Does anybody remember movie novelizations? They’ve made a bit of a comeback in recent history, but whoo boy was I a fan of them back in the ’80s. Of course, as an adult that love has turned into nostalgia, and to this day, my Lost Boys novelization holds a prominent location on my bookshelf. But I’m not the only one with a soft spot for those books, because over at Spacesick they have won my heart by creating the “I Read Movies” series. Granted, these books don’t exist (and how I wish they did), but you have to love these retro covers they’ve created for everything from Shaun of The Dead to Ghost Dad.
We do plenty of poster launches around here, but sometimes it seems like we just don’t see the same effort being put into our movie one-sheets like we used to. You know you’re in trouble when fictional book covers are more impressive than your average studio marketing campaign. But before I start to sound too much like a crotchety grandpa, I’m going to focus on the positive and that’s where the fans come in. Take a look around and you’ll see some pretty awesome work being done, so we can only hope that some of that creativity rubs off on actual studio releases.
Check out some of our favorites in the gallery below.

Hot Internet Ideas: I usually file a tax extension but now I am finally finished. I was wondering how long does it take to get tax refund back because I need the tax refund money as soon as possible!
