"The best thing about the worst movie posters is that they are the product of laziness. Posters exist to promote, and, thus, with all that money on the line, one has a certain expectation of professionalism and salesmanship, a creativity of marketing. But the worst movie posters, why they're so fun, is marketing gone awry in the name of sloth. Bad movie posters happen, mostly, because someone stopped trying."
Ok, we get it, they were trying to make it outrageous for 1977's movie Outrageous!, but couldn't they come up with something better than this rotated title?
Awesome cast, but what's that awful smiling sun doing in 1986 One Crazy Summer's poster?
How else would you make a poster for a movie about talking dolphins trying to kill the President of the United States? There wasn't much chance for 1973 The Day of the Dolphin to avoid our list.
"Father and son, related by blood... everybody's blood!" How can such brilliant idea go wrong? Grave of the Vampire is a cheaply-made 70s movie, so the color is kind of washed out, and everyone in it is in desperate need of a haircut.
Where do we start with this one? Son of Dracula (1974) features Harry Nilsson as the Son of Dracula, and Ringo Starr as Merlin the Magician. Most of the human race had never seen it until it surfaced at YouTube some 30+ years after it was made:
In what proved to be one of her lowest-grossing films ever, Barbra Streisand starred Up the Sandbox, a 1972 movie that involved, among other things, armed robbery, tribal fertility music, a terrorist plot to blow up the Statue of Liberty... and one of the ugliest movie posters ever made.
Imagine that they spent a fortune to make movies and then nothing left to spend on posters? You gotta be kidding me. Hahaha. Most of these posters, quoted as the among the Worst Movie Posters of all time, are old movies. You think that there's no more in the present. Guess what...You are wrong!!
I actually agree with the comments about these bad posters. I know that to produce a good poster design that bring some message is NOT easy...you have to have reasons for everything on the poster. Especially when you represent something that has brands or names, you are under evaluation! Suddenly I feel so lucky that I am not in the place of the designer of any of these posters cos if I were, it would be a nightmare to be seeing my artwork in some blog under the topic of The Worst Movie Posters of All Times. Hahahahaha.
NOTE: The movies have to be sooo good to make we forget about the sucky posters... *Lols
And the latest addition is...
getting a review that this poster is made by a 8-years old!! Hahahahaha. The funniest thing is the description for the poster is "It's A Talking Crotch". It made me laugh.
