Now, before you go getting all "Oooh, an Awesome Movie Poster Friday celebrating the beloved
Scream series, coinciding with the release of
Scream 4! How...4tuitous!", let me just say: that is not really what this AMPF is. I wanted to do a Scream series tribute but let's face it: the posters for the
Scream films largely suck. In fact, if you'll remember (or
click this link to learn), my scientific research has shown that
Scream 2 is directly responsible for the sorry
sorry state of the modern horror movie poster- a pit of Photoshopped, fresh-faced blandness that we're only just beginning to crawl out of several years later. At least there's a tiny effort being made with the posters for
Scream 4, but I still hear the sad echoes of "wasted opportunity" when I close my eyes.
Ah...just imagine what the art could have been if
Scream had been made in 1981. *tear*
The worst offender, I think, is this one sheet of fuckery for
Scream 2. Come on, Germany, what is this?
Who is this? It's like Neve Campbell and Amanda Seyfried had a baby and then they made a Bratz doll out of the baby and then they dipped the Bratz doll baby in bronzer.
So, no. This AMPF is not dedicated solely to the
Scream films...but it is dedicated to films that scream. Hooray!
