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. Artist: Joseph Smith Important Added Info: Note that this set of lobby cards has no title card. Apparently, a theater was annoyed by that, and they had some local artist create their own title card, using a piece of what was likely a 30x40 (because it is heavy stock and has silkscreen printing on the back; there is too little of it to tell what movie it is from). The unknown graphic designer did a fantastic job creating this. It is surely one of a kind, but bear in mind that it is not studio issued, and was surely created by a local theater or a poster exchange. Condition: very good. Two of the scenes and the local theater title card are in pretty nice condition. The fourth card has a Canadian censor stamp in the lower right (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
