuen) signs up for “Scare 2 Die” a reality game show with a prize purse of $130,000. Read more …
