Halloween is right around the corner and nothing gets us in the spooky spirit more than a great horror film. The monster movies of the 1950s and ‘60s were full of charming low-budget visuals, unearthly protagonists influenced by the Atomic era, and hilarious titles.
The posters for these films really sold the absurdity of the horror and sci-fi narratives, featuring eye-popping visuals and over-the-top taglines about deadly creeps and creatures. Here are some of the craziest monster movie posters from that time period.
