9 Great Posters for 9 Not-So-Great Movies (that I Haven't Seen) If you missed it, yesterday I explored 11 great posters from 11 not-so-great movies, and I promised today I would take a slightly different angle at the same idea. Yesterday's 11 posters were for films I had seen, today's collection come from nine films I have never seen and I can't take full credit for this list. After I had compiled a list of my own I reached out to a few friends and one of them provided me a Ton of suggestions, several of which I had never seen. David Frank, who used to provide content on a regular basis for me, is a big poster buff and of the nine posters here, he suggested seven of them. As for the other two, well, I'll explain below and perhaps in too much detail on one of them. This list also differs from my...

Ray Austin's 1972 British horror exploitation film Virgin Witch gets a Blu-ray release today from Redemption. The story follows two sisters who head to a country manor for a fashion photo shoot and end up recruited by a coven of witches — led by a lascivious lesbian and a pervy doctor. The film's home entertainment release inspired us to look back on several of horror cinema's sexiest witches that hail from the same era. The '60s and '70s occult craze created a coven of memorably seductive sorceresses, which you can become acquainted with past the break. Leave us your picks below. Daughters of Satan Tom Selleck's pants are so tight his head might explode and Barra Grant can't act her...

Antisocial Behavior (2007)
Directed by Vinson Pike
Ever since a traumatic accident when he was a child, Jakob Kelser has been alone, shunning the outside world and ignoring everyone who tries to connect with him.

Fully remastered in high def and featuring...
