Movie poster for the 1969 film "Don't Drink the Water." The poster's central element is a large, white cartoon illustration of a water spigot or faucet.

At the top of the poster, a large, teal-colored tagline reads: "THEY'RE CAUGHT IN A SECURITY LEAK!..." To the left, a continuation of the tagline reads in smaller black text: "...with hot and cold running spies, a drip from the embassy, and a flood of laughs!"

The movie poster for Death Ship shows a massive, ominous black ship emerging from the misty ocean, looming directly toward the viewer. The ship’s bow dominates the center of the image, with streaks of rust and ghostly, shadowy figures appearing across its hull, giving it an eerie, supernatural presence. Below, in stark contrast to the colossal vessel, a small inflatable raft with a group of survivors drifts helplessly on the water. The tagline at the top reads in white bold letters: “Those who survive the ghost ship are better off dead!” At the bottom, the film’s title Death Ship is written in large, blood-red letters, dripping as though painted in gore. The credits and cast names are listed underneath in smaller white text, framed by the dark green and blue tones of the sea and sky. The overall design conveys dread, hopelessness, and the sinister power of the haunted ship.
