Read This: Comparing original movie posters to their remake counterparts

The graphic designer behind the blog Retinart created a four-part series pitting original movie posters against the posters for their remakes. The series looks at 50 movies for a total of 100 posters, focusing on the theatrical versions of the posters shown on Wikipedia. Following each side-by-side comparison, the designer provides a short but thoughtful analysis of the design strengths and weaknesses of each version.

The writer observes that in the case of most of the horror movies on the list, the remakes are usually better than the originals.
