What movie is this?

Post by pinback »

This is a thing you can buy that has the alphabet styled with the logo of various "classic" horror movies. We're struggling with "A". Anyone know what "A" is?

I posted it on Twitter and a bunch of people said Alien/Aliens. I don't think they're right. I'll do some digging.

It's definitely not Alien/Aliens. Or AVP. I'm so confused.

EDIT: I mean, I get it, Alienses are known for the A without the line through it, BUT all the other characters on that sheet appear to have been directly copy/pasted from the movie they're from (or posters of the movie), not "kinda like it". So I still feel like it has to be something else, because no Alien thing looks exactly like that.

Well, I guess it is Alien. Here is a screencap of the opening credits, AS the right-hand-side of the A is fading in. Pretty obscure, but kinda cool, too:

The only one I recognize out of all of those is the O. It's "The Omen."

Yeah, I guess so. I was looking at the AVP thing, too.

BTW, your images are not showing up for me (I have to copy the link and manually paste it into a new tab). Anyone else?

i just thought it was a template kidnappers used to create ransom notes. That, or a Font Control Sheet for Comic Sans.
Given the general rise in expenses and fall in the typical standard of living, the future ain't what it used to be.
