Meet the Witchmaker!

I have quite a few vintage film distributor press kits in my personal collection, and I thought it would be fun to share one since not only do they contain tons of info about the movies themselves, but they also contain some fascinating insight into the time era as far as 60's marketing and promotions went-- for example these kit excerpts for an odd little fright film I like a lot called The Witchmaker from 1969 (see the trailer HERE.) This press kit is a treasure trove of behind the scenes production info, advertising variant imagery for posters, displays, and photo stills, publicity material and bios, plus radio / television spot coupons-- but most importantly, all of the excitingly hilarious, and gimmicky exploitational promo ideas via stunts and contests to stir up excitement in your community during theatrical engagements. Read 'em and weep, man... seriously, if theaters did stuff like this in our day and age for films (outside of San Diego Comic Con, I mean) people would most likely get arrested! And hey, those of you unfamiliar with the film itself, check it out-- it truly is an underrated, creepy cool drive-in classic!
