This is a 5" x 25" theater-style auditorium mylar for Faces of Death (1978).
Originally released in 1978, Faces of Death became one of the most controversial and infamous exploitation films ever made. Presented in a pseudo-documentary style, the film mixes staged sequences with real archival footage to create a shocking examination of death and mortality that sparked decades of debate and censorship around the world. Whether viewed as a cult curiosity or a landmark of grindhouse cinema, Faces of Death has earned a permanent place in horror and exploitation film history.
These narrow mylar banners were traditionally displayed above theater auditorium entrances, making them a unique and less commonly seen form of cinema advertising. Featuring striking artwork from this legendary cult classic, this banner is an excellent collectible for horror, exploitation, and cult film enthusiasts.
This example is brand new and unused, carefully stored and handled with care, and remains in excellent condition.
The first photo shows the mylar displayed in a lightbox, where the artwork appears especially bold and vibrant. The second photo shows its normal appearance under standard lighting. Displays especially well when backlit.
