A black, white and yellow poster featuring the French title Le Réveil Dans La Terreur (The Awakening in Terror) and Flemish title Het Vreselijk Ontwaken (The Awful Awakening). The poster also features images of Gary Bond aiming his gun during the kangaroo hunt, and Donald Pleasence with two-up coins over his eyes.
Using a stark three-colour scheme and a brutal font, this poster effectively captures the all-pervading tension of the film. It's a dramatic, diagonal composition that suggests Gary Bond is actually shooting Donald Pleasance. Pleasance, with the 'dead man coins' over his eyes, is an iconic image from the film and the artist rightly uses it for the poster.
