Dead Mike 949 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 The 80's sword & sorcery type video boxes were brilliant as the artwork always promised something that the special effects of the day could never deliver. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bellenda Carlisle 1,752 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 I'm 100% with Chest on this, great topic. I love painted movie covers so much, I went through a period where I'd buy loads of videos from boot sales & stuff just for the covers, mostly films i'd never even heard of. I'll post some later, I'm on my phone at work at the moment. Â It's a lost art and so often they made the film look 10 times better than it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CuckedByMenry 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 I could never walk past this video as a child without looking at the cover for a while. The same still applies today when I put the DVD on: Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dirty Eddie 1 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 Â Â 2 of the more notorious Video nasty films that were pretty much mass marketed via their VHS artwork. The Driller Killer one is not the original artwork, but from a 1985 video release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devon Malcolm 11,436 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 You should, Sev, I watched it recently. It's bloody hilarious. Paul Sorvino is especially great. Â Here's another box cover for a Larry Cohen film. His stuff always tended to great box covers and posters:- Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CuckedByMenry 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2012 As far as The Stuff goes, the child version of myself liked it, although I can now barely remember what happens and believe it may have aged poorly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â It's aged a bit, as expected, but it's still quality and it's still spot on about advertising, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
