I thought of Happy Birthday to Me when I saw this artwork for 1979's Terror. It's certainly more eye-catching than the one-sheet design they ended up going with, which you can see below. I had never seen the hilarious--intentionally, I presume--copy that accompanied the famous Happy Birthday to Me key art until now and I'm left wondering what came first: the artwork or the copy? Either way, pure genius.

Posters look fantastic man! I must get that first one! AND see the film!
Hey Rupe,
I don't know if that TERROR artwork was ever used as a poster or just as an industry ad. From what I've read about the film, I'm not sure how fitting that "shish kebab" artwork actually is! :-) But, I will say that the actual one-sheet is a little dull for my tastes.
James Aubrey?! 'The Smiling Cobra'? The former MGM chief who presided over the sale of Dorothy's red shoes and was the model for 'Robin Stone' in the film of Jacqueline Susann's 'The Love Machine'?
