An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Poster Snipe (measures 9 3/4" x 14 1/4") (Learn More) The Day of the Triffids, the classic 1962 Steve Sekely English science fiction (sci-fi) plant horror thriller ("Beware the Triffids... They grow... Know... Walk... Talk... Stalk... And Kill!"; "From the greatest science-fiction novel of all time!"; "Spine Chilling Terror"; "The Triffids are coming! The Triffids are growing! The Triffids are killing!"; "A brain-chilling tale of tomorrow happens in our world today!"; "The Triffids are coming to devour the human race!"; "From the greatest science-fiction novel of all time!"; "... suddenly the hideous crawling things are everywhere... and no one can escape!"; "From the nightmare novel that made the world shudder"; "From the Novel by John Wyndham, author of 'Village of the Damned'") starring Howard Keel, Nicole Maurey, Janette Scott, Kieron Moore, Mervyn Johns, and Janina Faye. Note that Janette Scott is best remembered for her starring role in this movie, which was immortalized in the lyrics of the song from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that says "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills." She divorced her first husband and married Mel Torme in 1966, which pretty much ended her career, as she quickly had two children. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there is nothing on this poster (front or back) to indicate what country it came from. It was consigned to us along with a large group of Australian one-sheets and daybills, so it may be from Australia but we do not know if the film was even released in Australia. We are guessing it is a special snipe that was glued to a movie poster, perhaps a three-sheet or six-sheet (it would likely have been glued to the poster while it was used PRIOR to the movie opening, to indicate that the movie had not opened yet). Also note that this snipe was never machine folded! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
