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.

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?
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
I was really surprised that this one wasn't picked up on, so I will now reveal the problem that I have with the artwork included on the above Australian one sheet poster. The artwork on the Australian daybill, and it would appear included on all of world wide poster artwork, includes all the key five members of the criminal gang which involves the character One-Round played by Danny Green, who is absent from the Australian one sheet.
In the 1950's to cater for the large number of post WW11 Greek migration to Australia, Greek films were imported (without subtitles) to be screened for a homesick prospective audience. Some city and suburban cinemas were acquired to screen these films. Apart from 35mm prints, 16mm prints were also available to be used in church and community hall screenings as well.
I have often looked for any posters produced for the Greek screenings without any success, that is until now. The following is an unknown English titled Greek film poster with the Lawson Theatre at Redfern Sydney snipe attached. The Lawson cinema screened Greek films there it would appear over many decades, where it would appear from at least the 1950's until the 1970's. The Greek films were imported by various small independent Greek distributors here in Australia.
There was a poster artist, or possibly more than one that appeared to have started in the1950's to add what looks like lipstick to male actor's images that were featured on Australian daybill and other film posters. The films that received this treatment appear to have been for later non first release posters. and where no printer's credits where included, or from F. Cunninghame printed posters. Some examples for Lost In Alaska, Hobson's Choice, Fireman Save My Child, The Gay Dog, The Jolson Story and The Wild One follow below
These examples are only a small number of images I have where this practice was applied.
My question is does anyone else have any other Australian posters featuring male actors wearing this lipstick looking appearance? If anyone happens to have any other really over the top poster examples it would be great to see them added here.
This "artist's" work is so bad it is great (I imagine it is the same person who did the Godzilla).
Too bad they did not do Old Master restoration. They might have outdone this!

A The Ladykillers (1955) Australian 1972 re-release one sheet poster. Something out of place here?

Two further poor examples here in Dunkirk and Devil On Horseback.
