MEXI-MONSTER POSTERS!


Up until about 1970, horror movie posters (aka, one-sheets, half-sheets, etc.) were imaginative works of art that were designed to entice film audiences to spend their hard-earned bucks at the theater. While posters from the U.S. were generally more dramatic, the ones from Europe -- especially those for giallo -- were lurid and exploitative. Posters from Mexico fell somewhere in between as illustrated by these examples.

The Aztec Mummy (1957).

The Curse of the Aztec Mummy )1957).

Curse of the Doll People (1961).

Invasion of the Vampires (1963).
