Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #202!






Girls of the Underworld  (aka Mad Youth, 1940) plus Probation  (Chesterfield Motion Picture Company, 1932)


Ah, the cautionary tales of the 30's and 40's - and boy they knew how to sell them on the poster, eh? I haven't seen either - but I would love to - and maybe I have them in some bargain box set in the video vault - who knows?










From Hell It Came  (Allied Artists, 1957)


Starlog writer Ed Naha said about this one: "And to hell it can go!" It is an awesomely silly 50's creature feature - but I'm not nearly so willing to dismiss it as was Mr. Naha. An executed South Seas prince comes back as a walking tree monster with a meanie face on the trunk. You know that's cinema gold, right?

I featured the Nabonga monster in an earlier post about silly movie monsters - if you want to check it out please go HERE.






Le Body Shop  (???, ???)


I couldn't find out anything about this movie online. I know it exists because I remember it airing on Showtime when I was a pre-teen - so I'm going to say it was a French import - most likely made in the early to mid 70's. I wonder why it's so hard to track down?













Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!

    2. I know, I like the posters so much better than the actual film.

  2. I think the quote from Ed Naha is possibly more well known than the film itself... I've never actually seen it, but it honestly looks like something I'd have a great time with. LOVE the poster Le Body Shop... they knew how to do a poster for sexploitation back in those days!

    1. They did indeed! Try to track down a copy of From Hell It Came - it's well worth the effort!
