There are some nice pics of the actual posters at OMG right now:

I like the red lettering, but the overall image of the regular just looks kinda flat to me.

I guess I will decide when it drops.

but I'm about to go hike with the pups...

Isn't that your favorite place to buy posters while hiking in the mountains with the dogs?

Okay, so I got the regular. Maybe it looks better in person. I just couldn't push myself to get the variant. Dracula screams black and white.

I get zero reception up there. It worked once, months ago, probably because I was at the right spot at the right time. But I'm really in the middle of nowhere.

Okay, now I'm on my way.

got neither. for such an iconic, amazing, historical, wonderful on and on movie, they could have done something a bit more appealing. At least to me. part of me wanted to buy just to be in on the rush, but again, that's not the right reason to buy now is it? I do have no doubt, though, that the poster will look much much better in person. That has been my experience every time. Perhaps if you rave about it after seeing in in person I may reconsider.

I miss the days of the heads up email, a minute before a drop happened...but this is how it used to be, albiet not as truly random as it was over a year ago and before. Remember the random 3AM drops anyone?

Anyway, I hear what you guys are saying re: all the options on this title, but this poster has all kinds of artistic merit, it looks like it was made 100 years ago, and that's a good thing. Horkey's script is perfect for Dracula, fits best with this IP more than the other Universal stuff, don't you agree?

Anyways, I picked up a regular. Black and white with a hint of red = Dracula, IMO.

I liked the poster but passed on the purchase, my consolation was getting a regular true grit at the store yesterday.

This is one that I will never ever buy. Not because it's bad, just because I hate snakes. I see them on a weekly basis on the trail, and I have no need to see them at home.

I see hot girls running on the trails on a weekly basis but it doesnt mean I wouldn't hang one on my wall

So you compare hot girls to snakes?

I guess you have a point: They bite and kill you.

Being a Dracula fan, I did end up getting the Horkula. But this is the best Dracula ad poster IMHO:

TMNT again, this is the 3rd go round, Justin are you shitting me. Come on!! expand your horizons. I would rather have a Battlefield Earth print.

The Santa Sangre is superb:

Someone posted a comment to /Film's site about TMNT:

Why does it look like Donnie is getting his knob polished by Leo? I almost spit my San Pellegrino all over my screen!

I like the Bertmer better than the TMNT. I'll have to see what kind of mood I'm in tomorrow.

I can't stand either poster on so many levels.
