Scary Vintage Polish Movie Posters

According to these vintage illustrated movie posters from Poland watching a movie of any kind is a terrifying ordeal, and moviegoers who had to choose which movie to see based purely on these scary looking posters had better be fans of horror or they’re out of luck!

The collection starts with posters for Rosemary’s Baby, Poltergeist, Alien and The Birds, all admittedly scary movies, but then there’s a Cabaret movie poster featuring a swastika made from a dancer’s legs, a terrifying Tootsie poster that makes the main character look like a serial killer, and a grinning half skull, half flesh faced reaper type dude on the Young Frankenstein poster.

Either Polish movie poster artists are seeing Hollywood movies in a different way than we Americans, or they designed the posters before they actually watched the movies.
