The Strangeness
What M. Night Shyamalan was doing before The Happening.
Summer Dog
Yes, but what does it do? Is it rabid? Demonic? Where's John fucking Carradine?
Surabaya Conspiracy
Seems like a pretty good reason to betray someone...
The person who designed this probably thought they'd be hailed as a genius: 'Oh, it's puzzle pieces! How amazing! You're the next DaVinci!'.
Tammy And The T-Rex
And you thought Charlie Sheen was responsible for what became of Denise Richards.
How evil is John Franklin that the dinosaur isn't the most sinister thing on this video cover?
Teen Mothers
Not that controversial to be honest. Where TotalFilm.com grew up, if you didn't have a baby by 14, they lynched you.
If it said 'She was 14, he was 47' that might get the kind of reaction the filmmakers were after.
The Telephone
The creative meeting went something like this...
"Hey, Whoopi Goldberg is hip right? She's street, she's down with the kids. Let's go crazy and outlandish with colours! Jazz it up all funky like that graffiti all those kids are doing. Yeah. Awesome!"
Result: a VHS cover that looks like a close up of Mr. Motivator's crotch. Still, though - Whoopi sure does use the shit out of that 'phone!
Terror Out Of The Sky
Oh so this is where all the bees have gone - getting angry somewhere in the sky, and not in hives where the normally live - you know, nearer the ground.
Three On A Meathook
Well, there are two women. Neither is on the meathook. One of them doesn't even look too bothered by the meathook.
Fail.
Next: Twinsanity, The Willies

These video covers are pretty bad but these titles are too. DAMN! 'Who Killed Mary What's 'Er Name?' That's just wrong on soooooo many levels.

I thought the nail gun joke was funny. Surely the guy at the back on the warbus poster is David Duchovny

Naw... you got it wrong, the guy at the back on the Warbus poster is George Michael, without his sunglasses. Wonder what happened to most of those actors... Thanks - I had a good laugh...

Well, it's pretty easy to criticize the cover art but you should be aware of the factors behind it's creation... I am the guy they hired to come up with the cover image. Quick turnaround. No reference other than a copy of the vid and the budget was equally bad as the movie! That was a long time ago. I'm glad to be out of that business and onto better jobs! :/

Above comment - referring to Nail Gun Massacre. (Didn't realize all 8 films share the same comments)
