(1953) Directed by Andre de Toth

 

Description:  Original Spanish Theatrical 4 pages 1953 die-cut Hand Herald 

Condition: Fine. See photos.

Year: 1953


Size: 3 1/4" x 3 3/4" (8 x 10 cm) Approx. 4 pages

Comments: Amazing horror 3D die-cut audience effect, art by MCP.   Note that this unusual herald has a square cut out of the cover, and the image of the girl and the murderer are partially die-cut, so that you can fold down the cover, and put the two figures above the top of the cover, creating the illusion that the audience is looking at the two figures coming off the screen (and we have photographed it that way)! Note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D and 2D posters and lobby cards (the 2-D posters and lobby cards were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This item is from the "3-D" release. Note that we have pictured the front and back of this 4-page Spanish herald. We opened it up and photographed the front and back together, but of course, normally you view it with just the front cover showing, because it was folded.
