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.
