I've never seen this poster before:



Looking at the small print on the bottom, it's for a screening on April 3rd, 2012, at the Alamo Ritz, 320 East 6th Street, Austin, Texas

Love that poster, the image is almost as good as the famous streetlight image that's been used to death (and paid homage to in the latest episode of the TV series)

The classic streetlight image was inspired by the painting 'The Empire of Lights' by René Magritte

It's an inspired piece of lighting, framing, and composition, and is arguably one of the most recognisable images in the history of cinema.

Great minds think alike! You said "horror cinema" – I think that image is so recognisable that its 'iconic' status applies to the medium as a whole and not just a specific genre.

'The Exorcist' rated 'A'? Must be a mistake



I wonder if any children actually turned up, expecting to be able to see the film
