Rabid 1977 British Quad horror movie poster Marilyn Chambers Cronenberg

  

Here is a sickly original British Quad (30" x 40") theatrical movie poster for the Alpha release of David Cronenberg's rude, crude and socially unacceptable venereal horror classic Rabid (1977). Marilyn Chambers is brilliantly cast as the superspreader of the sexually transmitted contagion spawned by experimental skin grafting surgery, with scenes of Chambers molesting strangers with her armpit genitals breaking the taboos Cronenberg started to explore in the equally subversive Shivers (1975) (as well as the theme of rapid disease spread which we can all appreciate today).

, it is often criticized for the occasional awkward moment but it is the product of a time when genre filmmakers like Cronenberg were more driven by creativity than corporate sponsorship and films like this would truly shock instead of serve as fodder for vacuous online choruses of I liked it. Audacious British Quad poster offers a graphic depiction (in color unlike the US 1-sheet) one of Chambers' infected casualties post rabies and refrigeration.
