🖼️ Design & Features: Bold psychedelic-style design in orange, navy, and white. Repeated title motif (The Uncanny) printed in multiple layers with a distressed, jittery aesthetic. Central image of a frightened woman, rendered in duotone blue for dramatic effect. Highly stylised and very ‘70s in its layout, making it desirable to poster art collectors.

Collectors’ Note: A cult favourite among horror anthology fans and lovers of 1970s British horror. Daybills are less frequently seen than UK quads. The cast — especially Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasence — adds to collectibility.
