The Evolution of Halloween Movie Artwork from 1978-2009


Sponsors (Advertise on Circlebox Blog)





Halloween (and the other how ever many movies they actually made!) are those kinds of movies that’ll always be remembered, whether you loved or hated them. They’ve been re-several times on VHS, DVD, and now Blu-Ray, and on top of that we saw the remake of Halloween 1 directed by Rob Zombie in 2007, which was a great movie in case you haven’t seen it yet!

I’m going to see the remake of Halloween 2 this weekend with my Fiancée, and whilst doing a little research I decided to show you the Evolution of the Halloween Movie Artwork going right back to the original release in 1978 – 13 years before I was brought into this world! I apologize for some of the poor images below, they wern’t as easy to find as I first expected!

I find it crazy just how much has changed when it comes to movie artwork over the years! What’s your favourite cover/poster here?

    Halloween II (1981)would have been the creepiest if her picture wasn’t in the eye hole. So I have to say my fav is the Commemorative Set because the mask alone is just awesomely creepy. I wonder what it will look like in another 10 years :)
