Your Favorite One Sheets!

[Ian Jane]

Technically not photography, but pictures are required so we'll put it here.

What are your favorite one sheets?

DO IT! But explain why you like them, otherwise this just becomes a collection of random pictures.

6641

This Eraserhead image is rad because it kind of leaves everything open to interpretation while at the same time giving you an idea of what the movie will look like. You get that big fuzzy head up front and center with that manic look in his eyes and you get that sort of weird, dusty ambiance coming from behind it. The stark black and white nicely reflects the cinematography. It's a simple layout but it works and calling out the title in that brash almost neon pantone definitely SCREAMS at you.

6642

There are a few great NOTH one sheets, the old school painted ones are nice, but this one to me is the creepiest simply because it's got Mitchum's character front and center without him really being blatantly front and center (I guess if you've seen it you know, but still...). Again, a nice black and white image that suits the movie. It's simple again, but it works. Great choice of font for the text and for some reason the fact that it's in French appeals to me. Makes it more exotic somehow.

[Ian Jane]

Also, this one. Nice representation of the movie, creepy and sort of sexy in a strange way. Great use of color. Puts the imagery first and the names/credits are on there almost as an afterthought. it doesn't scream POLANSKI but lets that weird image of the lady in distress do the talking instead.

6648

[Toyboy]

I can't believe I got this at all, much less for cheap...the fact that there are no Asian people in this image is ridiculous.

It's a fucking X rated Shaw Brothers film about snakes. 1001 KILLER SNAKES!!!

[Mark Tolch]

I have the double-sided (reverse print) one-sheet of this one, and it's one of my favourites just because it's got that super-rad iconic image of Jay Adams, and the other similarly awesome shot of Tony Alva.

I also like it because I got it for dirt cheap.

6685

[Ian Jane]

This one is fucking dope because:

-Damiano didn't have anything to do with it
-The dude in the background, who I'm assuming is the Enema Bandit, has a Zorro mask on
-I dunno who those nurses are but I like'em.
-The movie's logo makes it look like a superhero movie

6686

I need to frame mine.

[Mark Tolch]

And cause you're cocoa for Waterpower?

[Ian Jane]

Oh, I'm the first to admit I have an unhealthy obsession with that movie.

[Toyboy]

It sort of is a Superhero movie if you think about it. He's on a mission to clean up the city.

[Toyboy]

I wish I could find a cheap frame for this Italian 4-sheet because I love it, as does my cat.

What's great is that it is a repainted version of the airbrushed art we got in the US. This one is a little grittier I'd say. I also dig that it seems to translate as INTERCEPTOR:THE WARRIOR OF THE ROAD.

It also happens to be my favorite movie of all time.

Hey Toei Boi... Regular Show did an homage to Road Warrior a few weeks ago in the episode "Trailer Trashed". Check it.

[Toyboy]

So, this one goes against my rule of only buying one sheets for films I really enjoy because DEATH MACHINES is stinky. However, this poster is TOPS!

Here we have a solitary "death machine" - this tower of doom that presumably chomps people to death. The stoic faces adorning the upper part of the pyramid add a creepy quality to the proceedings. My guess is that there is either a set of stairs or perhaps an elevator that brings victims to the chomping level where your choice is either to jump into the flaming abyss that surrounds this monstrosity or let the massive teeth crush and pierce you. Either way you die...

The producers liked this art so much they decided to animate it in the wonderful trailer (again, way better than the movie it advertises)...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt_Zp8npFEE

EDIT: Hmmm, after watching the trailer again I may need to give this movie another shot. The dude kicking the cop thru his side window is great.

I'm gonna say it's neither, that it's instead an escalator. The flow of people getting chomped up looks too steady for stairs or an elevator, an escalator would be more regular.

[paul h.]

If you're on an escalator, be sure that your shoelaces are tied.

[Ian Jane]

I dig the illustration work in this one. A lot of times putting a giant head on a one sheet spells certain death but when you flank it on the left and right sides with hot chicks holding giant weapons, you can compensate for that.

8051

[Ian Jane]

This artwork is all kinds of great. I love how there's some sort of bloody lightning bolt coming out of Udo's mouth, and better yet, how that bloody lightning bolt thing hides a potentially naked ass.

8607

[Ian Jane]

These Japanese one sheet for Horror Of Dracula is.... wtf is it? I don't really know. It's definitely green.

8843

[sukebanboy]

I love this one...not sure of it is a real one-sheet or not though...

http://images.mondo.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/maniac.jpeg

[Mark Tolch]

I think that's one of the ones that the Alamo Drafthouse or something similar did for one of their theatrical runs.

[Ian Jane]

I love the lay out on this one (Matango). The way the three heads are up in the left corner looking bugged out with the mushroom thing in the middle and then that chick being like 'fuck it, I'm out of here' down at the bottom.

10088

[Ian Jane]

I'm not really sure which actresses these illustrated ladies are supposed to be, but I love them.

10291

10295

[Ian Jane]

I love this one sheet because holy fuck!

10564

[Ian Jane]

I stole this from twitter. Love the way little G. is popping out of the egg like that. Nutty.

11105

[Ian Jane]

Kinda gives away the ending but I dig the layout on this one.

The Beyond has so many amazing posters but I think the French one is my personal favorite. It really captures the bleak and nightmarish tone of the film. I think the film and this particular poster started my interest in the crucifixion pose in art. It's just an amazing fucking poster in general.

[Ian Jane]

I think any time you can work a lightning bolt onto your one sheet that you should, and additionally that any time you can have beams emitting from someone's eyes you should use that too.

11168

[Alex K.]

http://phantomcitycreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/TheBurningfinal.jpg

I think this is a re-release poster. Never seen it before. New favorite Slasher movie poster by far. I always dug The Burning and thought it had a great pace and believable characters. Never got the complaints that it was too slow. Plus Tom Savini gore effects, come on.

[Ian Jane]

The movie isn't as good as the poster but I like that they warn us on one side and offer free space shield eye protectors to lure us into theaters on the other.

11196

[Ian Jane]

It's the giant floating Telly Savalas head that makes this one rad.

11215

[Ian Jane]

Because it's Udo's birthday, damn it.

Yokai Monsters are awesome - this poster is just all kinds of crazy.

Better than the movie that it advertises. Great use of green on this.

Sadly I must have seen this movie three or four times at the drive in during the late 70's. If there was a horror triple feature playing, this sumbitch would always be the second film.

ok, so these are not one sheets -- they're vintage VHS covers -- But I gotta just say...God bless Magnum Entertainment. At the video store I worked at in the 80's (a "labor of love" second job), we rented the shit out of these two titles. Unquestionably our most popular catalogue titles. I mean, these things just flew off the shelves, and, not surprisingly, were eventually stolen. Ah, 1987-- goood times.

Hey Ian, do we have a vintage VHS thread? (if not, we should)
