ドクターX by Eric Rohman, 1932

Bursting with Art Deco energy, this Swedish poster for the 1932 horror film *Doctor X* turns terror into a graphic spectacle. Giant, jagged red letters explode against a deep blue sky, while searchlights beam ominously from disembodied eyes at the bottom. In the corner, a shadowy, cloaked figure cradles a fainting woman—likely the legendary 'scream queen' Fay Wray, who would soon be climbing the Empire State Building in *King Kong*. Directed by Michael Curtiz before he found fame with *Casablanca*, this design perfectly captures the pulp thrill of early cinema horror.
