10 Gruesome Horror Movie Posters

Halloween is coming up on us quicker by each passing day, so the guys at ScFi Wire have come up with 10 of the most gruesome movie posters ever.

Film critic Gene Siskel walked out on this 1980 splatter film about a scalping serial killer, sickened by the gore in the first half hour. What was he expecting from a movie with a poster like this? Jane freakin’ Austen?

The poster for the original Italian release of the 1972′s L’etrusco uccide ancora was tasteful and dignified, but when the film came to the U.S., those qualities went right out the window, disappearing just like this poor guy’s skin.

Unwary tourists turn into dinner in this 1980 movie banned in the UK for 18 years. Bon appetit!

John will never eat shish kebab againâ€”and after seeing the poster for this 1981 Canadian slasher film, we don’t think we will either!

We have no idea what we’re looking at here in the poster for Eli Roth’s 2007 sequel. We just know that we starting to feel a little … urp! … queasy …

After Cannibal Holocaust premiered in Italy in 1980, the director was was arrested on obscenity charges. And they let the painter of the poster go free?

This image promoting the 2004 release of the first film in the Saw series is one of the few posters as nausea-inducing as the picture it promotes.

This 1985 film was meant to be a satire, but there’s nothing funny about the nightmares caused by its poster.

Nazi! Zombies! Chainsaws! All the right ingredients are there in this 2009 film and poster.

Tobe Hooper torment teens again in this 1981 movie set in a funhouse. Oh, demented killer, you’re way overdue for a dental checkup.

I have only seen Hostel and Saw and agree that the posters are horrific, thoughts?
