Houdini is one of the worlds greatest showman. He believes in posters more than any other advertising method. He attributes his fame to his lavish use of paper. Follow his example on his picture and see what happens. [Pressbook for Houdini’s 1919 Movie]
Below are the One Sheet Posters for The Grim Game which many of us have seen:
Reproductions of the one sheet posters are available for sale on the internet.
Next blog on posters will include the Three Sheet Posters for The Grim Game. Then a Six Sheet Poster and last but not least, a Twenty-four Sheet Poster.
You know I’ve seen a still photo that that second poster was painted from. It’s an incredible shot!
I would love to see that. I have seen the still photo for the first one.
It’s in the archive of photos at the Academy Library. They have what appears to be a full set of Grim Game stills. MANY that have never been published.
Nice! The next best thing to seeing the actual movie would be to see ALL of the stills from the movie; both are goals of mine.
