I'v never seen this Film starring Bill Paxton but this has to be the stupidest cover i'v ever seen in my life.

The Vagrant (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/6302590531.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)

The Burning cover is simply's amazon's cover. It has nothing to do with the movie and is not the actual cover for The Burning.;)

Actually, the Showgirls cover is one of my favorite covers out of all mine. What superb photography! I have been trying to reproduce that picture for ages, but just can't get it (you need a special kind of model.) How can anyone not love that curve?

IT was done animatedly-she was nude and the photographers pictured around her...there are picks of her wearing all black. SHOWGIRLS is one of my true blue faves, but the cover-i just don't get it....the burning....well-amazon could have used the old cover ;)

The Showgirls cover makes her look like a giant leg. All she needs now is a lampshade on her head.

Last house on the Left.

You'd think it was a mixup for some different movie.

I really dislike the MADMAN cover. It totally makes the film look like THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. The original artwork (http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/55/54507/madman.jpg) is awesome, they should have just went with that.

FYI, Anchor Bay UK have released this on DVD. Identical to the US only they use the original cover art and it's anamorphic

Yes I agree that The Vagrant is pretty awful, however I hate the covers for all of the Scream-clone films (which show all of the pretty young actors on the cover) such as: I Know What You Did..., Final Stab, Final Destination, Bleed....blah, blah, blah.
Just a total lack of originality/imagination in my opinion.
I also hate (okay....I'm writing more than one) the Sleepless cover (oh how I wish they would re-release Non Ho Sonno and destroy all copies of Artisan's release). Okay...I'm through venting.
:fire:

Don't encourage him, rhett!:p

MGM's TCM 2 cover blows chumks. I'll take the "Breakfast Club" inspired cover anytime.

I was disappointed with some of the recent shriek show covers, using new models posing for 30 year old films. Also Anchor bays MADMAN.

I like the cover to MADMAN. The ones I hate are: Friday the 13th parts 5-8, Sony's GODZILLA series (ALL of them) and the newer Retromedia titles.
