Yes, it’s been a long while. Several months in fact, since my last Poster Gallery posting, which was meant to be a monthly endeavour, but you know how these things are, sometimes you can’t find the material for a while, and then the next thing you know, time has slipped away on you like plastic soles skidding in a pool of congealing blood …
So here is a selection that mixes the high art with the deep trash, which is one of my fetishes, as you know. A couple of the movies represented in this selection I wouldn’t touch with a sharpened barge pole, as they are utterly dreadful, but the poster design rocks.
A few foreign dark delights, including two outlandish Polish designs, since they turn everything on its minimal head when it comes to movie poster graphic art and are almost always in monochrome ... and one that has caused great concern to a certain famous fast food chain.
As a nod to the criminally insane made good; an early teaser poster to The Dark Knight I’ve thrown in for good opening measure.

I am a bit worried that Kentucky Fried anything will be crap.
However Calvaire is a terrific looking poster.
Pulse and Train are close seconds.
