46: Italian Horror
from The Poster Boys
After opening the Flat File on Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA for their Patreon supporters last month, designers Brandon Schaefer and Sam Smith survey the macabre visions of Italian Horror film posters. These wild and weird designs, much like Argento, Bava, Martino, and Fulci's films themselves, tap into the highest and lowest measures of aesthetics, from the sleaziest to the sublime.
