Hey Team,

He prices his stuff like this to grab the buyer's attention. notice how he as the "Make an Offer" option ?
he knows those other posters arent worth a million-- :o

but it gets people to ask.  ;)

Frogs is always popular, its "nifty" art (me trying to sound american).
This quad is not so god, but posters that use the full colour design sell like flap jacks (sounding american again).
Its a pretty boring movie, but ahh well, its got Ray Milland and frogs, its gotta be at least ok huh?
In Australia it was released on video as a double bill with premature burial. I must have rented it a zillion times.

I love the artwork on "Frogs."  I mean come on, there's a frog.  With an arm in it's mouth.  And it's big.

Bah!  Peasants.

Ari, that was pretty swell 'Merican but in the future, please note the correct spelling of color.

The image for FROGS is pretty bizarre and striking. That's why it is so popular.
Too bad the movie isn't that great.

It's boring.
The problem with animal horror movies is that most of the animals in these films are not scary. Sharks ok, but frogs?

I meant the poster, but yes it is boring, but on a cold lonely night, kinda fun. Well nobody accused me of having taste.

You gotta love those wacky Italian poster designers. The two panel has the usual "hand in frog mouth" image, but the one-panel has a really cool image of three people covered in spiders, lizards, and snakes (and yet the title is still FROGS!).
