THE "CREATE A HORROR MOVIE POSTER" CONTEST!
I-Mockery's latest forum contest of the 2007 Halloween season has arrived!
Continuing our annual "Two Months of Halloween" celebration, we're kicking off our latest contest where you can win one of three horror pals who will keep you company on those cold fall nights. BEHOLD! That's right, compliments of FRIGHT CATALOG you now have a chance to win one of these kickass monsters that were featured on I-Mockery! Scratch Zombaby, Grimsdyke, and Brain Child! For this contest, we want you to show us how you think any one of these three characters could be integrated with a horror movie. In order to do this, you must create some kind of horror movie poster using any of these three characters. for your entry to count. Feel free to use any pre-existing horror movie posters (vintage or modern) to integrate your favorite character with it. But make sure you give the movie a name too! As usual, this contest will be judged on creativity and humor. To help show you what I mean, I've taken the liberty to whip up a sample horror movie poster of my own using Scratch Zombaby: Again, this is just a sample, but it should help give you the general idea of what we're gonna be looking for in your entries so that you can come up with some truly great stuff worthy of winning one of those three monsters. If you have any questions still, feel free to ask. PRIZES: 1st Place: Your choice of any of the three monsters! 2nd Place: Your choice of any of the two remaining monsters! 3rd Place: You get whatever monster the 1st and 2nd place winners didn't choose! RULES: -To participate, you must register an account on these forums (if you don't already have one) and post your entries in this thread. -Once the contest is over, myself and the other staff members will vote on the entries! -Entries will be judged on creativity and humor. -You MUST use at least one of the three monsters in your poster, but feel free to use all three of them if you like. -Your poster MUST have a new movie title that is related to whatever monster(s) you include with it. -Whether you win or not, your entries will be put on display for everybody to enjoy. -Enter as many times as you like!! Ok that's it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck to all of you and start crankin' out those horrific posters! This contest ends 10/7/07. BIG THANKS to our friends over at FRIGHT CATALOG for helping sponsor this! |

Okay, and this one isn't so much HORROR, but I had to post it anyway...
|
YEAH!
|
An Old School Poster
:rock |
|
I tried to give it a cheesy name and cheesier tagline. |
My attempt at making a Troma-like Poster
Considering it looks poorly made, I'd say the effect is complete:) |
Evil Floating Guy
I'd be pretty scared. |
Everyone won't agree with me, but personally, this is what I think would be scary as hell-
That's scary. That... that's really, really, really scary. Nothing could top that. |
|
Originally, instead of a review at the bottom, I was going to put 'Starring: Enrico Gonzales' because it sounded stereotypical.
EDIT: That title roughly means 'The curse of the crazy devil baby' but I moved loco to the end to add emphasis. |
Home Alone Spoof
|
|
The only two ingredients for a true horror film: one monster and tons of cheesecake. This is also known as the big-screams-bigger-tits equation.
|
These things are addictive...
|
sorry for it being so big.... |
|
My attempt
It would scare me......
|
Brains!!!!
|
I thought I'd try for the blaxploitation horror approach...
:domo |
I think we have an overrepresentation of American horror posters. Let's give Japan a chance. Tentacles + babes = Old School Japanese horror.
|
|
|
...and yes I do realize that Frankenstein was the name of the guy that created the monster. It just worked out better this way for the poster... |
An Asian girl-ghost movie brought to you by Panasonic!:) |
My 'serious' entry - everything is scratch, composed from a dozen or so source images. Full size is linked below. http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/2...inchildft1.jpg |
|
Another attempt, although, I was getting tired so the girls face doesn't look like it should, but meh.
|
I remember people filling out Mad Libs and just having every word be 'poop' and finding it hilarious... somehow, that spawned this idea, which was probably funnier in concept when I was exhausted than it is now. Oh well. |

The Fudge
All the great posters I see here have inspired me to dust off Photoshop and have some fun.
I give you: The Fudge The American version would have been a lot better if they had Zombaby. :lol |
|
:hypno |
|
It's great to see the Halloween celebration rolling on. Here's my entry for the current contest. Enjoy!
|
my second go at it.
|
You will be stunned by the originality of this entry.

My last entry.
|
Weekend at Bernie's 3: Shreddin' Stiff
|
Inspired by Cannibal Holocaust... Enjoy the ambiguous genetalia |
I created a profile just to enter this cometition. Here's my entry. Yes, that is me.
|
Based on a great poster for an awful movie:
|
A moving story:
|
Not my best one, but Steve Guttenberg looks so gay here that I had to post it:
|
|
|
I'm running out of ideas... |
|
|
Hail to the king
First time I've submitted anything I've done in to a contest. With the review of "Bubba-ho-tep" earlier, I was shocked no one thought of this movie. BMM |
P R E T E N T I O U S
|
I was trying to make zombaby look as evil as I could; which is pretty hard since he's a goofy devil in a diaper.
|
Man, I am truly loving this contest... we'll have to do another like it soon. Keep those entries comin' people... remember: Sunday October 7th is the last day for entries to be turned in!
|
I put myself in there, it's only fair. Based, somewhat, on a poster for Fire Maidens From Outer Space I found over at Retrocrush. All original elements though, even the background - I just really liked the layout and look. |
|
|
Rosemary's Zombaby
Why am I obsessed with Zombaby? Maybe he reminds me of my own childhood...
|
When looking at old movie posters I saw a lot that were black and white. So here's mine... |
|
Based, of course, on the poster for the craptacular yet awesome Troll and Troll 2. |
|
|
I did a quick Frankenfish poster since it was on the front page. |
|
hey guys
|
Ok, this contest is officially closed now. Myself and the other judges will be casting our votes soon and the results will be posted this week. Thanks again to all of you who've posted up your entries. It's gonna be a hard one for us to judge, that's for damned sure.
|
Well done, guys! I gotta say, this is EASILY my favorite contest we've ever done...I LOVE these entries! It's going to be so hard to decide on the winners!
|
Great idea for a contest. I had a killer idea that I posted on page one, I just suck at using the GIMP right now. Thanks for the laughs for the great posters.
|
Best contest effort yet, by a huge margin! Congratulations all!
|
Alright! The votes have been tallied and here are your winners!
1ST PLACE: J. Tithonus Pednaud (unanimous decision) 2ND PLACE: Nomistakinit (unanimous decision) 3RD PLACE: Zako the Great (not unanimous but had the most 3rd place votes) Congratulations to our winners! To the 1st place winner, please make your selection as to which of the 3 characters you would like and post it here in this thread. Once you've done that, then the 2nd place winner needs to choose from the remaining two characters that are left over and post his choice in this thread. And finally, the third place winner will get whichever character is left. Once all three of you know which characters you're getting, send me a PM with your full name and mailing addresses and I'll send them out as soon as I have the chance (though, as busy as I am, it's likely you won't receive 'em 'til early next month heheh). Again, thanks a LOT to all of you for putting so much effort into this contest... there was so much fun stuff to look at in this one that I'm probably going to do another horror poster contest for our next contest this month. Also, as an additional thanks for your hard work, our pals over at Fright Catalog have set up a special coupon code for I-Mockery viewers that will get you 10% off anything you want on there. I don't get any cash for you buying stuff from them, so don't think it's anything like that. But if you see something on there that you'd like, you can use the coupon code IMock10 on anything you buy there between now and Halloween. |
Brainchild. Brainchild! BRAINCHILD!!!
I have to say, the all the entries overall were awesome and this was probably the most fun I've had designing anything in a long time. I am flattered to be the winner and I sincerely thank the judges for their votes. Was there one poster in particular or was it a overall thing? Congrats to the other winners too. |
Thanks a lot guys..
Although I liked Brainchild too, I guess I'll take Grimsdyke. |
The Fright Catalog's telling me that IMock10 is an invalid code when I put it into the "Offer Code" slot.
|
J. Tithonus Pednaud, yeah everybody chose your "Brain Child From Outer Space" one as their first choice actually. Congrats again.
Grislygus, I'll get in touch with them right away and see what's up with that IMock10 code. Once it's working, I'll post it here again. |
Grislygus/anybody, ok the IMock10 code shouldbe working fine now according to Fright Catalog. If it doesn't work for you now, try again tomorrow... otherwise, please let me know and I'll tell them it's still not working.
|
Yeah, still not working. Someone else try it out tomorrow, I need to order this crap today.
I just called their help line, too, and the people on it hadn't heard about it. |
YOUR HOUSE OF CARDS IS TUMBLING TO EARTH, ROG

I know why you didn't enter the poster with me in it, Pednaud.
It's because you would've had to share the winnin's and you are selfish. |
Nomistakinit, I just wanted to say I really loved your "The Blood Was the Color of Blood" entry. Everybody who voted for you picked different things, but that one was hilarious.
And I have to give honorable mention to Blue Gularis - "Pretentious" (which I did vote for) and Pidgeonraiser, which made me laugh, but the fact that it didn't spell "pigeon" correctly made me withhold a vote for it. |
Ok this just in from Fright Catalog:
