As a company, we’re rooted in genre film. We're just a motley monster squad who loves to watch and talk about movies. When October rolls around, a shiver runs down our backs as we get to highlight so many of the films that we love so much.

This week we’ve got new posters for two titles that tick that box: TRICK ‘R TREAT and BUBBA HO-TEP.

While John Carpenter fairly definitively crafted one of the ultimate Halloween horror film back in 1978, there’s no denying Michael Dougherty did the same, with an absolute love letter to the traditions, both new and old, in TRICK 'R TREAT. Spanning several seemingly disparate tales, the film has since become a tried-and-true staple of any quality Halloween horror marathon. Just like Dougherty’s film, Leslie Herman has crafted an awesome tribute to this modern classic ... and our favorite pumpkin-headed keeper of tradition: Sam.

Next up we’ve got a great new poster for another horror (with a little comedy, for good measure) gem from the early '00s: Don Coscarelli’s BUBBA HO-TEP, with beautiful new art by Randy Ortiz. Featuring Bruce Campbell as “Elvis” and Ossie Davis as “JFK,” the film follows these two men as they endeavor to defeat a re-animated Egyptian mummy (the titular “Bubba Ho-Tep”) from terrorizing an East Texas nursing home where they reside. This movie rules, and deftly balances horror, comedy, and a surprising amount of poignancy. If you haven’t seen it, consider rotating this one into your watchlist during this horror season.

Years ago, Randy blew us away with his poster for Coscarelli’s other horror staple, PHANTASM, and we were really excited to see him follow that up with BUBBA HO-TEP.

These posters will both be available on Thursday, October 6 at 11AM CT on The Drop at mondoshop.com.
