Below is a heckuva fun poster created for a 2009 screening of The Monster Squad at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema by artist Tyler Stout.
This a great design, capturing all the characters and moments of a cult-favorite monster movie that kicked creature butt all over Van Helsing!
Unfortuantely, the blue variant version of the poster is sold [...]

Check out more of Matthew Lyon’s beautiful fake movie titles over on his Flickr set. Makes me wonder what the direction the actual films would take, animated or live-action?
Be sure to look at his other wonderful illustrations while you’re there.

I really admire this kind of stylized, textured illustration and can only [...]

Some of you are already enjoying the NBC show Heroes. If you’re already watching it, then it doesn’t require further explanation. However, if you’re not familiar with the show, you can think of it as a weekly version of M. Night Shyamalan’s feature film Unbreakable or Marvel’s X-Men. [...]
One of the best things about Halloween is working your way through the candy and treats throughout the year. In addition to this year’s haul, be sure to check out my 2005 blog post for a bunch of tasty Halloween leftovers from last year!

I’m fortunate to be associated with some truly amazing people. Because of these relationships, I’m able to pick their brains for great stories, research information for projects, and fantastic ideas. I plan to share some of this insight into these creative minds by presenting multi-part interviews here on this blog. These are people I admire [...]

Well, as of October 15th, it’s been one year since I started blogging.
As most of you know, I also contribute to 3 other blogs: The Alberta Movie Guide, Luxo: A Pixar Blog, and Palaeoblog, all of which take a good deal of time.
Why do I do it? Aside from sharing things I find of interest, [...]
Thought I’d share this fun old movie poster image…
As some of you are probably already aware, Sand Pirates of the Sahara was not an actual feature film. It was sort of a mini-movie produced for use in Frank Darabont’s underrated 2001 film, The Majestic. “Brett Armstrong” is really cult-film favorite, actor Bruce Campbell, known mostly [...]
My wife and I have been helping a friend renovate a house he recently purchased. In the process of demolishing the old basement setup, we took down a study wall with nautical pirate-themed wallpaper. Since I liked parts of the pattern, I decided to scan these images to share. Avast!!!
I particularly like the designs on [...]
