Rocky Horror Picture Show Poster

4

Poster of revolutionary movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show, by American designer Art Chantry. This serigraph from 1986 features a limited color palette of greyscale, hot pink, and yellow. In it Frank N Furtur is outlined in the yellow with an astronaut helmet drawn over them, and has makeup, nails, and heels painted over in hot pink. 

The movie origionally premirered as a musical in London with a run time of only 40 minutes before being adapted for the screen. It redefined arthouse film, and since then it has become a cult favorite in the horror and queer community.
