Thanks for the kind words folks...some more to keep this one going:

It is interesting to note that on the Aussie daybill, the hanged woman is missing from the skeleton's outstretched hand, as well as the severed head held by Price, even tho the artwork of Price and the skeleton remain the same. Most likely, that imagery was considered too extreme, in Australia, at the time?

Got it in one Jeff...we were considered so fragile here in Australia we had to be protected from just about everything!

Let's go modern too

Just scored this one. My conclusion on daybills: they are pretty cool, but not likely to become a new ~~addiction~~.. err.. sub-category of my collection, so that leaves more for you daybill lovers.

I must say, this one is a delightful, dashing, dandy, distinguished, maybe even divine doozy of a daybill.

One thing that I don't understand is why the stock used is so thin, it's probably thinner than a paper towel or napkin. This one was possibly from a professional Cheech and Chong type, as it was rolled into about a one inch diameter. Still an awesome, astonishing, awe-inspiring alternate image...I'll stop there.

that paper stock is common from that era, although USUALLY they are thin (just older ones not glossy). There are some, especially really cheap exploitation releases on thicker stock, almost insert thickness paper.
Good news is these flatten really well. Put some weight on it for a while and it will be like new.

That's good that they flatten out easily, still not a big fan of the thin stock, myself, but that is a good point about it. This is only the third one in my ultra humble daybill collection, and they've all been the thin stock, so it's good to know that there are others that are on something thicker, or similar to card stock. I have a few 30x40s that have been sitting under about 10 pounds of weight for a good 6 months in my flat file, and it looks like unless I put some more weight on them, they will never flatten out.

the thicker card stock daybills ALWAYS have terrible art, and one colour.
EG:

not recommended unless you love the film a LOT...

Neo · « **Reply #85 on:** July 23, 2011, 10:49:48 PM »

That's interesting, Ari. Maybe the same entity produces them? Pretty cool looking, IMHO. Those must be the ultra rare of the rare, huh?

Still gets my vote as one of the worst movie posters ever.
No offense, Ari.

Ari · « **Reply #87 on:** July 23, 2011, 11:45:56 PM »

No offense at all, Ive been trying to get rid of it for 10 years! haha shame because its a great film.
There are a few from Jean Rollin films, same stock as these, red ink, but actually quite nice (for some of his lesbian vampire films).
They probably are kinda rare, but generally nobody wants them, so, doesnt really matter - the title change on the russ meyer is kinda cool though for freaks like me.

What happened to the dandy daybills?

Bump...

Ted, be careful what you wish for

Neo · « **Reply #90 on:** October 28, 2011, 05:13:10 PM »

Just got this one yesterday. The one sheets seem to be very pricey, and this one looks better IMO. The last 3 months sure did fly by, $:-\$ as apparently daybills have now become a new category of my collection.

theartofmovieposters · « **Reply #91 on:** October 28, 2011, 05:54:20 PM »

Now you need the daybill for scarface:

Grab two and if you happen to see an extra Aussie one sheet for it floating around dont hesitate to call.

Neo · « **Reply #94 on:** October 28, 2011, 08:39:21 PM »

Will do, Zorba.

Good thing is (other than the nice and unique aussie artwork) you can usually find it at a reasonable price if you are patient...

I looking at a one sheet today for Scarface. A little too pricey.

But I picked up this one.

"In Big Screen Color!"

Gee golly!

Matt, where do you unearth all of these obscure vintage daybills?
I really dig the brick background on Edgar Wallace's FLAT TWO.
Very cool.
