Impossibly-Cool Cover Art: The Killer Shrews

I know what you're thinking. This movie does not sound good at all, at least not in terms of quality. You're right. I'm giving the movie this honor, however, because it manages to be dumber than even the title suggests.
Make note of how little of a monster the poster shows, since what we get are the infamous dogs with rugs on their backs. At least bad claymation shrews or animatronic ones could have looked mildly-convincing!

Up next, a Spielberg film comes to us circa Japan. Stay tuned...

  1. Dude. Theres no mistaking that the film is terrible, but this is one of the awesomest terrible B-movies ever. The killer rug dogs never cease to make me laugh. Remember that scene where the shrews ate everything but the high heel shoe?? Me neither.

  2. Yes, this is much more of a conditional choice. As I said, it still can't live up to the low standard set by the title. The poster promises you something more interesting than what it is.

    If you want bad poster design like the shoe thing, I go with the hand stuck in the frog's mouth on the poster for 'Frogs' hands down.
