This New “Rated R in the ’80s” Poster is a Must for ’80s Horror Lovers
No decade gave us more iconic monsters and moments than the 1980s, home to pretty much everyone and everything that we hold so near and dear about the genre. Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Chucky and Ash Williams all came out of the ’80s, as did fan faves like The Fly, An American Werewolf in London, The Thing and The Lost Boys.
Needless to say, the ’80s did it better than any other decade, and artist Holland Jackson of Fox Street Ink pays tribute to the most epic decade of them all with a fittingly badass new print that he’s dubbed “Rated R in the ’80s,” an ode to the movies of his own youth.
“Real movies need the capital R,” says Jackson.
The 24″x”36 art print features six colors and pays tribute to ass-kicking ’80s cinema both inside and outside the horror genre. Grab yours for $50 while supplies last!

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
