Okay, I'm a big movie geek (surprise!) and love seeing old ads from back in the day. Recently I got my hands on some early 80s issues of Variety and couldn't believe the treasures found inside. Naturally, I'll have to share with my fellow Mobians. Here is what I snapped so far before my camera's battery died.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN was a huge hit in 1982, so naturally the ripoffs flew into production:





Notice how big Fulci's name is:



A Cannon gallery (or how to bring a tear to Marty McKee's eye).

The Bronson artwork looks like it was ripped off the artist's desk half done:







THE GRADUATES OF MALIBU HIGH (nice art!) eventually became YOUNG WARRIORS


And some more films that got retitled:

TRICK OR TREAT became ROCKTOBER BLOOD



SLAY RIDE turned into SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT



WINNER BEST ADVANCE ARTWORK EVER!!!
