Back before Video Games and all those newfangled, high budget horror films had completely desensitized viewers and ruined it for everybody! ... (cough) ... horror movies would attract audiences by doing the visual equivalent of foreplay in a Film's Poster, in this case presenting one of the following visual variations on an implied rape scene: | |

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) climaxes with Helen Benson uttering the words "Klaatu Barada Nikto" to the robot Gort, after which he carries her into the flying saucer. Subverted in that she's only taken there to talk to Klaatu. | |

Posters for the 1962 Hammer Horror version of The Phantom of the Opera depict the titular Phantom holding the unconscious Christine, but this is something he never does in the actual film. Many of the promotional materials tried to market it as a Beast and Beauty love story, which (ironically given the source material) was not the case. The Phantom does not appear to have any romantic feelings for Christine in this adaptation. | |

The Dunwich Horror's use may make it the most obviously sexualized example of all time. As if that weren't enough, the poster's caption all but states outright that the woman and the monster are having sex. | |

In Candyman, Candyman carries the heroine, Helen, like this. Just to underline the sexual element, this takes place after she has agreed to 'surrender' to him, and before he lies her down on a table/bed, he slides his hook up her skirt... and kisses her. | |

Spoofed in Red Dwarf. The Captain is watching an old B&W B-movie showing a screaming female explorer being carried in the arms of a swamp creature. When they travel to a Mirror Universe, the movie has the screaming swamp creature being carried off by the female explorer. | |

The Creature from the Black Lagoon did this, through his intentions were quite honorable; he was the last of his kind and wanted a companion. However, that didn't stop him from being highly territorial and mistrusting humans. | |

A couple of cards in the 1962 card series Mars Attacks! use the Touch of Evil version, though one of the unreleased cards has a rather graphic (and very obviously sexualized) depiction of Playing with Its Food/Angels' Envy. Another unreleased card is From the Pages of Bettie-style, but with more gore than obvious bondage, and, again, obviously sexualized. | |

Often seen in Universal Horror films and/or publicity stills. Dracula (1931) has the Count carrying Mina Harker in this manner in the ruined Carfax Abbey. The Mummy Kharis does this in The Mummy's Hand and pretty much every other movie he appears in. Frankenstein's Monster does it toward the end of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man. The Creature from the Black Lagoon did this, through his intentions were quite honorable; he was the last of his kind and wanted a companion. However, that didn't stop him from being highly territorial and mistrusting humans. |
