Legendary Movie Posters
Posted by: Lyle Blackburn on March 7th, 2011
When it comes to cool movie posters, there’s nothing like the vintage one-sheets that featured fantastic hand-painted artwork. Many of these masterpieces were more exciting than the actual movies themselves, and in some cases helped the movies to endure as classics. This is no different for the various Bigfoot/Yeti monster movies that began to flood the market in the decades of the 60s and 70s. In honor of these great works, I’ve assembled a few of them for your viewing pleasure.
See them at Monstro Bizarro.

I’ve got the Sasquatch and Boggy Creek mini posters framed at my place along with a few others. The orange in the BC one really pops. Thanks for the link, maybe I’ll add a few more to the collection.
Bit off topic but I think that the Berkley poster to King Kong 1976 kind of makes Kong look like a sort of bigfoot.
That King Kong 1976 poster is my second favourite movie poster of all time after the Jaws poster.
