For a bit of fun I decided to create this non-commissioned alternate poster for the recent movie The Cabin In The Woods…
I’m a huge fan of the original Evil Dead movies and also of Joss Whedon’s oeuvre and The Cabin In The Woods is pretty much the perfect mesh of the two; so it’s now one of my new all-time favorite horror movies. I actually really like the existing poster for the movie, but after seeing some recent poster remakes by my friend Bizhan, I decided I needed to try one of my own.
Without giving away the secrets of this great film, I really wanted to represent the dichotomy of the story, which is revealed in the first scene and plays like something out of The Office rather than a typical horror movie.
I hope if they ever decide to create a Criterion Collection edition of The Cabin In The Woods, they’ll consider this for the cover art…
