"Day of the Triffids" Original Lobby Card #1. "Day of the Triffids" aka "Invasion of the Triffids" is a 1962 film adaptation of the great book by John Wyndham. Triffids are semi-intelligent man-eating plants that can travel and communicate with each other. They are a minor threat until most of humanity is struck blind after watching a dazzling meteor shower. The newly blinded people cannot defend themselves from the killer plants, so they rely heavily upon the few sighted people who, for whatever reason didn't watch the meteor shower. Great movie, though it's never been remastered and released in decent quality on DVD. Sadly, the VHS is the best quality out there. The British mini-series from 1981 is even better than the film and a near perfect adaptation of the novel. The latest (2009) mini-series is a poor adaptation but still fun to watch. The CGI triffids are pretty cool. Here's the trailer for the movie. 1962.

"Burn Witch Burn" Original Half Sheet. I just watched this movie last week. Actually, the version I got is the PAL dvd called "Night of the Eagle." It's pretty cool. A man realizes his wife has been practicing witchcraft. She's got weird stuff stashed all over the house, like a spider in a little box in the clothes drawer. Well, he makes her burn it all. She says she won't be responsible for what happens without her "protection." It turns out there's another witch out to get him and things start going downhill fast. Check it out if you can find it. Originally, you could get "Burn Witch Burn" on one of the first Midnite Movies but I haven't seen that one available for years.

"Cabinet of Caligari" Half Sheet. I just liked the art and have never seen the movie. 1962.
