New ‘Freaky Tales’ Poster by Tom Ralston Bets on the Underdog

The new poster for Freaky Tales designed by Tom Ralston reminds you to always bet on the underdog.

A pulpy blend of explosive action, edgy humor, gory kills, and sly twists, the genre-bending anthology hits theaters on April 4 from Lionsgate.

Executive produced by hip-hop pioneer Too $hort, the film is written and directed by Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck (Captain Marvel, It’s Kind of a Funny Story).

Set in 1987 Oakland, Freaky Tales is a multi-track mixtape of colorful characters — an NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teen punks, neo-Nazis, and a debt collector — on a collision course in a fever dream of showdowns and battles.

The ensemble cast includes Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis, Normani, Dominique Thorne, Jack Champion, Ji-young Yoo, Angus Cloud, and Tom Hanks.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Sundance, ” There’s a bombastic charm to Freaky Tales that captures the essence of ‘80s action and genre cinema in a way that few manage. Its delightfully twisted and sometimes self-indulgent humor will be off-putting for some, but those open to the concept of a genre mixtape will find themselves charmed by this distinct audio-visual take on the anthology format.”

Ralston has previously created artwork for the likes of Disney, Shout Factory, Arrow Films, IDW Publishing, and more.
