The Aus daybill for HOUSE OF DRACULA was mentioned in the mid auction thread. I just did a little perusing and found the Aus 3 sheet that Bruce auctioned back in Dec of 2004. It went for a "whopping" $380.00! And it was already linen backed!

Nice!! sm1

Wish I bought it!
Notice the different rating on the 3sht with horror reference. Don't see many with that one. House of Frankenstein & The Body Snatcher have it. All around 1945ish.

I told you vintage was on the way up. But no, you wouldn't hear of it. Over optimistic and out of touch I heard ...  ;)

Nice daybill, David.   thumbup  I agree, the daybill is much better than the US one sheet, but the US insert is the best for the title, IMO.   United States for the win!  8)

hehe - but ours does have the 'adults only' stamp of approval. You know when you saw that on a poster you could be assured of making out in the back with your girlfriend (or someone else's for that matter) without those beady little eyes staring at you over the seat in front...

Nice, Neo, and your daybill, too, David.  thumbup

It appears that the Aus daybill used (and very slightly reworked) the art and layout, directly, from the US insert.

Neo, have you got Under the Red Sea? Another fab shark poster. Fantastic colours/artwork on that one.

Unfortunately I do not have one for Under the Red Sea.  I agree, it is a real beaut.  I'll probably acquire one someday do add to my humble shark/underwater collection.   8)
