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?
Coincidence? I think not! Somebody fire those ad agencies. Happy New Year Jeanette!
ReplyDeleteWow that final one really blew my mind!
ReplyDeleteOooh I find the Last House/People Under the Stairs one particularly interesting! A subtle homage to Wes perhaps? I dig it.
ReplyDeletePax,
ReplyDeleteThe 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.

I got a screener copy of Blood Creek...is it any good?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe the what a rip off Zombieland the Lesbian Vampire Killers poster is ... and how they edited the title too... sheesh.
ReplyDeleteSuper 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.
ReplyDeletejaded,
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna have to tell me, I have not seen it ;)
