Description

Here is a new find from the world of faux exploitation movie posters.

This is the poster for a 60's Mondo rarity called "TABOO TIKI TRIP!"
The film explored, in quasi-documentary style (read: stock footage mixed with
naughty new footage shot by the producers), the weird world of drug induced Tiki
parties. The stock footage of tiki culture and authentic native rituals took
a back seat to what producer, Rod Turuwyn, knew would bring in crowds: footage
of drug crazed youth indulging in sex and psychedelia set to the tribal
rhythms of the Pop-Polynesian beat. Turuwyn hit the nail on the head and the
picture turned a tidy profit for Threadbare pictures in the Summer of 1967 before
being pulled from theaters and shelved due to a crack down on "immoral entertainment".
By the time Threadbare's lawyer got the blue noses to back down, the original negative and
all of the release prints had disappeared, never to be seen again.

All that's left of this way-out production are a few posters and publicity stills.
