I thinks what Grey saying is. SCARE THE THYIT OUT OF THEATRE PATRONS? Fabulous poster that seems to blend elements of sideshow ballyhoo design with film.

Rich, My most sincere apologies. I have always known Duotone to denote a two color image but in reality, Todd is correct, in that this looks to be a three color image, when in fact is more like four or five colors when seen in person and was obviously not done to save money, as duotone was often for that purpose, but to scare the H___ of theater patrons! There could not be a more perfect Halloween-like image! It is stupendous in person!

Two plates of the same image would be made with halftone patterns placed at different angles. One plate would print a black or dark color, and the second plate would print a lighter tint, often of the same color over it. Grey, I've come to expect very precise use of the English language from you. If you continue to cheapen this wonderful piece by using the incorrect term I will bid no more than 100,000 of your dollars!

Whereas the red and black Warners efforts mostly are not. Is duotone correct when it's stone-litho? Dunno.
