Horror Poster Look-Alike Extravaganza!




I was checking out the latest DVD releases at Evil on Two Legs and noticed that the cover art for "(Lesbian) Vampire Killers" looks suspiciously similar to that of Zombieland. After the True Blood/Jennifer's Body debacle, I figured this must be a recurring phenomenon and after some digging, I found some startling horror poster look alikes. While some may be unabashed rip offs of more successful films, in some cases great minds just might think alike. I personally enjoy the similarities between the poster for the Black Christmas remake and Rambo. Who knew?

    Oooh I find the Last House/People Under the Stairs one particularly interesting! A subtle homage to Wes perhaps? I dig it.

    Pax,
    The last one had me rolling!

    Andre,
    People under the stairs will always be creepier than Last house for me

    Zombieland looks very cool and a winner too though not that scary.

    Super post! I guess I never really thought about how similar some of these posters are, but looking at them here, it's blatantly obvious that originality has went by the wayside.

Zombieland Trailer Censors Undead Boobs

I was on MySpace when a Zombieland promo popped up with Woody Harrelson and that kid from Juno giving tips on how to survive a zombie apocalypse. This bit of fun seguewayed into the trailer and I was about to click off when I noticed the zombie stripper that chases the Asian businessman out of the nudie club (an image that has stuck with me since my first viewing of the redband trailer) was now wearing a digital bikini top! Check out the regular and restricted trailers at the Zombieland website to witness the hilarity.

And Now This: Pruitt Taylor Vince Creeps Me Out

“His irises tremble violently as the camera fixes on his glassy gaze, and before you know it, you've once again been entranced by the character with whom you're unsure if you should fear or sympathize.”— Actor Bio on Blockbuster Onlin e I just got finished watching Captivity , one of the After Dark Horrorfest films starring Elisha Cuthbert as a kidnapped supermodel with Daniel Gillies and Pruitt Taylor Vince as her captors. Vince gives an unsettling performance as the psychotic Ben Dexter, who owns his own catering business to finance his and his brother's hobby of capturing young women and keeping them in the basement. Vince’s roles always leave me with a feeling of lingering creepiness, so I thought I’d do a brief review of the weirdos he’s played in the past. Monster (2003) Vince plays Gene the stuttering "John" in Monster, one of the many victims of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute from Daytona Beach who became a serial killer.

The Rise and Fall of the SAW Films

Image
With the sixth installment of the Saw franchise set to hit theaters this Halloween and news that Saw VII has already gotten the green light from Lionsgate, it seems only appropriate to take a long look back at the films that started it all. This five part series will look at each of the Saw films in detail and discuss what they’ve contributed to the evolution of the Saw phenomenon and twenty-first century horror. Saw feels very much like a short film, which is what it was originally intended to be. Director, James Wan and writer/actor Leigh Whannell met in film school. Whannell had always wanted to write and act while Wan was an aspiring director. Their combined talents met in the middle and Wan came up with the idea of Saw for a short film that the two would shoot on their own. The original concept was simple. Two guys are chained to opposite ends of a decrepit bathroom, and between them is the body of a dead man with a tape recorder in one hand and a gun in the other. Both captives h
