Nintendo’s Virtual Boy was forward of its time when it was launched. The short-lived console may need not been probably the most handy, however wanting again it was modern and really distinctive.

If you’ve been studying my articles lengthy sufficient, you recognize my explicit curiosity in horror motion pictures — particularly Universal Monster ones! The Monster Squad is one in every of my favourite motion pictures, and this Italian poster may be very eye-catching!
Unlike the North American poster, this one does embrace three monsters which are within the movie, however the bare girl with a Dracula chunk mark on her butt (and a demon within the background) is a pleasant contact that completely doesn’t mirror something from the film. Artist Sandro Cecchini did an excellent job with this poster — this instance deserves to be hung up and displayed in each monster collector’s dwelling!
