Movie Poster a Day with JayDee

Well the list dictates that once again it's the turn of Jaws, the film that is fast becoming the official mascot of this thread. Fortunately there seems no end to the number of options available. Of all the films out there I'm not sure any have more great 'fan' posters than Jaws. Like the previous two posters this is yet another one which does not actually feature the iconic shark in the flesh, instead suggesting his presence through another clever concept. And as with Dracula I've also included a variant which alludes to its stars' bloodlust

Today's poster comes from Tyler Stout, someone I've considered including a couple of times before but had decided against it. He is undoubtedly one of the most popular artists around but he also splits opinion somewhat. He has a large group of fans who love him and some of his work goes for ridiculous prices. There are also those who are not a fan of his style however, finding it too crowded, too busy and lacking in personality. And I often find myself to be of that opinion, though I do believe this is certainly one of his best. Let's see what the board's opinion is

And again if you want to examine it in greater detail go here

I've decided to make today another Double Poster Day, even if I have no real reason for doing so. First up is this Spanish poster from the film's original release by the great Macario Gomez Quibus (aka Mac)

Brains! Brains! Must eat brains!

Two posters again, this time for Poltergeist. The first is this fairly subtle, but very moody and atmospheric effort

And then from Pakistan we have this freaky poster which bins any sense of subtlety. While it doesn't particularly come from the actual film I love the evil eyes and how the face and water blend together

Well I missed yet another day. Though for any MoFos who are concerned about my health and wellbeing this thread is a pretty good way to gauge it. If I've missed a day then you know it's most likely been a day day for me.

So to keep on track I need to do two movies again. However I've done Double Poster Day so often that I don't think that alone will stand out. So I'm doing Triple Poster Day right? That would be the logical thing to do after all. Wrong! It's the unprecedented Quadruple Poster Day!!!

First up it's Wes Craven's meta horror classic, Scream. Now the large majority of posters for Scream will undoubtedly feature the Ghostface mask; it's a truly iconic symbol after all. This poster features the Ghostface image but manages to do it in a completely original way. As well as being a cool design I think it also goes a long way to capturing the spirit of the film. The poster lets you know that you're in for something that is both darkly funny but at the same time pretty gory.

And the second film today is one of the few great remakes out there, David Cronenberg's The Fly. First there's this poster which has a fairly straight-forward design but the level of detail in Goldblum's face is great and I think it captures a real sense of intensity and danger

THAT captures the spirit of Scream far more than the other one. I prefer it.
