SCREAMERS!

ImpAwards has the new one-sheets up for Scream 4

Russ Meyer Movie Posters

Upon hearing the death of Faster, Pussycat! cult queen, Tura Satana (who actually got her first role on Billy Wilder’s Irma La Douce), it brought to mind indie pioneer, Russ Meyer, who kickstarted Satana’s career into overdrive.

Although Meyer’s films were hardly even b-movie masterpieces, it is quite evident that his irreverent style inspired a whole legion of future film directors, including Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez, with his cartoonishly violent, sexploitative romps.

For The Birds

Wow, these French movie posters for Hitchcock’s The Birds (the first two are by Boris Grinsson) make my eyes go ravenous! And be sure to check out the Cliff Notes Video of the film below…

Hot Lips!

Sorry if I got you excited — but no, this is not a Loretta Swit aka “Hot Lips” Houlihan from M*A*S*H tribute — though I do love her work!

In the world of movie posters — and I guess this pretty much goes for life, in general — there are some body parts that are just more visually appealing than others…

Poster Ripoff #2: Scary Faces!

Laugh and the whole world laughs with you…Scream and you scream alone.

Btw, the French poster for There’s Always A Price Tag (top right) is by French artist, Jacques Fourastie, of Pickpocket fame.

The First Noël…

Guy Gérard Noël was born Guy Carré — but later changed his name to Noël because he was born on Christmas day (and also because I’m sure he felt the moniker gave him a little more caché as an artisté).

Although he is undoubtedly most remembered for his seriously spooky output on the Hammer Horror series of posters distributed by Universal from 1950-1973, I personally have always found his romantic drama pieces much more appealing. But that’s just me. If you really want to know Noël, then you must check out EatBrie’s scary collection or, of course, just buy the book.

After retiring to the French countryside in the late 60’s to illustrate books and record covers, Noël died of a heart attack in 1994 at the age of 82.
