The Worst VHS Cover Artwork!

[SPazzo]

Not too sure if it's a VHS, but it's pretty bad.

[KYGOTC]

I still think all these are better than most of today's DVD covers....

If you're talking about the crappy Photoshop mishmashes they inexplicably put on movies that already have top-quality poster art, then I agree completely.

I'd like to SECOND that agreement.

Whatever happened to making not only the film, but the POSTER ART a masterpeice? NoW its just get a picture of the big name a-list star on the front and call it a day. Back in the days of illistration, even if the producers demanded the actor's money making mug on the poster art, it was still a DRAWING or a PAINTING or SOMETHING along those lines. and it looked FANTASTIC! I mean, look at the star wars posters! The Mines of Kilominjarro! Hell, even B-MOVIES had great artwork! Look at Masters of the Universe! and all those cheeply made exploitation fliks of the 70s!

.......MAN .......Is THIS really what we settle for these days? I mean, what is he even DOING in this picture?! Is that an INVISIBLE GUN in his hand?!

Found some others:

Dude! That is an AMAZING illistration! Explain to me why you think that's bad. Just curious.

one more for you...



"Young and Free........and dead very soon"  who fights a bear with a lit torch??  you're only going to p*ss him off.

But he has two lit torches.

.......MAN .......Is THIS really what we settle for these days? I mean, what is he even DOING in this picture?! Is that an INVISIBLE GUN in his hand?!

Also, his left arm is practically disappearing into his jacket.

Now that you mention it, it is kind of awesome.

Don't know what it's about, and by the look of this picture, I don't care.  Pass.

This is a crappy cover, but a really scary movie!

It is.  Check here:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109271/

This film will come back to haunt HIS career...oh, right, he doesn't have much of one now.  This might help him.

Wild Women Of Wongo!  Man, that's a brutal film! 

Terror Eyes.  Why don't they show any eyes?

It's an obvious photoshop, and not a great one.  This appears to have the original image, with the guns in place. 



Here's another example of Photoshop gone awry (a LOT of the DTV Seagal covers feature this).



Far as I'm concerned, Photoshop was the worst thing to ever happen to box cover art...

Nah, Steven Segal was the worst thing ever to happen to box cover art.
