Any FunHouse artwork yet??

[ronnie21]

hoping to see front and back covers. since i dont know what one sheet 1981 one they wil use. think there at least 2 of them. the one with the mouth or the one with the carnivel character holding the ax?

I imagine it will be new artwork along the lines of their Halloween II, Halloween III, and Terror Train covers. Probably with a reversible cover as well.

I believe there are several threads discussing the Scream Factory releases already. I know there are at least two for Shout/Scream Factory, and another specifically for the Halloween releases.

Why open a new thread on a subject that is already discussed on the "Shout Factory" thread?

Seriously, though. The search function isn't that difficult to navigate.

Contributing comments from a 5 post count member ahem? :rolleyes:

OK well as far as contributing goes we have a donation thread. I gave a contributing donation to keep this forum alive for your info. Your more then welcome to make a donation sense you speak so highly of contributions.

I don't mind Ronnie's post as it's not a big deal. Demoni made a good point also but still it's not a big deal.


As far as the cover goes it will be interesting to see. I know there was multiple poster artwork released for this film.

My second post may have come across a little more back-handed than intended, but you're right. It isn't a big deal.

But I'm sure once the artwork is available, it will be posted on the boards. DVD news usually tends to make its way here pretty quickly.

[Demoni]

I believe the less threads about the same subject, the more easy to find something.

I was just advising something and not reprehend.

You should type in the search engine HALLOWEEN. LOL! :lol:

The tentative artwork was leaked while the boards were down.

Shout Factory is seriously beginning to tickle all my private spots lately. Good on them!

Maybe the Weinsteins could get off their fat duffs and sell the rights to Suspiria to them?

Pipedream, I know.

Man, Shout! totally scored when they commissioned this guy to do their artwork. This guy's stuff absolutely kills. And its practically 10x better than any Arrow commissioned artwork (except for maybe the Savage Streets one).... total throwback awesomenss.

[othervoice1]

I personally liked Arrows artwork (even though you can really pick from a variety to display which is nice) for their Funhouse blu- although the artwork shown for Shout Factory is cool too

[Chomp]

Meh...Arrow's artwork relies too heavily on fanservice. There's half-naked chicks and tits on practically every release.

Take Arrow's Funhouse release for instance...there's a random busty blonde chick on there with her teets protruding through her shirt. Hey, I am all for nippley blonde chicks, but it has nothing to do with The Funhouse. HA!

Shout!'s commissioned artwork trumps Arrow's easily.

[SaviniFan]

Looks like a nice blu, already own the Arrow release though. Great transfer, cool poster, booklet, reversible sleeve, and decent extras.

Definitely going to buy the Terror Train blu though.

[startide]

Ugh. Those fold lines make them look like those bootlegs on ioffer!! If you're going to go back to throwback art, at least make it look professional. Not even old VHS covers had fold lines on them.

[Chomp]

Why the hell would they?

I’m pretty sure those fold lines in the artwork are to replicate a vintage 1-sheet. Most pre-80’s posters given to theaters came folded....hence the fold lines.

Folding a VHS makes no damn sense,... seriously can't believe I just read that.

Yay that is what i been saying too uggghh! I hate these covers with the stupid damage lines. So stupid and lame i humbly agree with all your points. There is fine line between posters and dvd bluray covers they are not posters!!!!!

Posters are posters. DVD/BD covers are exactly that, covers.

Go and have a look at Code Red's posters for the Maria line on their website. I don't know if they're posters or mere digital replicas of posters, but the folds make sense (and either way, they're not on the DVD covers!). Faux fold lines on covers make none, replicating vintage era posters or not.

I get the idea, it just looks silly and unprofessional. Not to mention it severely detracts from the art in such a small format. You have to consider the scale when you do things like this, and I don't think they've done that.

TBH, I'm not fussed on the art on any of these Shout discs. I appreciate it, but they're pretty ugly and they remind me a lot of one of the Japanese Prom Night posters, which was this ugly, uncohesive looking collage of images from the film. And I thought the Photoshop jobs of the 90s were bad! Sometimes, original is just better.

[ronnie21]

i love the fold lines. awesome. makes it seem old..

[Chomp]

Fuck yeah Ron...

I bet people complaining about subtle fucking fold lines, are much more content on having ugly Photoshop covers perhaps?... Instead of having hand drawn works of art created by physically pushing a pen/pencil onto paper, they're much more satisfied with something as beautifully divine as this?: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x4GBGdQxsxo/TZ4zgq_i5NI/AAAAAAAAAfc/MVsttbaBs6o/s1600/TheBurningDVD1.jpg

GTFO.

I'm going to cut staride a little slack on this one only because I take it she's from a different country. Her comprehension on the whole purpose of nostalgia doesn't seem to be all there. But Christ, people fucking bitch about the dumbest shit sometimes...especially when the goddamn cover is reversible!

[ronnie21]

never understood why they had to change all or most of the cool artwork on vhs and dvds, I remember when they started doing that shit in summer of 1986.. They changed the artwork for Day of the dead from the cool poster to the yellow backgorund box with the main zombie on the front. Then a few weeks later they changed Nightmare on elm St part 2 's poster art with freddies face and blue background. I was pissed at both at the time since i liked the original posters so much...My friend told me that they do that to sell it more by making people think its a new movie, not a movie from years ago...

[ronnie21]

I wonder what the reverse artwork will be? since there are a few options, we have the famous one with the mouth drooling with teeth, or the one where the jack n box with the ax.. wonder which one they will go with..
