Dawn of the Dead Press Stills issued in Spain by distributor Izaro Films in 1978

11 press stills or more precisely fotos de prensa, as they are referred to by distributors in Spain. Material intended to exhibitors. The total number of press stills issued by Izaro Films is unknown to me but 11 seems unlikely. Could the set be of 12, the missing still being the one used at the bottom of the press sheet issued by Izaro Films? The late Barcelona based distributor from whom I acquired them had 11 in his archives.

After further investigation, I discovered that only ten days prior I acquired the set, the late Barcelona based distributor unfortunately sold the set's "Title Card" separately. Needless to say, I am desperately looking to locate one.

Dawn of the Dead Pressbook issued in Ireland by Target International in 1980

"Zombies" 4 pages pressbook or more precisely "exhibitor's campaign book", as they are commonly referred to by distributors in the United Kingdom. Material intended to exhibitors. Just like the Target International quad posters issued in Ireland, the "When there's no more room in HELL" tagline was too censored from exhibitor's campaign books making sure advertisement would be made without it  While censoring the taglline was achieved by adding black paint on the quad posters, the tagline was cut out from exhibitor's campaign books. My copy was acquired through Vertigo Posters based in Ireland. Here's what Noel Devereux, Vertigo Posters' owner, had to share with me about it:

This pressbook came from the collection of the late Pat Billings who worked for the RTE TV Guide in Ireland. He had amassed a huge collection of pressbooks by the time he passed away several years ago now. I was lucky to buy some off his wife.

Pat would do the reviews in the TV guide of movies that were on the TV from week to week. I have to say though I don’t remember it on Irish TV, most probably been shown on one of the British channels.
