These Mondo Horror Posters From Texas Frightmare Weekend Are Incredible
The 13th annual Texas Frightmare Weekend is fast-approaching, and with the return of the popular horror convention comes some stunning Mondo horror posters that will likely be must-owns for any horror movie fan.
I've never been to Texas Frightmare Weekend, but I really wish I were going this year so I could scoop up some of these amazing Mondo horror posters. I don't even have any wall space left in my house, but I don't care – these posters are wonderful, and I must have them in my life. Gamespot posted a look at several of the Mondo horror posters.
This is my favorite of the bunch – The Texas Chain Saw Massacre by Robert Sammelin, featuring a colorful look at everyone's favorite chainsaw wielding Texan, dancing like nobody is watching.
Here's Nightbreed by Sara Deck. Time for a confession: I'm the one horror fan who doesn't like Nightbreed. I've tried again and again to give it a chance, watching both the director's cut and theatrical cut, hoping that I'd fall in love with the film like my fellow horror film lovers. But alas, I just can't get into it. Still, Sara Deck is an incredible artist, and this is a gorgeous poster.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master by Mike Saputo highlights the Jaws-parody scene from the Nightmare sequel.
Child's Play 2 is my favorite Child's Play movie – it's just a better, weirder take on the concept from the first film. And this poster, Child's Play 2 by Matt Ryan Tobin, captures one of the best scenes in the film – the climactic chase through the Good Guy warehouse.
Big Trouble in Little China by Phantom City Creative is a stylish take on John Carpenter's action-horror-hybrid.
And finally, here's A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child by Mike Saputo, which looks more than a little similar to the Logan poster.
Texas Frightmare Weekend runs from May 4-6, 2018. Here are some more details.
