…and I choose, “None of the above.” Amazon is offering fans a very unique opportunity. I can’t think of a case study that exists that actually lets the mob at large determine the final printed product. Unfortunately, none of the three options that they present are very good. What you see there to the left is one of the three options. With the approaching release and fanfare of Fred Dekker’s cult classic, Night of the Creeps, the marketing machine is approaching the excited masses and addressing us, for the first time, as people in support of their effort, rather than a bunch of people who will, inevitably, give them our money. Praise be to that, but could we possibly get a better range of choices?

I know Sony did the same through Amazon with two of their boxed sets, including the upcoming Icons of Sci-Fi: Toho Collection. It’s a neat idea, but their cover options have tended to leave a lot to be desired.
I agree on the three selections not being at all impressive. When I saw the three selections I said, “Thats’ it?” I wish they would go more with some of the more popular old school art, maybe modernize it a tad, but mostly keep some the original Night of the creeps flavor. However, at least they are giving the fans a choice.
Agree that these are all pretty bad. Why can’t we just use the great original poster and tagline “The good news is your dates are here. The bad news is, they’re dead.”?
