13 8mm And SUPER 8 HOME MOVIES With HORROR And SCI-FI BOX ART

I started with a few older titles, like this one, THE DEVIL BAT, starring our main guy, Bela Lugosi. Wow, what a great example of box art, just imagine monster kids in 1962 at the store going through the titles, talk about a goldmine of fun! As far as I remember, they were edited down to about 7-8 minutes, showing all the best parts.

Here's another one starring Bela, an example of great artwork from the graphics department for MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE, the horror monster show!

This FRANKENSTEIN artwork is really intriguing, so simple with that red background setting the whole thing off, nice.

And we have 1 MILLION B. C. starring Lon Chaney and Victor Mature as cavemen, sprinkled with prehistoric monsters to battle with.

This INVADERS FROM MARS artwork is so deceiving... First of all, the leader in the jar ain't that creepy. Secondly, look at those mutants, what the Hell man, that ain't the ones I remember! Thirdly, what's up with those flying saucers?! Hey, there was only ONE saucer, dude! And hey, that ain't what they look like, dummkoph. They got the people right though.

Then we have MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD, but the artwork is totally weak compared to what they could have created. It's even from United Artists!

Now, THE SPIDER box art kicks ass, definitely one I'd want in my collection, if I had one.

The box art here for THE GIANT BEHEMOTH is very attractive, good job!

Man, this is another very fine example of eye catching 8 mm movie box art. As a monster kid, how could you not want to add this one to your collection!

FRANKENSTEIN 1970 is retitled for this Castle Films release, and the box art looks great!

THE CLAW MONSTRERS is a TV movie from 1966, it is the edited movie version of the Republic serial, PANTHER GIRL OF THE CONGO, on the screens in 1955. Great artwork.

Wow, here's some more eye catching box art for THE GIANT CLAW, another title I'd love to have in my imaginary collection of 8 mm home movies!

I saved BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE for last because it's so funky, I love it! The best part is that it has the very best version of The Beast I've ever seen! There you go, some eye candy to feed your brain on a Friday, here at The Dungeon!!
