I still prefer the originals any day of the week.
The Plymouth Fury car from Christine is one of my favourite film cars, so you can't go wrong with a decent illustration in my mind.
I used to be quite an arty kid so i'd often end up trying to draw the covers as well, i definitely drew that Pet Sematary cover, Carrie and Night shift at the time.
....Having said that about overly white covers i just thought of the Herbert books i had which goes against what i said.

I guess it's just a nostalgia thing then as i liked these covers.
Although these are drawn as well so maybe that's the issue with me.
Shrine and Jonah are very sparse covers, but the look of the kid is still pretty creepy.
