I have been hunting this poster for a while and finally was able to add it to my collection!

Such a cool piece of horror art!

Awesome, Creepy. I have this poster. But only as a reprint. Please
give some more info. The Eyeball poster, is it a rare version? Did you acquire the poster at a good price?

This is the U.S. Release version, the Italian version is much different. Originals don't come up often, although the prices typically aren't crazy (not cheap, but not insane).

I got it for a fair price, but since they are so infrequent I wasn't going to argue.

I have wanted this poster since seeing it on the cover of The Art of the B-Movie Poster

Before actually reading this short thread and comments, I thought right away that this HAS to be a mid 70's to early 80's Italian horror flick.
They were just so crazy for delivering the goods back then.

Yep, this one released in 1975. Not only were the posters great, the films were off-the-wall.
