White Zombie movie poster

Reason: Excellent copy of a visually striking poster for a well-known horror film. Target article has GA status. There were attempts to promote this image twice before, but those were over a decade ago and had low community input. Criticisms at the time included slight flaws (which were then fixed in a restoration pass) and aesthetic opinions of the poster itself. I don't think either of those is a definitive "no", especially with so few votes, so I wanted to try again.

Comment – @Chris Woodrich, Yann – I didn't catch this before, but this version of the poster is cropped from a version with a wide white border, as can be seen in the prior version. It seems like the only thing that was lost was a notice that said "Printed in U. S. A.", but the border didn't really have anything wrong with it, either. Do you prefer the current, cropped version or the version with the border? Moonreach (talk) 20:03, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I prefer the one with the white border, as that was how posters were made at the time. Only thing is we may end up with edit warriors who prefer the non-bordered version. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:27, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Moonreach (talk) 20:59, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  I'd blame autocorrect, but I was on PC. Just worried that someone may revert war. Crisco 1492 mobile (talk) 23:57, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  I'm unclear on the procedure for marking things as derivatives when uploading modified files, but if you uploaded your last version of the poster as a new file and proposed it as an alt then we'd have both and people could choose. Moonreach (talk) 14:46, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with or without the border. It doesn't matter much to me. Yann (talk) 17:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~I would support a version with the border~~, but I'm less keen on the edited version. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:45, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I too would support a version with the original border. Borders are common when it comes to movie posters. Bammesk (talk) 19:36, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Josh Milburn and Bammesk. Based on the consensus here, I have reverted to the bordered version. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:36, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support the (original) bordered version. Bammesk (talk) 20:43, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support the version with the border. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:47, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also support the version with the border. Moonreach (talk) 16:16, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It might benefit from a slight sharpening, otherwise, I'd Support Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 11:58, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
