The Tiger Attacks aka The Beast is Loose – Czech poster

When I was asked to do Mondo Exploito's final ever poster of the week, I felt strangely intimidated by the task. I've been lucky enough to contribute to Mondo Exploito since the beginning and it sure is sad to see it end.

Do I really need to give a preamble to this poster? Everything that is great about it SCREAMS at you without the need for critical dissection.

Evils of the Night – US poster

Combine that synopsis with the following beautiful poster and we could have one of the greatest films ever made on our hands. We don't, of course... but we could.
Young Doctors In Love - US poster

Young Doctors In Love – US poster

Sodomia - Spanish poster

Sodomia – Spanish poster

I really don't know what I could possibly say about a poster like this to do it justice. I am still kind of dumbfounded it exists.
