I agree. I think people who have read the book or seen the movie are a little insulted by the cover (this impression comes from forum threads). But even under the "any publicity" rule...the cover is a turn-off. If I didn't know what the book was about, I'd never pick this book up. Even KNOWING what the book is about I would look for an old copy if I needed one rather than buy that book.
One of the good things about ebooks is that you can read books and not have the cover displayed. (I hate the Patricia Briggs covers in general. Was always glad I didn't have to see some of those covers every time I picked up the book). If I owned this book, it is one where I would likely rip the cover off. It's is creepy and ugly.
