Cat Sick Blues - Australian teaser poster

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.
Cara a Cara aka Face to Face - Brazillian poster

Cara a Cara aka Face to Face – Brazillian poster

This beautiful poster for 1967's Cara a Cara was created by Brazilian design luminary, Eduardo Muñoz Bachs. Bachs was a self-taught designer and children's book illustrator who provided his idiosyncratic style to over 2000 movie posters.
Virgin Witch - US poster

Virgin Witch – US poster

There's not a lot to say about this poster for 1972's Virgin Witch. Either you love it, or you probably arrived at Mondo Exploito by mistake. It encapsulates early 70s exploitation.
Putney Swope - US poster

Putney Swope – US poster

The Putney Swope poster is strangely shocking, amusing and above all, graphically compelling. Beautiful simplicity executed with perfection.
Sledgehammer - DVD cover

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.
Mafia Girls - US poster

Mafia Girls – US poster

Give me this over a season of Mob Wives any day. The pink, black and white colour scheme in this poster is managed beautifully. If Saul Bass got amourous prior to designing, I imagine the end result would look something like this.
3AM - US poster

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.
"Hukkunud Alpinisti" Hotell AKA Dead Mountaineer Hotel - Estonian poster

“Hukkunud Alpinisti” Hotell AKA Dead Mountaineer Hotel – Estonian poster

I won't be posting on Mondo Exploito for a little while after tonight, so I wanted to go out on a bang. According to my eyes, the below represents the sort of bang I wanted.
I Don't Want to Be Born - UK poster

I Don’t Want to Be Born – UK poster

I stumbled upon this batshit crazy for the UK film I Don't Want to Be Born and instantly fell in love with it. The hand-headed scissor wielding baby is perhaps the single most astonishing graphic element I have ever seen.
More Scanners art from Criterion

More Scanners art from Criterion

A couple of weeks ago, we featured Connor Willumsen's brilliant cover for The Criterion Collection's upcoming release of the classic Scanners. Well... Another piece of accompanying art by Willumsen recreating one of the film's most iconic moments has just been revealed and it is worth posting.
Scanners - Criterion Collection cover design

Scanners – Criterion Collection cover design

This cover was illustrated by Connor Willumsen, a name I doubt I will be forgetting any time soon.
Beyond Erotica - US poster

Beyond Erotica – US poster

I stumbled across this poster a couple of days ago while searching for something completely unrelated. I fell in love immediately.
