The Honeymoon Killers (2000 Issue)

A Japanese B5 double-sided movie flyer issued in 2000 for Leonard Kastle’s The Honeymoon Killers (1970). Its lavender-pink front pairs a black-and-white portrait of Ray and Martha with playful lettering, while the blue-printed reverse presents film stills, Japanese commentary, and screening information.

Martha sits on a large travel trunk, with Ray leaning close behind her. Set against a lavender-pink background, their black-and-white portrait almost resembles an unconventional honeymoon photograph. The cheerful headline across the top is undercut by a small, darkly comic aside: “the bride is in the trunk.”

The rounded white title lettering adds another layer of visual incongruity.

On the reverse, the design shifts to blue monochrome. A full-length photograph of Martha occupies the centre, accompanied by a vertical sequence of film stills, Japanese critical commentary, production credits, and cinema schedules. Together, the two sides capture the distinctive graphic treatment of the film in its 2000 Japanese publicity.
