Above is a worldwide assortment of the creepiest posters we could find in honor of Halloween. Interestingly, Halloween is getting more popular internationally all the time. Where we live it was virtually ignored as recently as ten years ago, but nowadays it’s not a rarity to see both kids and adults dressed in costumes for the occasion. Trick-or-treating hasn’t quite taken hold, just because the layout of the communities don’t really allow for it, but adopting new personas or playing characters is something everyone seems to love, no matter where they live. Everyone likes a good scare, too, and these films do the job nicely. They are Halloween, Halloween again, Rosemary’s Baby, Zombie Holocaust, The Girl Who Knew Too Much, Squirm, Return of the Living Dead 2, The Shuttered Room, Evil Dead 2, Hellraiser, Suspiria, The Incredible Shrinking Man, Vampire Women, The Omen, The Thing, The Shining, Backwoods, Fright Night, and Seuseung-ui eunhye. Happy trick-or-treating. 

Below we have top-notch promo posters from South Korea for Seung-wan Ryoo’s actioner Jjackpae, aka City of Violence. The film is exactly what you’d expect from looking at the art—two men driven by vengeance fight their way through swarms of baddies until finally reaching the evil kingpin who caused all their troubles. But even if it’s the type of tale we’ve seen made by every director from Woo to Tarantino, it’s done with style and delivers a mighty nice kick. Jjackpae premiered in South Korea today in 2006.

Hang Mioku was an attractive girl in her twenties when she made the fateful decision to go under the surgeon’s scalpel to attain what cannot be attained—physical perfection. She had her first plastic surgery at the age of 28—and never stopped. Her face reacted poorly to the multiple procedures, and eventually her surgeon refused to operate again. But by then Mioku was a surgery addict and sought a doctor with fewer scruples. This one provided her with silicone and taught her to self-inject into her face with a syringe. The result is the wrecked visage you see above.

Mioku finally saw the error of her ways—though far too late. When her story became known, she was asked to appear on Korean television as a warning to other girls. She did, and the show produced an unexpected result—viewers sent in money to help Mioku get additional surgeries to reduce the size of her face.
