Movie poster artist Enzo Sciotti, who specialized in Italian horror movies, died on April 11, 2021. He was 76 years old.

The prolific movie poster artist produced the posters for horror flicks like The Beyond and The House by the Cemetery, among others.

He was born into a family of painters on September 24, 1944 in Rome, Italy. In the 1960s his mother helped him get a job creating movie posters when he was only 16 years old. Not long after that, Sciotti and fellow poster artist Ezio Tarantelli started a film poster studio.
