Original Yugoslav theatrical poster for Dario Argento’s Deep Red (1975), locally titled Tajna napuštene kuće, sized about 70 × 50 cm and in very good vintage condition with folding lines, a rare period print authentic to Yugoslav cinema distributions.
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.
