Zombie [Zombi 2 (1979)] - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - September 18, 1980

While I do not remember seeing this, or any, newspaper ad for Zombie, I do vividly recall being freaked out by this TV spot that most likely aired on KTVU (Channel 2) during Creature Features:


I have no idea where Zombie opened in August, but it opened in the San Francisco Bay Area in mid-September. A brief check of TV listings for the weekend of the 19th suggests that this spot may have been broadcast during the Saturday night broadcast of Creature Features. The movie being shown that night was Die, Monster, Die! (1965).

Or, maybe, the spot was aired the next weekend, when Creature Features aired Comedy of Terrors (1963).

Nothing is ringing the memory bell in my brain, though. So it goes.
