Archival Note Card | Movie Mojo #37

A pale tentacled creature with a human face sits above a very calm black dog.

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 white, horned and coiling form with a man's face rises against a dark blue sky. A glossy black dog with its tongue out fills the base, and a faded red word crosses the middle. A thin white margin surrounds the image. It is 5 inches long and 7 high.

The dog looks fine, which is the real achievement.
