Adam Perocchi calls himself “the artist of things” on Instagram. And that broad moniker appears to be true especially if you see the array of collectibles he has made on his eBay page.
Recently on his Instagram; handle called readfulthings, the artist posted some illustrations that seem familiar, but a little off:
“I’ve been making these Fright Night style poster things lately – not for any particular reason, it’s just fun,” he wrote.

It didn’t take long for his followers to commend him on his creativity. They even threw out some pitches of movies they would like to see made into Fright Night posters.
“All of these are so freaking cool my friend. Please make more! Maybe Shaun of the Dead, The Frighteners, Young Frankenstein, Casper, Dracula, Pumpkinhead, and/or Child’s Play?” one poster asked.
“Can’t wait to see a Nightmare on Elmstreet (sic) version!” exclaimed another.
And the suggestions just kept coming: “Can you do The Shining? And then can I buy it?”
“Make one for Return of the living dead 2 ;)”
Here is the original 1986 one-sheet for Fright Night (1985):
You will notice that the Barbarian image is spoiler-free since revealing it would ruin the movie for some. “Thank you for the ‘no spoilers’ sticker. Very thoughtful. And brilliant posters,” replied happyembalmer.
Although some people aren’t a fan of the original movie, Perocchi’s subscribers appear to love the concept, “Such an awesome idea, and *brilliant* execution. The Halloween and the Psycho ones are my favorite,” wrote astro.toaster.
Perocchi admits that it’s “just fun” making these clever mockups. Some of his fans are asking to buy prints. We at iHorror, unfortunately, couldn’t find any on sale through his eBay store. But you can enjoy them here and while you’re at it, check out his shop. He has got a few neat things such as a Halloween and Halloween III action figure up for bids.
