Jaws Merchandise Part Two

my collection of Jaws paperbacks.

 

A rather battered version of the original novel

 

Jaws 2 novelisation, notably based on the first version of the screenplay rather than the final film

 

 

 

Night of the Loving Dead - Nekromantik Merchandise!

With the news that the infamous Nekromantik has finally been passed by the British censors and will be out on Blu-ray via Arrow later this year - uncut, no less - it seems apt to post a couple of Nekro products from the time the film first came out.

 

 

This is the original soundtrack seven inch picture disc.

 

And here is the frankly weird comic book!

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. 

Jaws Merchandise - part one

I was a big fan of Jaws back in the day - still am, in fact. I've seen it on ever theatrical release since it first came out and owned a lot of Jaws merchandise - the game, the 'shark in a bottle' model kit, the soundtrack LP, the sew on patch, the T-shirt and more. Most of these have long since been lost, but I did manage to hold on to the coffee mug and the necklace (I also still have the soundtrack LP and Lalo Schifrin disco single, but those are for another day...).

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?
