Curio: Witches Brew
Alexa here, chiming in for The Witches of Eastwick week. The film remains one of my 80s favorites, a strong showing in an especially strong year for women in film (Moonstruck! Broadcast News!). Veronica Cartwright's second-most-famous gross-out scene had me off cherries for 10 years, minimum, so I was surprised that no one has designed a minimalist cherry poster for the film yet.
Instead, the climactic voodoo scene seems to inspire artists the most. Here are some of the better voodoo poster designs, and one voodoo curio, in honor of the frizzy-haired trio...
The original Polish and Czech posters for the film.
Finally there's this voodoo prop. The wax doll, used in the film, was put up for auction but didn't sell. Any takers?

LOL. that first image could totally be a Thompson Twins album cover from the 80s.
Haha I love that it's Witches of Eastwick week around here! Especially since I saw the film fairly recently for the first time. Thank you so much for featuring my poster design! I know the cherry imagery would make for a good poster too but god I'm still grossed out by cherries after watching that scene. I was eating dinner at the time, too, yuck!
