Posters Are Going To Eat You!
Ah, the Cannibal genre...here are just a few examples of the sales pitch one can put on flesh eaters of the living variety! Happy GUT MUNCHING Sunday friends!
Wow, never seen that poster for Massacre In Dinosaur Valley before, nice. If only it was a continuation, and the 'Missing Movie' Michael Sopkiw signed on to make that never went ahead, eh. Margheriti's Cannibal Apocalypse, a great Eighties favourite & perhaps the greatest 'Holy Crap' special effect for hole in the stomach moment ever :) .
Dino Valley is a stunner and I sure do like that film! That John Morghen getting his stomach removed via Shotgun is a stunner-and combined with the unique (ahem) method of sawing through a victim to get at entrails-it makes Cannibal Apocalypse a classic gore film that offers a lot of action.
By the way BB, I saw another film with the girl who plays the babysitter in Cannibal Apocalypse. It is called Libidine and it is amazingly sleazy :)
Ah yes...and my favorite is the Amazonia one, a great image from a less than fantastic flick. The Ken Barr image for "Flesh Hunters" is awesome also. I wonder if the original is out there...

Those are awesome. Dinosaur valley has to be one of the best posters ever.

The WHITE SLAVE poster is really great, too.
DINO VALLEY? Wow. The skulls in the foreground are a stunning touch.
Just discovered this blog. Love it.
Thanks very much Phantom of Pulp, I hope you find lots more groovy material to look at in here.
