The new Batman from a couple years ago had a secret code embedded in the one sheet that you could only read using a UV black light. I drink your blood / Eat your skin was dayglo and john Russo MIDNIGHT had a dayglo version as well.

What exactly would I be looking for to tell them apart? All the best. Sincerely, Paul W. Hazen From: MoPo List <mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU> On Behalf Of Helmut Hamm Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2023 12:55 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: [MOPO] UV Light I recently bought a the 'UV Beast' blacklight on Amazon that fellow MoPo member Peter Contarino had recommended. As expected, it is exactly what I had been looking for, so thanks to Peter for the tip! I mainly bought this in order to better identify teh amount of restoration in linenbacked posters, but I toyed around with this at the shop today, just before closing down. The lights were already turned off, so except for the UV light the shop was entirely dark. I noticed that not only the title on my German Style B poster for BERLIN EXPRESS: https://www.filmposter.net/en/berlin-express-original-release-german-movie-poster-272-1.html is in day-glo ink (not that big a surprise here), but also the title area and the orange top of the skull including the headphones on my SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL premiere poster: https://www.filmposter.net/en/the-rolling-stones-sympathy-for-the-devil-original-release-us-premiere-movie-poster-1538-1.html More by coincidence, both are framed next to each other, but especially on the Stones poster the effect is quite amazing! Just curious, is there anybody out there actually collecting day-glo movie posters?
