No problem. I'm pretty sure that I have some more information about this film. I will see if I can find it and post it here.

Another Daybill that I have never seen before ...
(Quote) They are great posters!These weren't "official" daybills so might not count in finding the last known daybills. They were printed to promote sales of T Shirts at the original screenings and are very cool posters. I had mine signed by John Jarratt and Greg McClean.

(Quote) Yes, there is always a large amount of junk in big collections. I have always found it hard to be ruthless and trash the ones posters that are damaged and / or worthless but the mountain of posters just keeps growing.(Quote) I have seen those nice B Grade posters you have pictured turn up in various places but I don't have multiples of them. I guess someone must have them. The multiples I have cover a wide range of titles from silent to present day and c…
