Here's the 3D cover art for Night of the Living Dead. Looks like they'll be going with that overlapping "C" after all...

Is that just a slip for the plastic case or a digipak cover?

Night of the Living Dead and Silence of the Lambs will both be digipacks

That’s great to hear, though I know not many would share my enthusiasm for digipaks.

Exactly! Another reason I like digipaks is for thicker (most of the time perfect-bound) booklets.

There have been some beautiful Eclipse color schemes, but that one may be one of the best.

Good covers, all. Even the requisite "classic film gets a cartoon cover" for Awful Truth.

So, the girl with the Swedish flag sitting on the crescent moon had nothing to do with Ingmar Bergman.

A crescent moon does not in any way resemble an Eclipse.

I feel like the Parajanov cover is kind of a spoiler - now I already know what color the pomegranates are.

First, finally it joins the ranks! Makes me so freaking happy!

Second, yours was probably a sarcastic remark but it is supposed to be about the color of (the poet’s) blood, poetically described as of the pomegranates because the fruit has a great cultural significance in that part of the world.

I suppose better a poet's blood than all the Hebrew and Arab poetry which relates it to a woman's genitals.

Also matches the previous Ingrid Bergman releases, which took me far too long to notice.

I do like that the colour scheme of the Virgin Suicides cover seems to fit nicely together with the Picnic At Hanging Rock one!
