Compare The Posters Of Horror Films With Their Remakes
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.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
