# Lamp-Replaced Movie Posters These Parody Posters Feature Lamps as Hit Stars By Nicole Ballantyne-Choo | Published 2013-08-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parody-posters References: [elitefixtures](http://www.elitefixtures.com/blog/post/58923553932/popular-movie-posters-get-mashed-up-with-lamps) Die hard movie fans may be a bit confused when their favorite characters are replaced by lamps in these parody posters. While the original movies are definitely crowd favorites, these pictures imagine how different the film would be if lifeless objects took the place of important characters or props. For example, people may not be so inclined to watch the beloved Dirty Dancing if Patrick Swayze danced with a tall, slim lamp instead of the stunning Jennifer Grey. In much the same way, Silence of the Lambs would hardly be the hit horror it was if it had been hilariously renamed to Silence of the Lamps. One extremely hilarious remake that would deprive people of exciting dinosaur fun would be if Jurassic Park was called 'Well-Lit Park.' ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Parody Posters:** Creating parody posters that replace important characters with lifeless objects. - **Humorous Remakes:** Creating humorous remakes of hit movies that incorporate lifeless objects. - **Visual Satire:** The use of visual satire to mock and parody popular movies. ### Who This Affects Most - **Film and Entertainment:** Incorporating parody posters and humorous remakes into film marketing strategies to generate buzz and interest. - **Home Decor and Lighting:** Creating novelty lamps that are based on popular movie characters and props. - **Merchandise and Collectibles:** Creating unique movie merchandise and collectibles that incorporate visual satire and parody. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinema Screen Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinema-screen-lamp.md) - [AI-Generated Christmas Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-posters.md) - [Animation-Inspired LED Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animationinspired-led-lamp.md) - [Creature-Like Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pink-robots-won.md) - [Quirky Common Item Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/table-lamp-lighter.md) - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [Discarded Theater Screen Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/discarded-theater-screen.md) - [Playful Brick-Born Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-lamps-1.md) - [Oversized Pen Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-lamp.md)
