Heads Up: Oliver Barrett's "Cujo II" Movie Poster

I last wrote about Strange Kids Club's fantastic "what if" poster series in mid-October. And here we are, not even a full month later, with yet another killer print. Following Nathan Milliner's inspired The Burning 2 artwork, SKC hooked up with artist Oliver Barrett to celebrate the rabid, drool-covered sequel that never was. That's right, I'm talking about Cujo. More specifically, I'm talking about Cujo II. I mean, who wouldn't want to see a film with a tagline like, "More Dogs. More Rabies." Right? I rest my case. While there's a decent amount to highlight here, my favorite element in the poster has to be the eyeball in the dog's mouth. No contest. Here's what Oliver had to say about designing this print:

"Cujo appealed to me because it's one of those few horror films that still holds up to this day. While a rabid dog wreaking havoc on a small family is pretty outlandish, I could put myself in that situation and be terrified of a giant [bloodthirsty] St. Bernard. A sequel would have been equally outlandish, so that helped me make the decision to put together this bunch of rabid pups."

I can relate. Granted, chances of my Shih Tzu - Terrier mix going all "Cujo" on me anytime soon are slightly more outlandish than Cujo II becoming a reality.

Poster Per Diem: Nathan Thomas Milliner's "The Burning 2" Movie Poster

If you visit this site with any regularity, you already know I tend to write reviews for film and television inspired prints that are either currently on sale or are about to go on sale. And while I'll still be pouring the majority of my efforts into those sorts of posts, my daily "Poster Per Diem" feature will focus on awesome prints that have since sold out, never existed in the first place (AKA concept posters) or just bear mentioning. In other words: this is my chance to say, "I never got a chance, for whatever reason, to write about you on this here website, but I think you're really purty and I want to let the world know." Or something like that. Oh, and Per diem is latin for "per day" or "each day."

Remember that time in The Burning 2 when Cropsey was chasing Jamie Lee Curtis, gardening shears in hand, trying to kill her? I mean really trying to cut her up bad. Oh yeah, and I think Ernest Borgnine ran the summer camp where it all took place. You remember that, right? And if memory serves, the film played briefly during the summer of 82, but only really found success as a cult classic years later. Wait, wait. Never mind. I'm fairly positive I just made all that stuff up based off of the information included in the image above. You see, the twisted mind behind Strange Kids Club, a site you should probably visit immediately, recently announced a limited poster series that celebrates some of his favorite lesser known horror movie sequels (and by "lesser known," I mean "non-existant.") Now you've got it! The above print, created by artist Nathan Thomas Milliner, is a loving "what if" commissioned by a truly devoted horror fan and is currently available for purchase for $35. Head over strangekidsclub.com to get yours now. And to see more of Milliner's terror inspired art, stop everything you're doing and visit rebelrouserart.com. You'll be glad you did!
