Three examples of the art of the lurid from this site<\/a> which has a huge selection of Indian poster art from the Fifties on. I still haven’t seen Shalimar<\/em><\/a> but I’ve been playing the great soundtrack by India’s Ennio Morricone, Rahul Dev Burman<\/a>, continually for the past year. There’s also several pages of Lollywood billboards<\/a> from Pakistan. And a gallery of posters for trashy horror movies from the west; these people are lurid connoisseurs. I actually own the David Cronenberg Shivers<\/em>\/Rabid<\/em><\/a> poster on that pulp page, something I’d completely forgotten about. Had I seen the utterly dreadful art for Zuma 2: Hell Serpent<\/em><\/a> earlier I could have included it in the Men with snakes<\/a> post.<\/p>\n
