My friend just brought back a bunch of horror movie posters from Aregentina. Return of the Living Dead poster is 3d. I need to find some red & blues...

got truffaut's small change poster too! forgot that one. looking at all these kinda made me feel warm and fuzzy about the movies. these all came out when i was a kid. which is when movies were most majikal to me.

Wow I have never heard of Personal Best but that poster is awesome & makes me want to see the movie. The poster for MAGIC is awesome too, but it makes me not want to see the movie as I don't think it could live up to that poster!

this one was blowing my mind the other night:

Magic creeped me the fuck out when I was a kid.

Personal Best is the name of the first Team Dresch album and is a big deal for a lot of folks.
