Matt Reeves’ remake of Let the Right One In comes out on October 1st, and if there’s one thing we can say for the marketing, it’s that there’s no shortage of movie posters, beginning with the concept posters and working their way through the international and the final prints. I rarely even notice movie posters, but that I’ve seen so many of them for this movie, and that I’ve remembered them has to say something. I don’t know what that is, and certainly not that it must mean the final product is good. But, at least their keeping the movie poster makers employed.

I think I'd rank them 2, 1, 4, 6, 8, 3, 7, 5... but that's really just splitting hairs. For the most part, they are pretty dope.

Still, for me, the best movie posters (or, one-sheets) of the last decade have been the embryonic Children of Men and the Joker-behind-the-glass for The Dark Knight. Moon's lone Sam Rockwell amidst a spiral and the Drew Sturzan Mist poster, too. I appreciate it when posters have their own messages, besides just promoting their flicks, and a couple of these Let Me In ones definitely have that.

Poster #2: Somebody got their period.

Where's the one with a golden castle turret shaped like a penis? Damn you, Disney!

#2:

Everytime a vampire child kills, an angel gets its period.

I liked #2 the best until I read the comments and now...yep, can't unsee it. It's a great idea, but the placement of the blood splatters is just unfortunate.

I call bullshit. Being a vampire deosn't allow you to make snow angels without leaving that unsightly ridge between your legs.

Eight posters? Must have been an indecisive judge for the ad competition.

You win a poster! You win a poster! You win a poster! You win a poster! You win a poster! You win a poster! You win a poster! And you win a poster!

"Innocence Dies. Abby Doesn't."

Is there really a need for a lame tag line? How about we just let the creepy visuals do the work, ok?

Also, they changed her name to "Abby"? How... chilling.

I like number six. It took me a second to figure out why it caused me to do a double-take.

She leaves no footprints.

@jollies....Actually, she does leave footprints (but maybe not in this version). In the original, the cops studied her footprints which hinted at an unusually long stride.

I guess they took out the "castrated boy mistaken for girl" part-- americans like their vampires straight
