AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is an original Yugoslav theatrical poster for Dario Argento’s Deep Red (1975), released locally as “Tajna napuštene kuće.”
Among giallo and Italian horror collectors, Yugoslav posters for Argento titles are considered exceptionally rare, and this version is one of the most visually striking regional designs.

Artwork & Design

The artwork features:

a terrified central portrait of David Hemmings

stylised gothic architecture in the background, echoing the film’s supernatural atmosphere

portraits of Daria Nicolodi and Macha Méril

the eerie presence of the killer’s doll — one of the most iconic images from the film

The intense red-and-black palette perfectly captures the aesthetic of Argento’s early giallo era.
The poster also highlights its award recognition:
“Film je nagrađen prvom nagradom na festivalu filmova u Anesiu.”
(Awarded first prize at the Annecy Film Festival.)

Authenticity

This is a genuine period-printed Yugoslav poster, not a reprint.

Authentic indicators:

distributor mark Inex Film

localised cast names in Croatian/Serbian orthography

period-correct font and colour separation

original fold lines (YU posters were always folded for cinema distribution)

standard Yugoslav format approx. 70×50 cm

Condition

Very Good vintage condition (folded as issued).

Strong colours with no major fading

Minor fold wear and slight edge handling typical for age

No major tears, no tape residue, no writing

Clean and well-preserved surface overall

A highly display-worthy example.

Collectability

This poster is significantly rarer than most international Deep Red editions.
YU horror posters—especially Italian giallo titles—were printed in small numbers and had limited survival rates.

Highly collectible for fans of:

Dario Argento

Giallo & Italian horror

1970s cult cinema

rare Yugoslav theatrical posters

This is one of the most desirable Argento YU posters.

Shipping

Will be shipped carefully folded, protected between rigid cardboard sheets, with full tracking.
