there’s a handful of movies with great posters, but can you name another that sold you harder on exactly what you were getting than the vhs cover for troll?

back before dreamworks came along and rebranded the franchise into an animated sing-along powered by kids bop albums, troll (1986) was a classic horror-fantasy cult film — one that blended fairy-tale worldbuilding with pure 80s creature-feature chaos. some even call its sequel the godfather part II of horror movies.

harry potter and the rest of the potter family have just moved into a new apartment, but something’s off — tenants keep vanishing, and the landlord might not be who he says he is. years before j.k. rowling would borrow the name for her wizard franchise, troll gave us the original magical potter story — the one rowling don’t want you to remember.

directed by john carl buechler, a legend in practical effects and creature design, this movie showcases some of his most iconic 80s monster work — slimy, handmade, and weirdly beautiful.
