These works are by UK artist, Lizzie Campbell aka Clay Disarray, who says,

"Much of my personal work is inspired by my love of films, so I set about creating a collection of alternative movie posters reimagined with polymer clay & mixed media - or 'Polymer Posters' as they're affectionately called.

Although I've worked on a more general collection too, I enjoy working on horror posters a little more as it reminds me of trying to sneak a peek at horror movies as a child.

Too young to watch the films, I was left wondering what the scary characters might look like, with only the resources I had available to me… children's television!"

8-Bit Thing
Freelance VIdeogame designer, Paul Conway, gives us this beautiful 1990s Lucas Arts-style version of John Carpenter's THE THING.

Being that this is a Horror Thriller site, that's a comparison that casts a shadow. In 1997 I had no clue that, nearly 20 years later, those two men would lock horns over a legal dispute, with Luc Besson on the losing side of a matter he'd often been accused of throughout his cinematic history.

Still, the recent legal matter is resolved and their fight isn't my fight. Enemies often make up and become friends. In fact, John Carpenter is adept at gracefully burying the hatchet.

My point today is the awesomeness of THE FIFTH ELEMENT. Now matter how many times I watch it, it remains enjoyable. It broke actor Bruce Willis (THE 6TH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE, SIN CITY, PLANET TERROR), through a wall he'd tried and failed to break on his own. That of the wise-cracking action comedy hero.

It introduced us to Milla Jovovich before she spent the next two decades typecasting herself as the RESIDENT EVIL gal.

It took Chris Tucker's manic energy and inventiveness to a whole higher level: Possibly the highest he'll ever achieve.

This is how it went down -

I've had more thrills researching my bank statements.

Is there any ALIEN fan, or Horror Fan, or Thriller fan, or Science Fiction fan, out there who is getting gung-ho excited over 20th Century Fox' pasturized promos for ALIEN COVENANT?

I mean, yeah sure, don't overhype it and raise expectations to an unreasonable level, but this? This is Nyquil!

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. With three new movies hitting the numbers #2, #3, and #4, this timeless Young Adult Thriller drops from #3 to #6. Despite 7 weeks at the box office, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST has bounced back up before and it may again.

THE CIRCLE Enters the weekend box office Top Ten at #4. From Director and co-writer James Ponsoldt and co-writer Dave Eggers, based on the novel by Dave Eggers, THE CIRCLE stars Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, John Boyega, Patton Oswalt, Glenne Headly, and the late Bill Paxton

YOU BURIED IT
THE LOST CITY OF Z. In its third weekend and despite the addition of 252 screens, Z dropped from #10 to #12. This is now crunch time for distributor Bleeker Street, because despite getting an 88% from Rotten Tomatoes - Certified Fresh, and a 7 rank at IMDb, Z just doesn't have the screens to fend off new comers, let alone a heavyweight like GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2, which opens next weekend.

For modern audiences, if a movie is too difficult to find, they'll just wait for the home video. For indie movies with high critical and audience rankings, that's money left on the table.

UNFORGETTABLE, debuted last weekend at #7 with a satisfactory number of screens, yet you aren't digging its soap opera histrionics, as it dropped to #10 this week. With nearly three times as many screens as THE LOST CITY OF Z, but with poor critical and audience response, a bounce is unlikely.

DIG IT UP
SLEIGHT - Blumhouse Tilt distributors opened this $250,000 micro budget Science Fiction Thriller at #14 on only 565 screens. In only one weekend it returned nearly 8 times its budget at the box office.

COLOSSAL, added another 102 screens, which allowed it to hang at #20 for a second week. COLOSSAL is getting great critical and audience reviews and distributor NEON has marketed it well. But unless NEON can significantly add screens this weekend, COLOSSAL may be a missed opportunity.

PHOENIX FORGOTTEN debuted last week at #11 and accomplished a box office break even on few screens. As of Monday afternoon, its returns haven't come in yet, but BoxOffice Mojo and IMDb show it's still in play.

THE EYES in its fourth week jumped up to 49 while losing one screen. That's only 2 screens total and the Summer blockbusters are charging toward the gate.

THE DARK BELOW, in its second weekend, doubled its theatrical screens, giving it 2. Those two screens shot it up from #92 to #51.
