Re: Where Are These Daybills?
Run For Cover (1955) rare Australian and first ever sighted by me daybill on U.K, eBay. Followed by another rare later printed duotone version also printed for the original Australian distributor Paramount Pictures. Finally a third rare daybill poster printed for a 1970's 35mm re-release in Australia by the small independent distributor Studio Films Australia. This time released under the new title of Colorado.

Re: Great Poster but just wee too much Yellow for my liking.
Spot on Bruce as I have become accustomed to the yellow and it no longer bothers me.Bruce said:Lawrence, I think over time you will adapt to it just fine. Quite a few older people (including myself!) don't like ANY change!

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
If I am remembering correctly, like the Astor in Melbourne, the Valhalla was known for showing "classics" on a regular basis. I recall seeing Rocky Horror there when it was the Westgarth.
There was (is?) a seller on ebay who was selling off a large chunk of the Valhalla's posters after closure if I am remembering correctly.
I am sure that there were several other weird posters they had listed.
Or are we just talking about the Valhalla in NSW?

Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
Who knows what was going on with distribution back in those days? The owners of Valhalla might have known a cheap printer? They may have sold posters at the cinema (hoping for a cult following). Perhaps it was part of the distribution agreement to have posters made? The 80s were an odd time.
Re: The Horror Quiz
Aussie poster for Halloween still the best around for the film. No wonder it is commanding crazy money
Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
I wonder whether the Valhalla would have just relied upon their calendar to promote most films they didn't actually have a financial interest in? Many fridges at the time had a Valhalla calendar on them. Here's one from Sydney with the aforementioned Big Meat Eater.

I've never seen any for Plan 9 or Robot Monster. I did attend that double bill at the Valhalla back in the 80s.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Yes, I know that when I worked on films back in the 80s, a lot of them were made independently and had posters printed by the filmmakers even before they had distributors. Often they'd use a random printing company who did a good rate, and there was no sticking to the standard poster sizes. I worked on a few Paul Cox films and tried to get them to conform to a standard one sheet but I think they ended up being slightly different in size...oh well, I tried!theartofmovieposters said:There are a bunch of these, hmmm how do I say, odd daybills for this time period. I assume there was alot of this made and self distribution happening in the 80s?
