Believe it or not, these are the official movie posters for Alien in 1979 and Aliens in 1986 from Poland. Back then, the idea of a unified marketing scheme was not permitted in Poland, because the country was under communist rule as imposed by the Soviets. An interesting by-product of that era, is that the Western films which were shown in Polish theatres all had new posters designed by Polish artists. It gave an opportunity for local talent to be used and the posters were a very loose interpretation of the themes of the films. I once attended an art show in Toronto which showed off these classic movie posters from dozens of Western films. They were really fantastic and completely off the wall. The posters below were really the tip of the iceberg. Anyway, these were official. They were part of a deal which allowed Western studios to release their films in a Communist country. Glad that's over. Enjoy!
