There's a camp send-up of old sci-fi films coming out, called The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. They do a very convincing job of mimicking the typography and effects of the time in the trailer. It also looks pretty funny.

It's really great! I'm going for it!

I give the trailer five stars for era-accurate typography. The music, camerawork, etc. seem right on target as well.

By the way, if you go to the website for the movie (Go here first, then click on "Enter Site") there's more stuff to see. The "collectible" artifacts ("Skelectibles") are very nicely done.

It reminded me of a B movie my father made in the late 50s or early 60s called The She Creature. My mother also did some calligraphy for movies during the 70s. I love this stuff.

Thanks Chris for this post I got a big smile watching that clip.
