what's up with the cover?


Ok, so I saw this movie as a part of a collection of old made for tv movies, but I saw the cover imdb.com has up for its picutre and I don't understand how it relates. It looks like a porn cover or something, which it really isn't. Any ideas?

reply

Maybe the person who designed the cover was on crack. Or they're trying to come up with new and exciting ways to sell old boring movies. If it looks like porn someone's going to buy it, right?

reply

there's a new book on amazon.com called TELEVISION FRIGHT FILMS OF THE 1970S that talks about this film.

reply

What does that have to do with cover? Does the book explain the cover? I'd like to know.

reply

Yeah, the cover art shown on IMDb makes it look like porn, probably by the video co. to dupe poor saps into thinking they're renting/buying porn!

They're awful. I've only seen a few of them, but have not desire to see the rest.

...unless you like super bad movies for their comic value.

Yes I agree with conifer825. They were all really bad, although I have to admit I only watched maybe 8 of them. I remember watching one called Snow Beast that had be rolling on the floor with laughter.

I think the box set I got actually had 50 movies, but it was in a blue box and it referenced "stars before they were famous."

This was in a set of 12, called "Tormented Souls", Brentwood Home Video, 2005.
It has a woman with a skull face on the cover. This is the best of the 3 I've seen so far (Cathy's Curse and Death at Love House were really trash). It's not bad and I didn't suspect it was made for TV. But very derivative of The Exorcist and others.

I got the same 'Tormented Souls’ in a box. The cover on the box is creepy with a ghostly blue/ white photo of a woman with a skull super imposed on her face. I like it better than that lascivious cover that IMDB stuck it with.

She became Satan’s Plaything???? What???

Mine came in "Nightmare Worlds". 50 movies. The cover for that box set has Tripod walkers like from War of the Worlds. Haven't found one movie even remotely related to that cover out of the 50. They put these movies into so many different collections if you buy enough 50 packs each one becomes more like a 10 pack because you have the rest of the movies elsewhere.

My copy has a pic of some kind of God thing pointing out of the clouds at some stoner types in a citrus grove. On the back of the box is some kind of flying machine towing a banner that says "Eat at Joes" or somthing like that cuz its hard to read. No matter what it shows or what it says this is rubbish nobody cares about. Worthless crap.

How shall the stars on the cheeks of this mandrill find a number?
