There will be a special Fright Break during the showing of 'Homicidal'. All those too timid to take the climax will be welcomed to the Coward's Corner!"; "The story of a psychotic killer!"; "The picture with a 'Fright Break!' Money back guarantee for cowards only!"; "There will be a special Fright Break sometime during the running of 'Homicidal'.

Note that director William Castle was famous for his wacky gimmicks (this was lovingly parodied in the movie "Matinee"). In this movie, the gimmick was that there was a special "fright break" where those who were too frightened by the movie could take refuge in a special "coward's corner".

Also note that most 40x60s from this period were printed on a heavy stock and usually only sent to theaters rolled. However, the studios would also sometimes make special 40x60s that were created on a somewhat thinner paper and were folded when they were created. We can't say for certain that this poster was sent to theaters folded, but it is printed on a "one-sheet-like" paper, so we think that is very likely. Condition: good to very good.
