TROLL VERSION 2 (VHS COVER) Hoodie - Design Description
A Slice of Cult Horror History
This hoodie design captures the essence of a rare and highly sought-after artifact: the "Version 2" VHS cover of Troll 2. It's a visual homage to the film's legacy, specifically focusing on the alternate artwork that often graced the covers in various markets.
Menacing Imagery
The central element of the design is the iconic image of the menacing troll or goblin. This creature, with its extended claws, represents the film's attempt to portray itself as a darker horror experience, regardless of its original campiness. Its reaching claws create a sense of unease, pulling the viewer into the movie's terrifying (and often unintentionally hilarious) world.
Atmospheric Setting
The design incorporates the typical dark forest or foggy night background, setting a mood of mystery and dread. This evokes the atmosphere that these alternative covers often strove for, creating a visual contrast with the film's comedic qualities and adding a layer of ironic symbolism.
Title Typography
The bold, stylized "TROLL 2" text, in either striking red or green, anchors the design. It's a direct reference to the different ways the movie was branded across borders and indicates the alternative nature of these covers. The style, whether rendered as "TROLL II" or "TROLL - VERSION 2," acts as a visual signifier, hinting at the film's status as a cult classic.
Symbolism
The design is a celebration of the film's enduring popularity and the unique artistic choices made during the VHS era. It embodies the essence of exploitation horror, showcasing the attempt to sell a cult movie as something more mainstream. Furthermore, it represents the collector's desire to own a piece of rare movie history.
