An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

Homicidal, the 1961 William Castle female psychotic killer horror mystery thriller ("Special 'Fright Break'. 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'. All those too timid to take the climax will be welcomed to the Coward's Corner... where upon their admission price will be 'sneerfully' refunded and they will be discretely drummed out of the Brotherhood of the Brave-Hearted!") starring Glenn Corbett, Patricia Breslin, Eugenie Leontovich, Alan Bunce, James Westerfield, and Joan Marshall (billed as "introducing Jean Arless"). 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".
