Fan Shares Rare Concept Sketches for the Original ‘Tremors’ Poster
We’ve been talking a lot about the Tremors franchise these last several weeks, and that’s because a whole lot has been going on in that world of late. For starters, the Michael Gross-starring Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell was just released, and the planned Kevin Bacon-starring TV series, a continuation of the original film, was killed by Syfy.
On another Tremors note, super-fan Jonathan Melville, who wrote the book Seeking Perfection: The Unofficial Guide to Tremors, just took to Twitter to share two pieces of alternate poster art for the original film that were whipped up by artist Donn Greer. The rarely-seen sketch concepts were created before Greer had actually seen the movie.
Of course, the final Tremors poster ended up being a Jaws-inspired piece that became quite iconic, but Greer’s sketches are pretty badass in their own right.
Oh, and I’ll also take along some rarely-seen #Tremors artwork to @HorrorConEdin tomorrow, Donn Greer’s sketches created for possible poster designs using only the script for reference. Look at those guns! pic.twitter.com/6EKUjbdRpK

‘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.
