Last week I posted my Buffy The Vampire Slayer custom slipcover. I figured I would jump right in with another Vampire classic that suffered from Twilightization. To be fair, Near Dark had some fairly strong romance elements but the blu-ray cover is obviously trying to cash in on Twilights success. Let's take a look at the studio's Photoshop job shall we?
Hmmmm, that looks familiar
I mean, that's pretty bad. Near Dark may have some cheesy over the top romance elements but Twilight it isn't. Needless to say, I was ready to cover that up. For the first side I couldn't find a high res Image of the original movie poster but I found a very similar production photo of Bill Paxton and slapped on the Near Dark logo. I like it but if I find the original poster art in high res format I may make a new one.
For the other side I chose an incredible piece of fan art by the wonderfully talented Mark Drummond.
I decided to stick with Mark Drummond's incredible artwork for the spine. I think it turned out rather nicely overall. Feel free to let me know what you think about the movie or my slipcover below. I'm always happy to get feedback and engage in conversation. Thanks for stopping by!
