At least Barbie gets a 3D Ken, this loser she’s stuck with is basically a paper doll with tabs for his clothes.

Surely needs a ” Bradley Walsh Has Left the Building ” tag ?

The Chase was also the title of one of the earliest Doctor Who stories. So roughly 30 years before this. It still managed to have vastly superior visuals.

I think she’s running away from the wolf, the snake AND the boyfriend.

So the dis-assembling modular home is behind the snake, but in front of the wolf and the disembodied Hitler Youth head? At least all human feet are obscured.

Looks like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure with a teen supernatural romance theme.

They are either running like they are in a Benny Hill skit or doing the slow motion for speed Six Million Dollar Man effect.

The guy running for his life while giving the thumb’s up is either a devout optimist…or he read ahead to the final chapter.

As far as I can work out, the planet’s diameter is only about 100 metres so the wolf could just stay put and wait for them to come back around.

He’s wearing a blue jump suit. He must have been called into fix the furnace and botched the job. Or he’s the next host of MST3K.

So, which Pokémons are these?

Now THIS is what Charlie Sheen signed up for!

My eyes!!! I can’t imagine how loud this is IRL.
They picked a bunch of colors which are terrible separately and put them all together. Ditto the fonts, and didn’t bother with perspective.
I’m surprised to see the publication date, I’d have guessed 5 years earlier.
Is everything virtual except Barbie and maybe Evil Blond Benedict Cumberbatch? Possibly the snake.

For some random reason I am really enjoying pretending I hear the Monkees’ theme song playing behind this cover. Try it, it’s quite funny.

Hey hey it’s The Chase now,
Bad cover for the gang at GSS
and I can’t bother to do any more. Filk amongst yourselves

@Francis Boyle: so that must be Part Four, ‘Journey Into Terror’, where they’re in a haunted house exhibit at the Festival of Ghana and the Daleks are defeated by animatronic Dracula (but not the big staircase, as one might have thought).

@Tat: I don’t remember Ian and Barbara having that sort of hair.
There is a chance of that being a connection, though!

@GSS ex-Noob: Barbara’s hair is justifiably revered and should have won an architectural award. Vicki’s hair changed a lot between scenes in Part One but I suspect these two are the people who had the hot-dog concession. Or maybe she’s Roslyn de Winter, famous for the silliest credit in the history of the series* and cast here as ‘The Grey Lady’. (She’s the one who randomly shouts ‘Unshriven’ whenever they decide a scene isn’t silly enough). Dunno who he is.
(*In ‘The Web Planet’: “Insect Movement Roslyn de Winter”.)

@GSSxn—Good effort at parody, but it’s not easy with that tune. I was just thinking of the actual theme song from the TV show, in its original glory, as a backdrop for this cover. Like, when the film starts going real fast as those zany cutups do their zany thing, it works great for this cover.

@BC: I hope this lot isn’t soon “coming to your town”. Or anyone’s town.
@Tat: You certainly know your early Doctor details! As the chap appears to be an NPC, it doesn’t matter who he is.
