There’s a very cool gallery over at eBaum’s World that puts the poster for a classic horror movie right next to its remake. It’s pretty fascinating seeing the classic posters for film such as Nightmare On Elm St., Halloween, Friday The 13th, Evil Dead, and more, next to their “updated” versions, which have a completely different aesthetic.
What I enjoy seeing here is the craftsmanship that went into the originals. Many of the older posters were literal works of art, paintings that someone invested a lot of time and effort into. The new posters lack that passion, favoring a quick Photoshop job over real beauty. Who knows, maybe I’m becoming more and more bitter and jaded in my old age?
We’ve gathered a few examples for you to check out. The rest can be seen at the link above.
