Original Artwork used for Cinema Posters and Video Sleeves
« on: 13 Jul 2008 - 10:06 »
I am looking for original artwork used for 70s and early 80s horror/sleaze/exploitation cinema posters and video sleeves. So far I have the original art for the US cinema poster for John Russo's MIDNIGHT (see below), its re release (under the title BACKWOODS MASSCARE), and the 70s classic British sex comedy WHATS UP SUPERDOC (also used for the Hokushin pre cert video release). Anything you might have, or know about, please PM me about. And if you have any details of the artists or companies behind any of the UK pre cert video artwork, then I would love to know about that too. Many thanks - Andy.

I've seen a few bits like this pop up on eBay earlier in the year. I remember Aarron was bidding on the original art for the US VHS release of REVOLVER on the Super Video label. We both agreed it was a good buy but his internet was playing up and I said I'd keep an eye on it and bid for him if he got outbid. Auction ended at something like 1 in the morning and I fell asleep on the settee and didn't check the auction.

 ???

He didn't win it. Lovely artwork on it too.



If I see anything I'll be sure to let you know Andy.

Didn't he buy something else instead when he didn't win that one?

I believe he did but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. It'll be on here somewhere...

Was it artwork for SYNDICATE SADISTS? That seems to ring a bell.

It was the same guy selling that artwork as I got my MIDNIGHT from - he had a great selection of stuff for sale and then suddenly dried up. He DID have access to the "Witch" arwork from the UK Intervision MIDNIGHT video release but the company weren't prepared to release it for auction at that time. I have been watching for it ever since...
