🖼️ Design & Features: Bright illustrated artwork with dramatic, stylised characters against a haunted house backdrop. Vivid colour blocks of red, blue, and yellow lend a pulpy gothic charm. Title font and shadowed figures enhance the “chiller” feel. Excellent representation of early '60s British genre poster design.


Collectors’ Note: While not a top-tier cult horror title, this film is well-regarded among British mystery-horror fans. The Australian daybill version is less commonly seen than the UK quad, increasing collector appeal locally.
