The one glaring graphic error on the AU daybill (for those that know these movies) is the image of the Monster carrying Ilona Massey. That classic photo is from FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN, not HOF.  ;)

Frankie's head look familiar??

To have the misspell of Welles' name get past the proof readers, before the daybills were printed is pretty amazing (and a major faux pas).

Considering that he not only acted in the film, but wrote, produced and directed it, as well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Just like ALL eras of movie poster art have their winners and losers, so do ALL countries.
No era -- or country -- has the corner on quality.

But I do dig these comparison threads.

One thing about those older daybills that I really like is the hand-drawn lettering.
Very creative and dramatic.
