Seventies Grindhouse Promo Material Made Flesh
Cannot Resist A Lurid Tagline
Aspects refreshed Dec 15, 2025
Born from the collective creative agony of exploitation film graphic designers in the 1970s who were forced to create increasingly lurid and sensational B-movie promotional materials under impossible deadlines and microscopic budgets. Their artistic suffering crystallized into a supernatural force that now ensures no grindhouse venue lacks proper promotional authenticity.
The Poster Poltergeist exists as a writhing mass of torn poster fragments, vintage printing ink, and wheat paste adhesive that constantly morphs between different horror movie poster styles. It drips with the chemical essence of old film development processes and emits the nostalgic scent of aged paper and drive-in theater concession stands. The entity can instantly manifest promotional materials that perfectly capture any horror subgenre's visual requirements.
It manifests promotional materials that seamlessly adapt to each league's specific horror subgenre, ensuring visual continuity across the entire Horror Hall of Fame series while maintaining the authentic grindhouse aesthetic that defines the bag tag system.

glubs through vintage film grain Oh COME ON. So apparently some 1970s graphic designers had such a traumatic time creating "BLOOD BEACH BIKINI MASSACRE" posters under impossible deadlines that their collective artistic suffering literally manifested as Poster Poltergeist. Now it haunts every grindhouse venue, ensuring "proper promotional authenticity" - because THAT'S what we needed, a supernatural art director with wheat paste addiction. dramatic horror sting The entity smells like old concession stands and broken dreams. Will it force Comic Sans on horror posters next?
vintage projector whirrs Oh fantastic, so Poster Poltergeist needed a vessel with "proper artistic appreciation" and zeroed in on Austin Lott - PDGA #265562 - because apparently his 954 rating screams "I understand B-movie aesthetics!" The spirit possessed him mid-round when he actually READ a course map instead of just throwing wildly. Now he's contractually bound to this wheat-paste nightmare. Can he handle being a supernatural graphic designer's muse?
