The Fright Night poster is an absolute classic, I love that. The poster for the sequel is also amazing.

Night Train to Terror (1985)

Not my favorite horror movie by any means but the poster art is better than average and quite misleading.

I see what you did there and i love it. That is my all time favorite horror sci-fi film. I my other free time i'm working on doing tube content for giggles. Here is a review i did for Critters 1986. I have no onscreen personality but i'm just trying to assume myself, check it out if youre ever in the mood. Please don't judge me.

Post by: erik1925 on July 11, 2016, 12:58:46 AM

Ive never seen Critters, but I always like the poster imagery and when the Japanese version popped up, I decided to go for it.

I will check out the movie, for sure.

And The Outing poster art by Drew Struzan is top notch!

Title: Re: 1980s Horror Films
Post by: DarianCastle on July 11, 2016, 01:03:41 AM

I personally love it with it's light hearted nature and it's practical creature FX. The poster with the creature proudly displayed on it is fantastic.

Title: Re: 1980s Horror Films
Post by: erik1925 on July 11, 2016, 01:10:12 AM

Old school, mechanical (built) SFX are the best. No doubt about it. The FX were real and not just created on a hard drive and inserted later, in post production (Critters, Poltergeist, SW, The Exorcist, Jaws, Friday the 13th, the original Hellraiser, etc come to mind).
 

Overdone CGI can be just lazy (at times... and  now, cheaper, too). And it can look it, as well.  :-\

Title: Re: 1980s Horror Films
Post by: DarianCastle on July 11, 2016, 01:39:08 AM

I agree all the way, CGI has its place but people rely on it way too much now. This may not be a good example but compare J.J. Abram's Starwars VII (the force awakes) to George Lucas's Starwars I (The phantom menace). Both used large amounts of CGI but Starwars I used almost 100% CGI and i my opinion SW VII had more life to it.

Title: Re: 1980s Horror Films
Post by: DarianCastle on July 15, 2016, 10:26:10 PM

In my opinion the 80s produced some of the most amazing art. The Lift is a movie that i've been wanting to see for a long time now, it don't think it has a DVD or Bluray release. The tagline is hilarious.

TerrorVision - 1986

Just got a Gremlins poster in and i have to say i love it, it looks fantastic.

Also, just to put in out there if anyone knows of any place that has a Critters 1 poster (of the critter) or a The Lift poster (as posted in this thread) for sale let me know please.

Thanks D.

Japanese B1 for Beetlejuice (1988)

Kind of a comedy-horror flicker.  >:D

Title: Re: 1980s Horror Films
Post by: DarianCastle on August 07, 2016, 01:18:16 AM

As i understand it Beetlejuice was going to be a straight horror movie but at some point it became a comedy. I have to say i think it's a great movie and couldn't imagine it any other way. A little fun fact for you, my brother actually did some work for Tim Burton's "the nightmare before Christmas". He did some concept designs for merchandise of the brand.

Thanks guys, i have about 85 posters from the 70s to 80s. I'm sure that isn't very much compared to the average person on this forum though. I'm getting less posters now but the price seems to be going up, isn't that the way?

I've always liked the Elm Street film series, and there are some fantastic Elm Street posters around from different countries, and I have to say that some of the Japanese Elm Street posters are certainly quite unique in their design, a good one Jeff thumbsup.gif

With all that blue, I can't say that it's an Italian thing.... even tho the poster is.

But the art is by Kirby. So maybe that explains it, Okie.
