Bamboo House of Dolls – Italian poster
Combine the scuzz of a Hong Kong WIP film and the artistic talents of Italy's poster designers and you get something almost unbearably sleazy. No one sells a movie with such slimy fervour as Italy.
I Drink Your Blood – Italian poster
Man, I love this Italian locandina for foamy-mouthed 70s classic I Drink Your Blood!
Italian Stallion – Italian poster
Back in 1970, Sylvester Stallone was in a shitty softcore flick called The Party at Kitty and Stud's. It was a piece of cinema history I'd all but forgotten about until Sly's face popped up in my Facebook newsfeed in a post from Westgate Gallery.

Mondo Exploito interviews the owner of Westgate Gallery, fine purveyors of smutty poster art!
Day of the Dead – Italian poster
I was in Rome last year. I visited a lot of churches. I met Luigi Cozzi. I ate a lot of gelato. It was fucking magical. I also found a store with tons of lurid locandina posters and murdered my wallet.
I Spit on Your Grave – Italian poster
I Spit on Your Grave is already a remarkably unpleasant film, but this poster puts it through the Italian filter of sexy lingerie, blood, bondage, and a leather bound stool resulting in something far more obnoxious dripping in gaudy glitz.
