AWESOME-tober-fest 2014: Cult Classics tee shirts ad (1990)

Today is an ad for tee shirts of cult classic movie posters. The posters are printed on black tee shirts and in neon colors. I have to admit, these look pretty awesome. Check out the Lugosi Dracula and Wolf Man images. How about that Reefer Madness? That’s pretty bad ass. My one regret, they never offered them as prints. Only as shirts, pins and patches. Why? I would have bought pretty much every single one of these images as a poster to hang on my wall. They are so cool looking. Missed opportunity I guess. But imagine a jacket with these images as patches all over it. Sooooooo cooooooool.

The ad appeared in Fangoria #92 from 1990. Click it for BIGGER.

Just for kicks, here’s the image of the cover.

AWESOME-tober-fest 2014: Fangoria Scream Great #39 – From Beyond (1987)

Posted in Fangoria, Genres, horror, magazine, monsters, movies, nostalgia, pop culture, zombies with tags AWESOME-tober-fest, AWESOME-tober-fest 2014, Fangoria, Halloween, holiday, HP Lovecraft, magazine, magazines, monsters, movies, zombies on October 14, 2014 by Paxton

Starting today every post is going to be about the movie I’m going to review on Friday. And that movie is to be Stuart Gordon’s second Lovecraft adaptation, From Beyond, from 1986. Fangoria was kind of in love with this movie and featured it on covers and in multiple featured articles during the film’s production. Not surprising since Gordon’s previous movie, The Re-animator, was a huge surprise horror hit. Plus Gordon was bringing along his two Re-animator stars, Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, along to star in the new movie.

Here’s Fangoria’s Scream Greats Poster #39 featuring an image from HP Lovecraft’s From Beyond. This poster was from Fangoria #64 (1987).

AWESOME-tober-fest 2014: Ad for Stuart Gordon’s The Pit and the Pendulum (1991)

This week is going to be Stuart Gordon Week. When you find out Friday’s movie review, you’ll see why. Stuart Gordon is a prolific 80s-90s director probably most famous for directing The Re-animator, but he’s also directed several other cult horror favorites. One of which I’ll talk about more tomorrow.

Today, I’m showing you a 1991 home video ad for Gordon’s The Pit and the Pendulum (1991) starring Lance Henriksen, Jeffrey Combs and Oliver Reed. I haven’t seen it, but I think it looks AMAZING.

This movie looks seven different kinds of awesome. It’s B movie cheese all the way. Check out the trailer.

You know what, now that I’ve watched this trailer, I think I’ve seen parts of this on cable I just didn’t know what it was called.
