Back in February I shared a photo of the awesome movie poster the folks over at Skuzzles.com had created for The Amityville Horror. The trend continues with this work of art from Odd City Entertainment.
Gorgeous isn’t it? Both posters celebrate the 2005 remake and like the one from Skuzzles it glows in the dark, and I think I like the alternate version a little better.
