Mondo has kicked off a series of screenings where the movie being shown hasn't been announced. Folks by a ticket, go to the screening, and then find out what they're seeing and what awesome poster they, and only they, will be able to purchase. Past screenings have included Akira and Jurassic Park, but this weekend Mondo pulled out all the stops by doing a six-movie marathon in Los Angeles. Attendees were treated to screenings and posters for The Iron Giant (by far my favorite of the bunch), 28 Days Later, Hellraiser, Assault on Precinct 13, City of Lost Children, and The Mist.
I've included all the posters after the jump. Be warned: seeing these may make you sad because we'll never have them. They won't be sold on the Mondo store and unless you're willing to pay a premium to eBay jerk-offs who don't understand what's special about these posters, you and I will never own them.
