Dude's got an axe! He's gonna chop up movie posters! Aaaaahh! Lionsgate has overlayed images of scary, animal-masked killers on posters for some of its non-horror releases—such as Tyler Perry's Temptation and Peeples, and the Robert De Niro vehicle The Big Wedding—to promote its upcoming slasher flick You're Next. If you look at the posters, you can see a ghostly maniac poised to strike. It's a pretty freaky effect. Some folks might run screaming from theaters as fast as they can.
