Monster of the Day #3446

Not a fan of the movie (I generally detest Shane Black stuff), but this fan-made poster is dynamite. Just not the kind of dynamite that Dracula apparently would throw around. If the film caught a even bit more of the charm of this art, I'd like it a lot more.

Yes! Damn raccoons. They always get into the tombs, upend the caskets and toss all the bones on the ground.... Seriously, though, that is one terrific poster. Happy Friday, everyone. Watch something stupid this weekend. Heck, watch something stupid (but good stupid!) with us tonight at the first Watch Party of 2024.
