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 a different style of one-sheet for this movie that is full color. This style is red and black, and it was clearly printed for drive-in showings of the movie, because it has the great tagline "The entire family should see this picture in the privacy of their automobile!" (we don't even want to think about what kind of mother and father would take their children to see this movie!). What seems amazing is that they apparently still had the lecture from the "Eminent Hygiene Commentator" (we wonder if he talked to the people over the loudspeakers outside their cars?)!
