Eyegasm: The Best and Worst Home Video Cover Art – 4/25/17

default-featured-image

Sometimes artists churn out the kind of cover art that makes you drool… It doesn’t matter what the content of the actual film is, if the cover art is amazing, as horror fans we’ll likely watch on principle alone. When it’s bad, however… holy shit.

With so many movies coming out each week, we decided to dole out our best and worst picks for you to look at and judge for yourselves. Let us know what YOU think in the comments below.

BEST:

Caltiki: The Immortal Monster
Distributed by Arrow Video

Let us be clear… we have absolutely no idea what’s going on in the artwork for the classic blob of the jungle flick Caltiki, but we love every pixel of it. Weird shroomin’ fun!

Caltiki

WORST:

Frightmares
Distributed by Screamtime Films

At first we thought, “Wait… is this a film from the 60s?” In which case you could kind of excuse the excessively retro design of the artwork for Frightmares (except for that ridiculously awful title font). Instead we find that it’s a anthology flick from 1997. No excuses. Your artwork sucks. So badly that despite seeking it out, we couldn’t even find a high-res version of it to share. Le sigh.

Frightmares

Scarred For Life
Episode 267: The Legendary John Harrison and The Haunting (1963)
This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies. We chat about his long history in cinema; about how he started working with Romero to some insights into Tales from the Darkside. And we discuss his latest work, the novel Residue: Paramentals Rising, which is a sequel to the Netflix show. After learning about his horror history--including a memorable viewing of Night of the Living Dead--we find out why The Haunting terrified him as a twelve year old. John references an article written by Anthony McKay in Little Shoppe of Horrors, which can be ordered here. You can find Residue: Paramentals Rising wherever you buy your books or at WordFire Press.You can follow John on his website or Instagram and Facebook.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.
