awesome movie poster friday- the JAPANESE KICK ASS edition!

Japanese poster design is so good that I find myself wanting to see movies that stink.

Japanese poster design is so good that they make non-horror movies look scary.

Any poster involving a blood smear is aces with me.

The Blood Simple poster looks remarkably similar to the American Fargo poster. Huh.

And I heart that American Psycho poster. Huzzah! Tacos! Cunnilingus!

they are ok.

Nothing compared to Polish horror movie posters, of American Films.

What's the fourth one down?

Oh, the Poltergeist is pretty extreme.

Stacie Ponder said...

4th one down is Burnt Offerings...which I should watch again soon.

Those are genuinely creepy!

Wow, I have not seen anything for years about "The Car". I think there is a film that Stacie needs to review. Count it a part of the films with possessed items that kill. It's so bad and yet, incredibly enjoyable!

James Brolin trying to look scared is reason enough to see it...

Gorgeous design. I really love the Poltergeist 2 one.

Is that a *The Fog* poster underneath the *Fargo* poster?

Also, I enjoy the *The Lost Boys* poster. I mean, it's kind of bad... but so bizarre that I love it.

I'll be the drunk who gets up in the short sleeve shirt and tie to sing karaoke "Copacabana."

Those are sweet. The "Hell House" poster is particularly brill.

You and me both...although Polish ones are scarier.

The CAR! Damn. In Japanese no less. Damn. Damn.

Is it just me or does everyone else produce cooler posters then the US.

I'll be re-Tumbling the Lost Boys one. Horror people should learn how to convey messages on the sly.

That American Psycho poster is all kinds of awesome.
And is that the horse's eyeball on The Ring poster? Right before he jumps off the boat and gets chopped up? Or is that a scene from all the random crap on the tape that kills you? In any case, it doesn't look like Naomi Watts.

Proof positive that everything is better when it's Japanese.

I thought the "bleeding skull" HELL HOUSE poster was fabu, but THIS one blew my socks off! Not bad on the POLTERGEIST 2 either.

That Japanese poster of "The Car" absolutely ROCKS.
