Archival Note Card | Movie Mojo #31

Cobras and black pots circle a bearded man who is plainly having a bad day.

This is an archival note card from the Movie Mojo series. It is canvas. Genre films, from adventure to horror to crime, developed their own visual shorthand in poster design, which makes the imagery easy to recognize at small size. A bearded man sits at center on a warm, mottled cream-and-orange ground, with dark hooded snakes rising from three black pots behind and a woman with an upswept hairdo balanced above. Red lettering runs along the top and bottom. It is 5 inches long and 7 high.

The ground looks as stressed as the cast does.
