Cookie Cutter Custom Nightmare

Today's Sunday Matinee installment of the Horror Movie October graphic design calendar card series is the another fantastic film from Gremlins' Joe Dante, the 1989 Tom Hanks follow-up to The Money Pit, The 'Burbs. 

"The 'Burbs"

I love all of Joe Dante's films, but The 'Burbs is by far one of my favorites, and one of his most underrated films. Tom Hanks, Corey Feldman, and Bruce Dern shining through as the worst nosy neighbors of surburbia. 

In this piece I presented to contrast of the warm veneer that suburbia presents itself with against the drab depressive undertones it can often carry because of its lack of personality. I also used squares to represent housing units that create a claustrophobia. 

Check out the trailer. Then hunt down the film. 

As always there is more to come...
