I'm pretty sure that French Suspiria poster says, in Latin, “Something everywhere, something eternal, something believed by everyone.” Meanwhile, underneath that, the French says, ““Sorcery’ is something that has been recognized by all people in all places in all times.”
The Japanese transliteration is Sasuperia̦.
I’m not sure what the Schock subtitle means. “Transfert” is transference. The others are obvious.
The Japanese Hills Have Eyes transliterates as Sarandora. Your guess is better than mine as to what that means.
The French inexplicably singularize it to The Hill Has Eyes.
The Danish tagline is just the standard “The lucky die first.”
The ORIGINAL Danish one one says—here’s your ol’ skool tagline of the day—“Those with weak nerves are warned: it is no empty boast! THE BUTCHER GANG.”
Gah, that one Hills Have Eyes poster (the second one down) with Michael Berryman looming behind the woman... double-take city! It took way too long for my brain to fully parse what was going on there. Awesome posters!
Watching the commercial for "Shutter Island" and I'm thinking here's a movie that could use a scythe wielding degenerate hick and a giant alligator. Just put 'em in the movie, just...do it and don't worry about it.
"its BEDS become blood BATHS!" ... biggest reach in a tagline ever? I love it.
ReplyDeleteI know...I love that there were stupid tag lines like that back then. It's a dying art- they're all so SERIOUS nowadays. I want stupid and sleazy!
ReplyDeleteAi, la mia Pondra!
ReplyDeleteYou’re dropping the Latin on me now!

ReplyDeleteYou know where to find me.
Michael Berryman, FTW.
ReplyDelete"Who let you out of YOUR cage?"-ALF to Michael Berryman as a lab technician.

ReplyDeleteAs I recall, 1977 was the last great year for the drive-in. After that, everything started creeping in to the multiplex.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you really needed to see >Dawn of the Dead at the mall.
