The choice with the various panels is excellent.
Can't wait to see the others.

Don't really like that either, Argento is not exploitation, never has been! Don't get me wrong that scene with Irene Miracle is nice, but it's more sensual and erotic than exploitative. Sure a cover like that is ok for some lurid giallo by Martino or Lenzi but not Argento. But to each their own

Fair do's, you can swap the cover around, but I didnt think I'd see covers like that in 2010. It's like Benny Hill directed a horror movie.

I'll start a whip round to get you a new set of crayons, if you like.

I'm not even going to ask why this is on DVD and Caligula is on Bluray. Crazy times!

I have no problems with the arse at all.

Like Steve though, I don't dig that Inferno font at all. It looks like a seedy motel sign to me...

I have go towards the haters for the cover too. I like the artwork and all that but the actual pairing with Inferno is bad.

Sorry!
I love Rick's other work but this is really taking the p*ss...it's the most HIDEOUS artwork I have ever seen...and for anybody else that likes it all I can say is what you on?...TOTALLY a misrepresentation of a classic of horror/Italian cinema...if you go with this cover expect a very probable web (& print) bashing...It makes the Cine Excess tagline Taking Trash Seriously look classy...it makes the movie look like cheap sexploitation...if it goes with this cover there is a definite lost sale from me...I'll stick with my AB & Italian Fox releases

Sorry but I think it's absolutely dreadful. One of the worst covers I've seen for some time and completely irrelevant to the film.
