Continuing with the Italian gothic posters..

Continuing with the theme of Italian gothic horror, I present a German poster for The Virgin of Nuremberg (a.k.a. Horror Castle) directed by Antonio Margheriti, as well as another for The Horrible Dr. Hichcock, here paired with The Awful Dr. Orloff. Interestingly enough, the Virgin of Nuremberg poster has art elements from the AIP release of Mario Bava's Baron Blood (see below) released almost 10 years later! I'd be interested in hearing how this came about.


Next up, a trio of Mario Bava images. Italian posters for Black Sunday and Black Sabbath as well as a Pakistani poster for Whip and the Body which uses re-worked art from the Italian 2-panel.
