Inferno
It is extraordinary how many otherwise obscure horror and sci-fi movies got a run in major cinemas in the late 1970s and 80s. It seemed distributors were throwing everything ever filmed into the ring and seeing how it faired. I knew nothing about this Dario Argento film at the time and never saw it. Just loved the spooky poster.

On the back of the clipping:
Dawn Of The Dead (1980)
I'd read a lot about this movie in Starlog and Starburst magazines and I really wanted to see it. Alas I was five years away from being of legal age and had to wait until it arrived on VHS tape.

On the back of the clipping:
The Awakening
An old-school horror film released in 1980 in the midst of a slasher and zombie film explosion. Needless to say it was a box office dud. I didn't see it but I loved the poster enough to add to my newspaper clippings collection.
On the back of the clipping: a bottle of 1976 Wynns Coonawarra Hermitage then for sale at $2.75 recently sold at auction for a grand total of.... $27.50. Like The Awakening it hasn't aged very well.
