Day of the Dead Display standee

This *cough* three dimensional standee was produced to be displayed in UK cinema lobbies, though how many actually were is anyone's guess. 

Taxi Driver CED Video Disc

One of the more short-lived video formats, the CED video disc was an LP-sized movie system that featured a floppy disc held in a case - you inserted the entire package into the player! It was actually played with a record player-like stylus, and was only good for about 60 plays before it would be worn down to a point of being unwatchable.

As unappealing a format as it was, the actual discs are often things of beauty, and I'll be uploading my collection over the next few months. First up, this amazing artwork for Taxi Driver - a 1983 release.

The Haunting (of Hill House) Film Tie In

The June1962 Popular Library movie tie-in edition of Shirely Jackson's 1959 original (here sold for 40c instead of the $3.95 Viking Press hardcover. The Haunting is copyrighted as 1963 on the cover, interestingly, and the film wasn't released until September of that year. The most logical explanation for this is that the publishers accidentally stated 1962 instead of 1963 as publication date. Anyone know more?
