I've been collecting chirashi for a couple of years now, and I figured it's high time to scan and post some of 'em. Chirashi are mini-posters/flyers (~ 7" x 10") given out at Japanese movie theaters during a film's run; they've got sweet-ass artwork (usually created exclusively for the Japanese market) on the front and a shit-ton of info I can't read (YET) on the back. I love them. Of course I do...look at them. I want to marry them all!

Good stuff. I'd hang that Poltergeist II poster on my wall.
ReplyDeleteYeah that Poltergeist II one is way cooler than any poster for Poltergeist II has the right to be
ReplyDeleteI had so much work to do today, but now I guess I just have to look at these beauties over and over until I go blind instead. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThese are neat. I love the Convent one. Is that the Adrienne Barbeau Convent?
ReplyDeleteThe Swarm one makes me want to know how to say, "Bees! Bees! Millions of Bees!" in Japanese.
tis indeed THAT The Convent! I love that they carried over the day-glo aesthetic into the art
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is that woman at the bottom of the My Bloody Valentine one? On its front I mean. The one with her hand in her hair. I've seen that movie a dozen times and I don't remember that woman. She looks like what you'd find if you googled "harried employee" stock images
ReplyDeleteShe's the gal who gets impaled on the pipe...the scan doesn't relay the color well but in the actual image her sweater is purple. Although the idea of her being a stock image is way more exciting
ReplyDeletesweater is purple?
ReplyDeleteMarry movie posters?!?!?!?! Yet another example of the gay agenda's blasphemous insanity!
ReplyDeleteJK. And also these are bonkers and brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
