Much thanks to Toy Tokyo on twitter, but this just popped up and I thought this one alone deserves a share. Apologies for the huge pic. Click on the pic for more MST3K movie posters, they're awesome!

Great posters, wonderful type treatments/illustrations/compositions. Makes me sad, that movie poster design is no longer the art it used to be (there are a few exceptions). Now it's just helvetica bold font with a still from the movie.

Gee, I wonder what bad '70s remake of a classic film the poster artist was ripping off? :lol:

And the link below has some fascinating details about the development of the King Kong teaser poster which first appeared in the New York Times November 30, 1975.

I love old poster art - fantastic stuff. Here's some more old Daiei Studios posters. The seemingly giant 500Y stickers is because these posters are in the form of shitajiki (AKA pencil board or writing underlay) which are the size of a piece of paper.
