The worst dvd covers of all time

Not exactly the ugliest cover but I feel the need to rant about it. WTF were they thinking when the decided to update the Monster Squad DVD cover? They basically made up some Harry Potter-Esque character that doesn't even appear in the film. If you had never seen this movie and just judged it on the cover you would not be thinking 80s movie. Here's a mock up cover someone did so fans could insert it and the crappy re-make.

looks like something i might find on Lifetime or the Hallmark Channel.

tim robbins can see into morgan freeman's MIND. also, the pic of the guy in the rain is clearly NOT Tim Robbins.

I agree, I was pissed with the new cover.

I really hate the dvd cover for No Country For Old Men, but I love the fucking movie to death.

I like the poster a lot better.

I was duped by the cover into renting this atrocity:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372311/

It looks like a lesser known, but still serviceable crime/mystery/police drama that should be made watchable merely by Morgan Freeman's presence, right? Wrong. He appears for maybe 3 minutes and the rest of the movie (i.e. 97% of it) is a ghetto gangland ripoff that looks like a student film project. I'm not exaggerating.

Morgan Freeman has less screentime in this movie than Bruce Campbell had in Congo. Every one of his shots (and probably his every line of ~~dialogue~~ voiceover) is in the trailer though. And at least Bruce Campbell's face did not take up half the Congo cover.

I almost think they tricked him into thinking he was filming a commercial or PSA. Or he lost a bet, right after getting caught on video blowing a donkey.

So it's not the shittiest cover, except that it is an outright farce that caused me to watch one of the worst movies ever. That tagline must be an ironic in-joke by the marketing assholes responsible.
