EXPLOITATION FILM POSTERS TP
by Tony Nourmand & Graham Marsh
Sex, drugs, delinquency, alternative culture, Black power, and rock and roll are just some of the themes that have attracted the attention of the cinema’s bottom-feeders over the past eighty years. A few of the resulting films have become cult classics, but most were simply tacky. The posters produced to promote them, on the other hand, are wonderful period pieces that vividly evoke the social fears, temptations, and taboos of bygone eras, masterpieces of visual innuendo, offering, in most cases, far more than the movies actually delivered.
