Feb 12 2008AM Poster Post: 'Clive Barker's Book of Blood' Poster
It's tempting to compare any writing-on-skin poster to those that have already been done--like when Lou Reed and Jim Carrey found their faces similarly covered in ink--but in the case of Cliver Barker's Book of Blood, I'll have to let it slide. Looking at the source material (Clive Barker's Book of Blood, obviously), it turns out the story actually involves ghosts carving ghost stories into a man's flesh, making both the poster and its tagline stupidly appropriate. The bigger issue is that there isn't a ghost with a penknife standing behind him, writing in giant letters, "THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENS."

I can't believe a ghost didn't just draw a penis into him.
