Even if it sells for $50, it's still $5 more than what I spent.

Good for you, Thierry. Love getting in on a print before it blows up like that.

Also, seems like the screenprint world hasn't gotten the memo that the sky is falling with this hobby like some folks have been preaching...

Jason Edmiston's print for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is up now at Grey Matter Art. Perhaps not the most original concept, but very well executed IMO

Regular: http://greymatterart.com/collections/posters/products/the-texas-chainsaw-massacre-regular-edition-by-jason-edmiston
Variant: http://greymatterart.com/collections/posters/products/the-texas-chainsaw-massacre-variant-edition-by-jason-edmiston

LOVE the eye, Leather face not so much (especially with chainsaw- but I guess they NEED a chainsaw in the poster).
Should have been the faces of those taunting her while she was tied in the chair as she was seeing at that time.

But yeah for all these new ones I like this.

Just had to check the scene again, I had in my mind one shot of Leatherface and the hitchhiker looking at her.
But they are sperate.
I understand from an artists POV neither means as much, but since most people have seen the film, it wouldn't matter (I think) if it didnt have a darn chainsaw (which really features very little considering the title).
I think the hitchiker pretending to beg/mocking her would have been great myself to replace the chainsawing Leatherface, such a demented scene.

I got both styles.  Don't know if I like them yet.  I will have to see them in person.

You're right about that, it really doesn't.  Not selling, not now, not ever.  It's still fun to watch, though.

I did, I really like it. A friend who lives near me ordered a reg and var to save on shipping and we'll toss a coin as to who gets the reg and who gets the variant.

LOVE the eye, Leather face not so much (especially with chainsaw- but I guess they NEED a chainsaw in the poster).
Should have been the faces of those taunting her while she was tied in the chair as she was seeing at that time.

Good art direction there, Ari. I agree...that scene is a winner and would have been well placed (and a bit less obvious). Demented is a perfect description. I suppose Leatherface chasing with his chainsaw is the money shot for many. I like that the eye conveys serious terror without it being gratuitous...a lot like the film I suppose.

No intensity.  I don't really care for it.

HOHH and its variant.... both totally miss, imo, especially with the very "cartoony" looking skeleton.

It's Alamo, Jeff, and I completely agree with you.  Too static, too cartoony, and Vincent Price looks like he's on his last week.

I think, too, the skeleton staring straight at you - that "breaking the 4th wall" concept, helps to ruin it for me, too. (Price is staring straight ahead, but slightly upward, so that works). And yeah, VP looks a bit peaked, too.

A lot of those prints are so different from the original posters, it makes them unique and sometimes brilliant.  But when you have brilliant posters and the print tries to mimic them in a very bad way, it just sucks.

Funny, I usually don't see what you guys do in these prints, and this time I guess I see something you don't.
APART from the skull I like it, I don't mind the skull staring at us, but theres something odd about it,
apart from that I like it, looks like a 60's paperback cover, which I like.

I agree Ari - not a print fan (obviously) but the film is actually more hokey than horror and this print seems to fit that - somewhat tongue in cheek.

Of course I would take either the french of the US poster any day though...

Why is the Haunted Hill print in 'Non-Alamo'?

Anywho, snagged the Durieux print for Godfather 2 today. I like it better than the first Godfather print he did.

Is that supposed to be Vincent Price?  That face is practically Mondo-esque...


And Charlie Brown is the least interesting character ever printed, and that includes Ziggy...

I always thought it kind of looked like Elisha Cook, Jr. :)
