If there is a god....he's a right bastard!

They say it never rains as much as it pours and after last weeks facebook drama my computer died on me.....typical.

Thankfully most of my sleeve scans were backed up and only a few lost, so as soon as I get back online I'll start posting again, until then, keep the faith and keep watching crap horror films with even worse sleeves!

I'm not a happy bunny

Due to Facebook being mindless, humourless, arseholes of the highest order my account has temporarily been disabled, which in turn means the blog's Facebook page has all but bloody vanished....

Obviously the blog was alive before it went on facebook and it's no excuse for the lack of up-dates beyond the fact all my spare time has been spent e-mailing the sods or seething with rage.

Hopefully normality can be restored and all the fans on the facebook page aren't gone and I can get the old blog back on track.

To all keep you going until I can sit down and sort out a nice proper crap entry, here's a little something for you....

Check out these heavy metal dreamboats.

Thanks to Paul Higson for the scan.


edit: It's all back and running in order, there must be a god. :D

Thanks to everyone who's helped me out with the blog and everyone else for taking the time to listen to me rant about bad art.

Pubic Lice.

Satan's Altar - 1981

UK Release

Aka

Murder Syndrome, Follia omicida, The Wailing

Beautiful isn't it? It looks like a mirkin(pubic wig) to put politely or to be honest and ever so crude, it looks like a big massive hairy lady garden. With a face and teeth and horns. It's basically a big pubic hair monster that has the face of an evil baboon. 

IMDb / DVD
 

Once again thanks to George for the sleeve.

Dripping wet pussy

La noche de los mil gatos - 1972

Mexican Release

AKA

Night Of A 1000 Cats

Wet dripping pussy jokes aside, this has to be one of the most bizarre sleeves I've seen.

Blood dripping with a cat's face and a helicopter and the proverbial frightened woman.

 I'm not sure this is crap as much as it's just plain weird and out there. 

All in all a very "special" bit of artwork.

IMDb / DVD

(For all my fellow Brits this one can be had for a mere £3 via the above link, with a cover this weird it's gotta be worth a punt)

Massive thanks to George/Karamurat for the sleeve. More to follow from George's awesome Mexican tape collection.

Also would like to say thank you to the lovely comments and  fan mail I've received recently. The fact that other people enjoy me writing silly stuff about even sillier sleeves makes this all worth while. Thank you for the kind words and support.

Rotten to the core...

 

Hardcore - 1977

UK Release

Sex sells, right? Fiona Richmond sold sex, the whole premise of a porn film is to sell sex to the male masses..etc 

So then why when marketing a sex film with Fiona Richmond, called Hardcore, would you make the women on the cover LOOK SO BLOODY UGLY!?!?!?! ARE YOU A STUPID PERSON MR SLEEVE DESIGNER? 

And the tits could have been bigger, not that I'm any sort of porn packaging expert but pretty ladies with massive tits are surely a good selling point? Not 3 ugly dogs and a sweaty apple core.....Yeah that bit of top notch humour/word play didn't go unnoticed..get it, apple core and hardcore....for fucksake..

Thanks to Scotty for the scan.
