Monster of the Day #2086

A Japanese poster for Ghosthouse! Ha! It sure makes the film look a lot better than it is.

    Okay, that poster would have made me go see the movie!

    Still haven’t seen it. I think it’s on YouTube so there’s really no reason I shouldn’t- other than being awful that is.

  • Beckoning Chasm

    Is she holding a cell phone?

  • Gamera977

    In her left hand? I couldn’t tell, I thought it was a Sony Walkman at first, then some sort of tape (too big for a cassette tape and too small for a VHS or Beta tape though). Maybe someone who’s seen it will know.

    Rifftrax version highly recommended.

    Can’t recall anything like that. There was an axe. I also do not remember who is more popular in Denver, Kim Basinger or Kelly LeBrock.

  • I thought it was very, very dumb, but enjoyed it. You could do worse. Like Zombie Lake. Or Pieces.

    Ugh. Pieces

  • Wade Harrell

    Wow, that is SO much better than the movie! I wonder if some young Japanese filmmaker went to that movie and came out angry, but inspired to make a movie that actually lived up to that poster!

    An audio tape recording and it’s recorder play into the plot, such as it is, although the little ghost girl never uses it, so why she’s holding it in the poster is anybody’s guess.

  • In fairness, pretty much any poster would be better than the movie was.
