More recycled movie artwork - Larry Cohen's GOD TOLD ME TO & Marijan Vadja's BLOODLUST


Another new discovery in the 'borrowed artwork' stakes...this time the image used in the U.S. newspaper advertisements for Larry Cohen's GOD TOLD ME TO later turned up in the Australian paper ads for the 1977 Werner Pochath-starring Swiss masterpiece BLOODLUST (aka MOSQUITO aka MOSQUITO THE RAPIST).

An interesting footnote regarding the poster artwork of Bava's masterpiece SHOCK

An interesting observation – the artwork for the original Italian poster of Mario Bava’s SHOCK is almost identical to the cover art (by William Teason) on the 1963 paperback edition of Shirley Jackson’s mystery novel ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’. Grady Hendrix’s excellent book ‘Paperbacks from Hell’ brought this to my attention.


Spot the difference...
