POPSClassic Cinema Posters: 1960s Horror Hammer Horror is back from the dead. Thirty-two years after its last diabolical despatch from the dark side (Christopher Lee disgracing the cloth as a heretic priest in To the Devil… a Daughter), one of the most cherished franchises in British film history is about to return with Beyond the Rave, a blood-spattered tale of vampires on the rampage among hardcore dance fans. These posters represent some of the classic films by Hammer together with some directed by Roger Corman for API. Bonus poster featuring Spencer Tracy included.

POPSPolitical Worshippers Of The New Messiah
You Say You Want a Revolution_ Mark Steyn A few days ago, a local news team went to shoot some film at the Houston campaign headquarters for Obama. Behind the desks were posters of Che Guevara and Cuban flags. Needless to say, the news reporters were either indifferent to this curious veneration or too sensitive to mention it, and it was left to the right-wing extremist Roy Rogers fascists of the blogosphere to point it out. Do Obama’s volunteers even know who Che is? Apart from being a really cool guy on posters and T-shirts, like James Dean or Bart Simpson, I doubt it. They’re pseudo revolutionaries. But even so, to be born a U.S. citizen is, as Cecil Rhodes once said of England, to win first prize in the lottery of life. Not even Obama supporters want real revolution: your cities get torched, the economy collapses. Ask the many peoples around the world for whom revolution means not a lame-o Sixties poster above your desk but the carnage and horror of the day before yesterday.
