#1. Night of the Demons
This poster scared the bejesus out of me as a youngster, but I've grown to love it. Angela's Gorgon-esque monster makeup is absolutely stunning. That jagged set of fangs makes Jaws seem toothless by comparison; those long, lacquered nails look like chitinous insects crawling from the fingertips. The poster's tagline
opportunistically knocks the stars of the Friday the 13th and Nightmare and Elm Street movies, and concludes with an appropriately devilish double entendre. The conflagrant party invitation, though, is the best touch of all, assuring viewers that the festivities will take an infernal turn.
Reactions? Disagreements with my choices? Endorsements of posters that didn't make the Top 20 Countdown? Please feel free to share your thoughts in the Comments section of this post.
