Movie posters have been around for as long as film itself and have always been a very popular way of attracting audiences. Posters have changed drastically over the years and rarely do we get a very original looking poster anymore. If you look at a movie poster for a film today, 9 times out of 10 you are going to see what I like to call the floating heads of hell. Essentially the posters are horribly Photoshopped giant floating heads of all of the main characters. Why this style is so popular I will never know because they look down right horrendous.

An unsupervised retarded monkey could create a better poster than some of the crap that’s laying around these days.

Not all is lost however, because there happens to be a wonderful company called Mondo where they recreate posters for films that are regarded as cult or genre pictures and recapture the vintage flair that movie posters used to have while still making them modern. Every poster these guys do are very unique and I felt like sharing some of my favorites with you guys. Hope you enjoy.
