13 GREAT VINTAGE BRITISH HORROR POSTERS

 So, here are 13 great British posters for us to feast our eyes on, on a Friday! Boy, I had to do a lot of cleanup on these suckers, but I think they'll pass muster for this post.

First up is this very nice Corman double bill from 1959. You can tell if it's a British poster because they usually have a cert. X on them, like the one at the center there.

Here a terrific double bill of THE FLY and THE WASP WOMAN, in this one you can see that they came up with a freakier version of The Wasp Woman. I would love to have this poster, wow!

Then there's this chilling alternative poster for THE FLY! Wild and Weird!

Here's another double bill with THE CURSE OF THE FLY and DUEL OF THE SPACE MONSTERS, aka, FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER.

Here's a total freak poster, in Britain INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN became INVASION OF THE HELL CREATURES. This is another poster I wish I had.

The title ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES was changed to DEMONS OF THE SWAMP for the British audience, the movie was directed by Dungeon Pal, Bernie Kowalski! 

Okay, here's a wildcard for you, this rare poster is from that very freaky, ISLAND OF TERROR. This scene doesn't exist as far as I know. I tried to find out if there was a Euro version but found nothing, so, enjoy it for what it is, a real teaser!!

Herman Cohen movies were obviously popular with the British audience, the poster was retitled from BLOOD OF DRACULA to BLOOD IS MY HERITAGE. Seems like they didn't want to confuse the original title with Hammer productions.

They dropped the 'I was a' so the title is just TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN, really great poster that is eye catching as Hell!

They didn't change this title for I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF, another blood curdling poster to attract the viewing audience.

I really had to work on this poster image to get it to get it to look this good. MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS, another great movie from Universal Studios.

The original British title for CURSE OF THE DEMON was called, NIGHT OF THE DEMON, either way, a great movie!

We'll end the show with this nice black and white British lobby card from THE SHE-CREATURE... Well, hope your enjoyed the post, I enjoyed bringing it to you.
