This is an original Yugoslav theatrical poster for Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom (1960), released in Yugoslavia under the title “Smrt u očima.” The film is now considered one of the earliest and most influential psychological horror / proto-slasher films ever made, and posters from its first and early international distribution are exceptionally scarce. Artwork & Design The Yugoslav poster features a striking, minimalist and unsettling design: a large, stylized eye illuminated by a beam of yellow light an image of the killer operating his modified camera (one of cinema’s most iconic horror props) a torn-frame inset photo of a woman on a dimly lit street bold, vivid red typography for the local title SMRT U OČIMA The overall aesthetic perfectly captures the voyeuristic, disturbing nature of the film. It is entirely different from UK and U.S. materials — a uniquely Yugoslav graphic interpretation rarely seen on the market.
