  • I'd seen the TTCSM mock daybill but not Day of the Dead or Hellraiser. They're great.

    At $20 each they were a bargain. They definitely appear on ebay now and then. There's one dealer who must have bought a job lot of TTCSM ones as he keeps adding more.

    They are great posters!
  • i was recently checking out my pay television channel Foxtel for current film screenings.  As It's A Wonderful Life was being broadcast, I then for nostalgic reasons thought to pay it a brief visit. To my disappointment I found they were screening a colorized version,, and not the original black and white version. Needless to say that I won't be viewing it in this format in the future

  • Things like that are why I bought the 4K version, then I can watch the original whenever I want to. Did you know there's an abridged version that also shows up on TV? It deleted the entire Pottersville section, because that part is still under copyright (due to source material issues), but the rest of the film fell into public domain years ago.

    After falling into public domain in 1973 (or1974), Iater on in 1993 the film's rights were reclaimed alter a U.S.A. supreme court decision ruled the complete version of the film was to be granted and controlled by Paramount Pictures (previously Republic Pictures).

    For your 4k version does it contain both the black and white version and also a colorized version as well? If it has a colorized version have you viewed it, and if so your thoughts?

    When the missing Pottersville pivotal key scenes version was screened in the U,S.A. on Amazon Prime Video, there was an  huge outcry from viewers of this film version.
  • A printing error occurred on the following Go Johnny Go! (1959) Australian printed Blake Film daybill. The correct wording appears following on another rare daybill that was printed for the film. One has to wonder what percentage of the other printed daybills would have been faulty as well.

    A U.S.A. theatrical one sheet that was also used for the videocassette release, and the Australian video only release artwork designed for Zombie High from 1987.  Any preference in the artwork used to promote the film?
  • Aussie video wins by a mile...as it usually did back in the 1980s.
  • The US theatrical one sheet could be any old film, at least wth the Australian poster you know what you're getting!

    These weren't "official" daybills so might not count in finding the last known daybills. They were printed to promote sales of T Shirts at the original screenings and are very cool posters. I had mine signed by John Jarratt and Greg McClean.


    They were a free gift along with the t-shirt at the time.  They all come signed by the director
