A Fistful of Dollars – German poster
Not an obscure film by any means, but I suspect this German poster for Sergio Leone's classic A Fistful of Dollars has been seen by few and hence, worth featuring on Mondo. And what a gorgeous, almost painfully stylish poster it is too.
Teenage Milkmaid – US poster
Will you get a load of that tagline! It really seems like quite a stretch to me... Project a vaguely erotic notion on the concept of milkmaids and then see how far such a spurious notion can be pushed.
Berberian Sound Studio – UK poster
Not an obscure movie by any means, but nonetheless, I cannot forbid such a gorgeous movie poster from being ignored simply because the movie in question achieved some popularity. I don't even want to say anything about it. Just look at it.
Autopsy aka The Victim – US poster
This poster for Armando Crispino's 1975 Giallo Autopsy (aka The Victim) is beautifully executed. I particularly love the circular motif used for the O.
I Am a Ghost – US poster
In general, I don't tend to spruik modern movie posters because flashy modern designs rarely work for me, but this is a case of a modern design embracing the vintage look that I still, no matter how grating others are starting to find it, love.
Seven Blood-Stained Orchids – Italian poster
Just a nice traditional Italian giallo poster this week. Lenzi was a master of his craft and the below poster is a perfect summation of the giallo film poster aesthetic.
Cat Sick Blues – Australian teaser poster
This week's poster of the week is quite self-serving, but I am so excited, there's nothing else I could think of doing. Some of you may be aware that recently, several of the Mondo Exploito contributors have been involved in a Kickstarter campaign.
Sledgehammer – DVD cover
I am not sure if this DVD cover for Intervision's Sledgehammer release (which uses the original VHS artwork) ever existed in poster form, but I love it regardless. It has a Polish poster feel without the same sense of style. This is like Polish primitive for the psycho set.
3AM – US poster
Another great vintage porn poster from the Westwood Films stable. I know I post a lot of these, but I just love them so much.
The Laughing Woman – US poster
Where would we be without the whimsical joy if Italian sexploitation? This US poster contains so many design elements that I respond to, it's a surprise I haven't already featured it here.
The Now People – US poster
I stumbled across this poster earlier today while searching for old Herschell Gordon Lewis posters. I'm not sure what the relationship between this poster and HGL is (if any), but it immediately caught my eye.
Death by Invitation – US poster
I had never heard of Death by Invitation and still, beyond the beautiful poster, know nothing about it. I have asked Dave to report back on the film's merits (or lack thereof) post haste. In the mean time, just take a look at this pretty thing.
