“Sinners” Alt Poster by Shawn Mansfield!
Sinners is one of my all-time favorite movies. I love the number of really sweet alt posters the film has inspired, like this one from Shawn Mansfield.

“Carrie” from Mike Flanagan – The Poster and Trailer are Here!
A poster and teaser for Mike Flanagan’s series adaption of Stephen King’s Carrie have arrived.
I like King’s novel and am a huge fan of Brian DePalma’s movie adaptation. Since I’m also a Flanagan fan, and the trailer works, I’m looking forward to this. The fact that the entire series drops on October 7th is a plus.
Deal me in.
She just wanted a friend. They gave her a fight.
All episodes of Carrie, a new series from Mike Flanagan, premiere October 7 on Prime Video.
“30 Days of Night” Alt Poster by Fredlobo Lopez!
This 30 Days of Night Alt Poster by Fredlobo Lopez is money. It captures the start of one of my favorite scenes in the movie. The vampires are about to attack the citizens of the village and all hell breaks loose. It is complete chaos and the movie captures it perfectly. Click on the image to see a biggie-sized version.
“The Creature from the Black Lagoon” by J.K. Woodward!
I love the absolute look of terror on the woman’s face as she is kidnapped by The Creature from the Black Lagoon. JK Woodward created this beauty!
“Wolf” (1994) starring Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer / Z-View
Wolf (1994)
Director: Mike Nichols
Screenplay: Jim Harrison, Wesley Strick
Stars: Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Spader, Kate Nelligan, Richard Jenkins, Christopher Plummer, Allison Janey, David Schwimmer, and David Hyde Pierce.
Tagline: The Animal Is Out
The Plot…
Will Randall, Editor-in-Chief of a large New York publishing company, is driving a country road late one night when he hits something. It appears to be a large dog. Will gets out to check on the animal. It turns out to be an injured wolf. The beast bites Will before running into the woods.
Not long after Will learns that the publishing house has been bought out by Raymond Alden. Alden doesn’t know anything about book publishing. But he knows how to make money. So Will isn’t surprised to learn he’s been demoted. Stuart Swinton, his young former protégé, is now his boss. Swinton’s attitude changes overnight from smarmy to condesending.
As Will’s wolf bite heals, he feels reinergized. Colors seem more vivid. Smells stronger. As Will’s body improves so does his confidence. Will visits Raymond Alden at his home. There Will meets Alden’s adult daughter. Will is much older than she can’t deny the attraction.
Will knows the wolf bite is causing the changes. Each day he’s becoming more aggressive and animalistic. He worries the changes won’t stop. What then?
The animal is out.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Wolf features Allison Janney’s feature film debut.
David Schwimmer appears as a cop in a very small role. Just a few months later he would become a breakout star thanks to his role on Friends.
When werewolf movies are discussed, Wolf almost never is brought up. Interesting to note that the word werewolf is never used in the film either.
I found Wolf to be better than most folks do. As always your mileage may vary.
Wolf presents an interesting take on becoming a werewolf. Usually the person bitten feels changing is a curse. Nicholson’s character enjoys the changes… at least at first.
Spader is so good at playing someone easy to dislike.
Wolf (1994) rates 4 of 5 stars.
Subtly Unsettling “Psycho” Alt Poster by Niccolò Fioriti!
Niccolò Fioriti’s alt Psycho poster is so creepy. The big looming figure of Norman Bates and the three figures huddling together works. It’s unsettling. Subtly unsettling. Well done, Mr. Fioriti.
“She needs *me*. It’s not as if is she were a maniac, a raving thing. She just goes – a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven’t you?“ – Norman Bates
“The Train to Busan” 10th Anniversary Poster (by Oliver Barrett) and Trailer are Here!
The Train to Busan 10th Anniversary Poster (by Oliver Barrett) and Trailer are Here!
It’s hard to believe Train to Busan is ten years old. It is the film that helped redefine the zombie genre and introduced Don Lee to a worldwide audience. Train to Busan remains one of my favorite horror/zombie films. Getting a chance to visit (or revisit) Train to Busan on the big screen is something that shouldn’t be missed.
Deal me in.

Nick Levy Presents The Universal Monsters and the Absolute Truth!
Nick Levy has not only created a kick ass Universal Monsters poster, but he speaks the absolute truth when he says…
Hollywood has been chasing this universe for 90 years and still hasn’t caught it.
Before shared universes were a billion dollar strategy, Universal built one in black and white. No CGI. No post credit scenes. Just pure monster mythology that rewired the entire language of horror.
Dracula. Frankenstein. The Wolf Man. Creature from the Black Lagoon. The Mummy. Bride of Frankenstein. Phantom of the Opera. Nosferatu. The Invisible Man.
Nine icons. One legacy. Untouchable.
“Dawn of the Dead” Alt Poster by Jack C. Gregory!
Zack Snyder’s remake of George R. Romero’s classic Dawn of the Dead, doesn’t get enough love. I’m a huge fan of Snyder’s riff. From the looks of Jack C. Gregory‘s alt poster, he is as well.
When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth.
“Hope” – The Full International Trailer is Here!
The full international trailer for Hope is here and we get a clear view of the aliens. This film looks to be all out action.
Deal me in.
In the remote South Korea village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok (Hwang Jung- min) and officer Sung-ae (Hoyeon) are called to find a mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the village.
In the nearby forest, a coterie of hunters, including Sung- ki (Zo In-Sung) set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead.
But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.
“The Dead Zone” directed by David Cronenberg; starring Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom, Anthony Zerbe, Colleen Dewhurst and Martin Sheen / Z-View
The Dead Zone (1983)
Director: David Cronenberg
Screenplay: Jeffrey Boam; based on THE DEAD ZONE by Stephen King
Stars: Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom, Anthony Zerbe, Colleen Dewhurst and Martin Sheen.
Tagline: In his mind, he has the power to see the future. In his hands, he has the power to change it.
The Plot…
Everything is going great for Johnny. He’s got a job teaching at a local school. He’s in love with Sarah, a teacher at the same school and she’s in love with him. Soon they will be married.
After a date with Sarah, as Johnny is driving home, a freak auto accident occurs. Johnny survives, but is left in a coma. When Johnny wakes up…
… FIVE YEARS HAVE PASSED.
Johnny has lost more than time. He learns Sarah is married and has a child. The wreck left him with a limp. His full physical recovery will take time. Yes, Johnny lost a lot. But he also gained a power. When Johnny makes physical contact with a person, he sometimes sees glimpses of their future.
Rumors spread about the man who cheated death who can now see the future. Some people are doubtful. Others think Johnny has been granted evil powers. Still others want Johnny to see their future so they can gain from the insight.
Sheriff Bannerman is skeptical, but has nothing to lose. A serial killer continues to kill and leaves no clues. Johnny reluctantly agrees to assist Bannerman. Along the way, Johnny discovers something even more deadly than a sadistic killer.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
When Johnny first discovers his new power, he sees a child trapped in a burning room. As Johnny witnesses this vision, sweat breaks out all over his face. The “sweat” is actually a flame retardant put on Christopher Walken to protect him from the flames. It turned out to be a happy accident since it created a cool effect that wasn’t intentional.
THE DEAD ZONE was the first Stephen King novel to reach #1 on the best selling hardcover list.
Christopher Walken was an excellent choice to play Johnny.
Martin Sheen plays Greg Stillson, a shyster politician running for President. Sixteen years later, Sheen began playing President Josiah Bartlet on the West Wing.
The Dead Zone is my favorite film directed by David Cronenberg.
The Dead Zone (1983) rates 5 of 5 stars.
“Psycho Killer” (2026) / Z-View
Psycho Killer (2026)
Director: Gavin Polone
Screenplay: Andrew Kevin Walker
Stars: Georgina Campbell, James Preston Rogers, Malcolm McDowell
Tagline: Meet your new nightmare.
The Plot…
Jane Archer, like her husband Mike, is a Nebraska Highway Patrol officer. Jane is going off duty when over the radio she hears that Mike has pulled a car over. Since she’s near Jane decides to swing by.
Mike says for Jane to head on home. It’s a simple traffic stop. As Jane drives away, she sees her husband gunned down. The killer takes off as Jane’s attempts to save Mike fail.
Jane is convinced that her husband was killed by a serial killer the press has named The Satanic Slasher. This psycho killer is a behemoth who has left dozens of corpses all across the Midwest. At each crime scene the police find bizarre occult symbols.
Jane takes time off. She believes that The Satanic Slasher isn’t randomly traveling the country. She’s convinced the killer has a destination in mind. If she can figure it out and get there first, she can finish him.
What Jane and no one knows is this psycho killer has an endgame in mind that will exponentially increase his number of victims and shock the world.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Psycho Killer took a looong time to get made. Andrew Kevin Walker finished the script in 2007. In 2009, Fred Durst was set to direct with Eli Roth as the producer. Gavin Polone, who ended up directing the film, signed on in 2010!
I was surprised. Psycho Killer was better than I expected. It remined me of the type of movies I’d see at drive-ins in the 70s. Perhaps nostalgia got the best of me. Your mileage, as always, may vary.
Psycho Killer (2026) rates 3 of 5 stars.

One woman against a building full of killers.
Welcome to The Virgil.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
They Will Kill You is a blast. It features outrageous nonstop action, mystery and humor.
Zazie Beetz is believable as an action star. The camera loves her. She’s one to watch.
Kirill Sokolov knows how to shoot action. I love his inventive camera angles and set-ups. I can’t wait to see his future films.
The Virgil, with it’s hidden passages and secret panels, would fit in with so many horror films of the 1930s and 40s.
James Remar provides the voice for “The Pig Head” character.
They Will Kill You is like Rosemary’s Baby on steroids reimagined as an action/horror/comedy.
They Will Kill You (2026) rates 4 of 5 stars.
