I love it how every piece of artwork for TCM makes the film look more bloody than it actually is, the sole purpose I suppose


Violence is Italian Art

When it comes to marketing films, if you have a title like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, you want to exploit it for its worth, with artwork promising blood and violence and some catchy taglines (Who Will Survive and What Will Be Left of Them?, What Happened is True. Now Comes The Motion Picture Which Is Just As Real).

Yeah, you've only got to browse through the Shock Horror book to see how much the artwork doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the film itself, generally it's better than the film too!

It's a good thing they never kept the Head Cheese title!

We probably wouldn't be discussing it if they did!

I shudder to think what artwork would be used to accompany that title!

I'm certain one of our resident talented artists will be able to knock up a design for a laugh

I came across this VHS artwork today and I don't think I've seen it before, so here it is...

I used to have that image on a t-shirt I bought from Forbidden Planet when I should have been at a lecture in London one day!
