I know the recycling of art is pretty common, but I just came across a pretty interesting example while researching a poster from the wanted section on this board. The first image is of a Suspiria poster I purchased several months ago. No one seems to know much about it. The only thing I know is that it is near one sheet size (very slightly less) and it came from Chile (but was advertised as Peruvian). The second is the Italian one panel from The Prowler, aka Rosemary's Killer. I always wondered what the blade like objects were in the Suspiria poster. Well, it appears they are the tines of a pitchfork. The Prowler came out in 1981 and featured a pitchfork wielding baddie terrorizing a New Jersey town. Since The Prowler was release in 1981, and a pitchfork is an important implement used in the film, I tend to believe that this was the original art and that the Suspiria poster was released sometime after The Prowler in 1981. I guess it could be the other way around, but I think that conclusion less likely. Anyway, it is interesting the connections that can be made based on artwork, printing marks, paper, etc in this hobby.
