Trash: The Graphic Genius of Xploitation Movie Posters
Trash proudly assembles more than 150 masterpieces of twisted brilliance: lowbrow graphic poster art from the sickest, sleaziest, sexiest, and weirdest films from the 1950s through the 1980s.

Awe-inspiring collection of b-movie and exploitation film posters across various genres from the 50s to the 80s. Not much in the way of background information on anything, but that's not really the point. The point is to have big, gorgeous color reproductions of some of the most insane film poster art ever made, and "Trash" delivers in spades.
A great coffee table book and discussion starter.
Hands down, some of the coolest movie poster, I have ever seen. I know a lot of these movies
are stinkbombs but, just seeing the posters makes me wanna see them again. Even, Dracula's Dog looks scary....because the poster is so cool. I guess the Hollywood today likes to photograph their pretty people, make it into a bland as crap poster and try to sell the movie that way. For anyone who like movies this is for you and it is pretty cheap at half-price books.

The glorious, garishly painted posters for such cinematic messterpieces as "Kingdom of the Spiders" and the like, really make todays movie posters seem like they were made by a bunch of unimaginative pussies. Buy this book and paper your bedroom walls with the pages!!!!
