Have a great #halloween
I just realised that I unintentionally created some of these posters at actual UK quad and US one-sheet dimensions/resolution, so, in theory, I could actually print them out at the true cinema poster size.
Bonus Mr Benn newspaper cinema listing!
I had forgotten I did this too.
@Richard_Littler early in the morning...
@Richard_Littler The first one is presumably post-noir.
@Richard_Littler have you encountered Postman Tap? https://youtu.be/NeKbzxLlEE4?si=yes
That's just strawberry milkshake on Bod's head ... right?
@eliza @Richard_Littler Humpty Dumpty looking sinister
I'm just grateful that you did not do zippy as Pinhead - that would have been too much
@Richard_Littler Odeon Camberwick Green, nice touch!
@ellieraejaye @Richard_Littler also showing in Chigley
@Richard_Littler
Today, we'll be looking through the Nostromo window.
@Richard_Littler the Rod Hull Wikipedia is a dark place. I should not have been surprised
@Richard_Littler Damnit, now I'm singing "emus of the corn" to the tune of a well known Doors track ..
@Richard_Littler The AI results when you google these titles is keeping me amused. Thank you
@Richard_Littler I don't think I'm going to be able to forget the bagpuss one!
@Richard_Littler hear me out: it's 2099 in post-apocalyptic England. Exploring children find the shuttered Thomas theme park. One is drawn to the titular character in an unnatural way, and it turns into Christine meets Maximum Overdrive meets rail-based Final Destination.
@gamblingblues @Richard_Littler Get Edgar Wright to direct it and I'm in.
@Richard_Littler These are magnificent!
@Richard_Littler Fantastic, thanks!
@Richard_Littler these are so good, thank you for making them
@Richard_Littler thank you for a much needed giggle ;)
@Richard_Littler these are amazing! Stellar work
@Richard_Littler Mr Benn is and always was the best.
@Richard_Littler in that case please can I have a full size Mr Benn to go next to my original A Clockwork Orange poster
@Richard_Littler utterly superb work
Bloody brilliant! Thanks so much!
@Richard_Littler Tag line for The Magick Roundabout should have been "It's time for bed...EVERYONE!" or, to make it even scarier, "Welcome to Swindon"
@Richard_Littler Pretty sure this was the inspiration for Beppi the Clown in Cuphead.
@Richard_Littler can't be as demented as the real movie "Dougal and the Blue Cat", tho
@Richard_Littler Okay, but I really want to see a movie about Emus terrorizing the Nebraska countryside.
@Richard_Littler Mrs E already finds Bagpuss disturbing; this would possibly cause a breakdown.
@Richard_Littler do you make these? "the ultimate in terror from deepest, darkest Perú" is hilarious.
@Richard_Littler your mother clanger knits socks in hell
@Richard_Littler Eye, for one, just don't understand how Eye could have missed these 2 classic films when they first came out.
@Richard_Littler brilliant, thanks!!
@Richard_Littler So glad the Fingerbobs and Parsley the Lion are immune to halloweening!
@eaterofsnacks I did a Fingerbobs, but wasn't happy with it..
@Richard_Littler Best not to dwell on them for too long. That way lies madness.
@Richard_Littler My calculations based on the relative size of their moon suggest Clangers are 240km tall.

@Richard_Littler I am afraid this is too UK for me.
