Mike's Movie Poster Roundup - Part 1 - Horror Movie Sequels

One of the biggest parts of the movie going experience for me has always been the movies promotional posters. Usually it is the first piece of promotional material we ever get to see about a film, and it is the first place we begin to form an impression about what the film may develop into or actually be about. A good poster can actually inspire you to want to see a film you may have no interest in whatsoever, or may heighten your interest even more due to the images of the film finally being revealed. We post a ton of film related posters here at CCD, so I thought it would be kind of cool to go back and look at some of my favorites from a particular group or genres of films. Today we take on one of my all time favorite genres, horror movies... specifically horror movie sequels!!! Read more after the jump...

Artin' It Up - All Horror Week Edition - Vol #3 - Jame Gumb

Hello hello!

So we're on day three of C.C.D.'s ALL-HORROR WEEK... and my third day of Halloween-themed, creeptastic art for Artin' It Up! And oh, do I have something EXTREMELY creepy today.

'The Silence of the Lambs' is one of THE BEST, most skillfully made serial killer thrillers ever committed to film! It's certainly one of MY favorites.

Movie Posters by Bcapazo

Movie Posters today suck. The studios are not even putting any effort into promoting films with good posters that are commissioned solely to promote the film. There are a few poster companies that are doing their thing out there to correct this problem (Mondo!!!), but most of the cool posters that you see around the internet are made by independent artists acting on their own accord. One of the coolest batches I have seen in a bit come from the Tumblr of Bcapazo. He has some great classics mixed with some more contemporary hits, and boy does he have a ton. You can see the full gallery by clicking here, or you can check out the ones I like the best after the jump...

It Rubs The Lotion On It's Skin...

... or else it gets the hose!!! Check out this crazy- ass video from artists The Greenkeepers called 'Lotion', Jeff Bond sent this one over and I have watched it about 12 times today. It plays off the infamous scene from 'Silence of the Lambs' in which Buffalo Bill tells the senator's daughter "Put the Lotion In The Basket". I also think it is creepy that Jeff has a dog exactly like Bill's dog. Tells you something about him, no? Click after the jump for the full video...

My 3 Favorite Scary Movies Of All Time: Cal From The Canadian Cave of Cool Edition

Ever since that scene in Scream where Ghostface asks Ms Barrymore that same question people have been asking each other it with regularity. Actually, I'm pretty sure they have been asking each other that since the beginning of film itself. Scary movies are just so easy to talk about... and so easy to form an opinion of. For many reasons they are the genre of movies that you can point to and say "Yup, these are the ones I LOVE!!!" In honor of CCD's 1st annual All Horror Week, we decided to highlight some of our contributors and friends 3 favorite scary/horror movies of all time. These may not be the best, but they are each person's FAVORITE, so these lists should be quite fun. Here we go!

Cal is a great friend of the CCD family and runs one of the all time best websites on the whole net... this guy keeps us coming back for more everyday. So what if he likes kittens, adores Selena Gomez, and hates octopi with every inch of his moral fiber... whats so strange about that? My man Cal is good peoples as far as I am concerned, so we wanted to include him in our CCD All Horror Week. He has contributed some excellent cat pics with captions pertaining to serial killers (they are hysterical!), and now he checks in with his 3 favorite scary movies. Live, from the tundra, here come Cal's picks:

The first SAW movie was hypnotic to watch. Totally original and actually plausible if someone was psycho and mad at you enough...plus after a hour of keeping me riveted to the screen you discover that Jigsaw was THERE THE WHOLE TIME!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) - the unbelievable weight of dread hung over this movie. Not only was Buffalo Bill terrifying but knowing that all it took was a SINGLE PAPER CLIP to allow Lecter to escape was more than I could bear. Not only did he get out but he left his calling card behind. Anyone that smart and that many moves ahead of the authorities is terrifying to me.

The first HALLOWEEN. We all forget how few movies actually has a supernaturally evil and indestructible serial killer in them. This was the granddaddy of the all. The way his facial expression never changed and how he sat up when we thought the terror was over changed my life. I really try to avoid those kinds of movies to this day.
