The Evolution of Halloween Movie Artwork from 1978-2009

 

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 FiancĂ©e, 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!

    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 :)

    I think this is a very cool blog. But I think something that might make it better is if you said a some thing about each movie. You don’t have to but it would make a nice addition to this very nice blog.
