Shameless Self-Promotion, Sorry.

I rarely self-promote. In fact, this is probably only the second time. Anyways, I have a slew of music and movie-related T-Shirts on eBay including some old DeadPit.Com Horror Talk Radio T-Shirts. Have a gander at my eBay store.

Jason Lives 1987 Calendar

Here's a really cool 1987 cloth calendar to promote Friday the 13th: Part VI for video stores. I may not be a huge fan of this movie, but am a huge fan of this video-store nostalgia as well as old-school slasher (particularly Friday the 13th) marketing memorabilia.

Blast from the Past, 1988

How many people remember the 1988 Topps Company's Fright Flicks trading card set? 

Friday the 13th: Part VII & Jack's Back Promo Poster!

Have you ever seen this? A promo poster from Paramount advertising both Friday the 13th: Part II and Jack's Back! I gotta say this baby is rare!

Beg Just Be a Nightmare!

Some more foreign greatness from Brandon Middleton. Today it is an Argentinian PAL VHS of Friday the 13th (1980). The tagline is a piece of broken-English greatness: "Beg Just Be a Nightmare."

At any rate, I really dig this VHS cover art.

Jason comes back: A film in which they scream in fear!

Brandon Middleton found this great German one sheet for Friday the 13th: Part IV.  The text reads: Jason comes back a film in which they scream in fear, The Last Chapter. Thanks, Brandon! 

French Video Poster

I dig anything video with it comes to these movies and expecially the promo posters, standees and hangers. All are from an era lost and an era that will never be again: the mom and pop video rental store era. I mean, now you can stream movies with ease, but you can not stream the experience. Now the promo posters and press kits are all digital. That's no good.

Part V and Part VI Posters Share Same Art

Remember my post about how the Turkish poster for Friday the 13th: Part V was just a facsimile of the art on the movie The Wind? Here's some more Part V plagiarism for ya! On the left is one straight from Italy, starring Susan Ross...err... SHAVAR Ross it is Il Terrore Continua, translated into The Terror Continues.  Jason è tornato e non vi farà dormire per lungo tempo, well the tagline translated to English is 'Jason is back and will not let you sleep for a long time.' Sure beats 'If Jason still haunts you, you're not alone!'

Jason X Italian Movie Poster

Since I am not a fan of Jason X, I rarely post anything on the movie. But I do have to admit that this poster is pretty good. It's the Jason X onesheet (if they call them onesheets in Italy) with some pretty nice art. The tagline makes no sense, though: "We all die too violent death."

Latex FX Revisited

made by: Latex FX

Back in 2005 - 2007 Latex FX kicked out some awesome busts and these two now legendary and classic busts (Lloyd and Chopping Block, respectively) were easily some of the best in the era especially since not a lot of Part IIIs were being made-- at least not very good ones (aside from 2 or 3).

Vintage-Style Custom Figures

Popsfartberger on eBay is doing wonderful things with old GI Joe figures, some cardboard, a printer and some blister packs. Here are just some of his inventory or horror and action movie icons for sale on eBay. One of my biggest complaints is that in the 80s and 90s there was absolutely no cool Friday the 13th merchandise. However, Freddy merchandise was everywhere and it made me jealous. These have that great vintage feel to them and would be great for any collection.

Parts II and III Italian Lobby Cards

Two sets of Italian lobby cards for Friday the 13th II & III. L'Assassino Ti Siedi Accanto is translated into "The Murderess Sitting Next To You" and Week-End Di Terrore is obviously "Weekend of Terror."

Beyond Horror Design's Friday the 13th Grindhouse Posters

Here are some Friday the 13th posters Beyond Horror Design made up. They do commissioned work and have an entire blog of projects including many classics, Grindhouse, video nasties and exploitation films.

Awesome Part III Dutch poster.

I saw this posted on the Friday The 13th blog today and I am a collector of obscure, cool Friday The 13th posters and a while back I posted some cool ones from Yugoslavia, but this Dutch one has to be one of the most badass ones that I have seen in a while.

Thanks to jasonsfury for posting this!
