Horror/Exploitation movies posters?

[zombiecraig]

I want to do some paintings in a similar style to old horror and exploitation movie posters from the 60s and 70s. I know the style, but I would really like to look at some images of some of them for inspiration. I have a "Taste the Blood of Dracula" poster and the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" poster and those are similar to what I'm looking for. Limited colors, usually a lot of red, white and black. I know there is a book devoted to this kind of artwork (I cannot remember the title at this time), but I was hoping there would be some images online somewhere. But I've been having a hard time locating them through search engines. Any ideas of where I may look? Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

I've seen this one at Half Price Books recently. Looks pretty good. Click the pic to go to Amazon's page on it.

Yup! That's it. Thanks for helping me with that title. It's a pretty nice book. But I would still like some online help if anyone has suggestions...

check a bunch of movie poster sites. Can't really remember any off the top of my head but some do have a small section of horror and stuff. Rick's Movie Graphics might have some... dunno if thats the name of the site but ya know.

It's a really good book for cult and explotation posters. My only complaint is that it's only 150 pages. I wish it had more posters. I love movie posters, especially from horror and explotation movies.
