"24x36: A Movie About Movie Posters" is a documentary that explores the world of illustrated movie poster art; the artists who create it, companies and studios that commission it, galleries that display it and collectors and fans who hang it. Through interviews with a number of key art personalities from the '70s and '80s, as well as many modern, alternative poster artists -- "24x36" aims to answer the questions: What happened to the illustrated movie poster? Where did it disappear to and why? In the mid 2000s, filling the void left behind by Hollywood's abandonment of illustrated movie posters, independent artists and galleries began selling limited edition screenprinted posters. This movement has quickly exploded into a multi-million dollar industry, with prints selling out online in seconds, inspiring Hollywood studios to take notice of illustration in movie posters once more. "24x36" explores this birth, death and resurrection of the illustrated movie poster. This Blu-ray features surround sound, English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired and bonus material including "Poster Posse" and the official "24x36" trailer.

Description

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s. Inspired by his vivid dreams of flying through space and elaborate electrical grids, and fueled by comic books and classic sci-fi, 8th-grader Ben fantasizes about a way to explore the Universe. When his friend Wolfgang manages to build a matching circuit board from Ben's hazily-sketched diagrams of his dreams, the board eerily begins to program itself, resulting in precisely the technology they need to secretly cobble together a real spacecraft in a backyard. Along with their friend Darren, they venture out of suburbia and blast into the cosmos seeking whatever alien life they can find — perhaps even something which was reaching out to them all along. A sentimental adventure of childhood wonder and the regenerative cycle of pop culture (and B-movies), which links '80s childhoods to the fantasy of '50s sci-fi, Joe Dante's EXPLORERS shows the Piranha director's unique skill in blending genres. Featuring childhood film debuts from Ethan Hawke (Dead Poets Society) and River Phoenix (Sneakers), with Robert Picardo (The Howling) and, naturally, Dick Miller (Gremlins), it also boasts extensive use of a broad range of effects by Rob Bottin and visuals from Industrial Light & Magic, as well as an epic score by Jerry Goldsmith (Alien).

It's 1962, and fifteen-year-old fan Gene Loomis (Simone Fenton) can't wait for the arrival of Woolsey, who is in town to promote his latest offering of atomic power gone berserk, Mant!

In the twisted tradition of classic anthology horror films such as TALES FROM THE CRYPT, CREEPSHOW and BLACK SABBATH, TRAPPED ASHES features stories of the surreal, macabre and bizarre, helmed by five of Hollywood's most unique directors: Joe Dante (GREMLINS, THE HOWLING), Ken Russell (ALTERED STATES, THE DEVILS), Monte Hellman (TWO-LANE BLACKTOP), Sean Cunningham (FRIDAY the 13th), and John Gaeta (Academy Award winner, Visual Effects on THE MATRIX) - and produced & written by Deaf Crocodile's own Dennis Bartok! Seven strangers (including legendary character actors John Saxon and Henry Gibson) are trapped inside an infamous Roger Corman/AIP-style House of Horrors during a Hollywood movie studio tour and forced to confess their most disturbing personal memories. In Ken Russell's The Girl with Golden Breasts, a struggling actress (Rachel Veltri) decides to get gel implants made from reprocessed human cadavers - with monstrous results for her and her boyfriend (Jayce Bartok). In Sean Cunningham's Jibaku, an unhappily married woman (Lara Harris) and her architect husband (Scott Lowell) have a nightmarish encounter with a dead monk on a visit to Japan. In Monte Hellman's Stanley's Girlfriend (Official Selection, 2006 Cannes Film Festival), two ambitious young filmmakers become unlikely friends in 1950s Hollywood: Leo (Tahmoh Penikett), writer of sadistic B-pictures like The Strangler, and a soon-to-be-famous director named Stanley Kubrick (Tygh Runyan). When they both fall in love with the same enigmatic woman (Amelia Cooke), it unleashes a decades-long mystery involving desire and celluloid. And in John Gaeta's My Twin, The Worm, a young Goth woman (Michele-Barbara Pelletier) reveals the horrific, Cronenberg-like tale of the inhuman twin that grew alongside her in her mother's womb.
