Favourite Zombie movie poster

[MontagMOI]

This question may have been asked before but what Zombie film poster is your favourite?

I like the US posters for Dawn and Day of the Dead (the original films).
I also really like the Italian posters painted by Enzo Sciotti (The Beyond and City Of The Living Dead are two examples).
If anyone can post a photo of their favourite that would be cool.

Kinda like this one for some reason.

Spanish poster for Night Of The Living Dead. I would've posted a bigger one but that was all I could find.

I really like this one.
I can identify every zombie in the poster except for the black guy in the middle. Can anybody shed some light on his identity? :confused:

Nice! Machete-to-the-head zombie is very well captured in that art. Sorry, I don't know the black guy at center, but Philly Swat will/should/might (if anyone is likely to know, that is).

[darth los]

Yeah he would. lol

That's actually the poster and cover box art to the european cut. They've done weird things to this film for sure in order to make it appeal more to the european audience, but to put a totally random zombie front and center !?! :eek: There has to be an explanation for this. The truth is out there !! :confused:

DAwn is no 1 becasue its a graphic design and noone does that anymore

The walking dead from that movie zombie always freaked me out cause they shambled around with their eyes closed. Good stuff. :D

I think some dude just painted in a zombified Ben from Night. Why though, I have no idea...

i pefer the foriegn dawn one that says "zombie" it was on the wall in the flat from spaced, trying to find that one for that size is a bugger.

I really dig My Italian Dawn 1978 poster, which is exactly the poster Darth Los is looking for. I have one in French and one in Italian. They both say Zombi on them.

I appreciate the vote of cofidence! Unfortunately, in this case, I do not know the answer. I have thought of the question before, and wondered... "who the hell is that supposed to be?" While it does look kinda like a zombiefied Ben from Night, but that wouldnt make much sense. But then again, sometimes foreign people doing something related to American things do things that really dont make sense, so I guess that is possible. Also, the shirt the black guy is wearing reminds me of what somebody in Hati might wear, therefore, some foreign artists may have thrown that in, associating Hati with previoius, non-GAR zombie movies.

I also thought that perhaps it was a crappy representation of Peter, who, regardless of the actors order in the credits, seems like the star of the movie to me.

Well the US poster for Dawn (78) is my fav but this one I kinda like too:

It reminds me of the TV Chiller intro on WPIX, if anyone is old enough to remember that.

If the zombie in that poster had a bullet hole right between the eyes than it definitely would have been ben, since that's how he died. Good guess on the hatian theory though. I guess this is another anomoly in the trilogy that we'll struggle for a while to find an explanation for, like why are the two zombified kids at the airport running. ( uh-oh, did i dig that up again? Yep) :p

Not the most attractive of "Dawn" posters, but certainly the most unusual (and one of the rarest as well) - from Germany:

Funniest thing about this poster is that the blurb above the "Zombie" logo translates, "A nightmare that could become reality..." :eek:

[darth los]

I think it's beautiful because it's a rarity and i've never seen it before. It's like finding a new/lost/deleted scene from the original film, portraying it in a light i've never seen before.

Glad you like it, darth - I'm happy to own an original copy of this poster (as well as all other "Dawn" poster variants from Germany). Beware of cheap reprints that recently have surfaced on eBay.

[darth los]

How can you tell for sure if they're reprints? These bootleggers have gotten very good.

There is one very obvious reprint in circulation, which has a white frame that wasn't on the original. Also, it's quite unlikely that copies of the poster have survived in Mint/unused condition, so if it looks virtually brand-new (unfolded, without pinholes, glossy paper lacking any signs of aging etc.), that's always suspicious.

[darth los]

So if it's too "new" steer clear. Got it!! That definitely makes sense. Especially when you consider the rarer things like this are the more expensive they become. THNX. :D
