And you will no doubt recall, especially considering its number is written on its bottom right corner, that still is #17 in the NoDS Editor's Portfolio. The interesting thing about it, though, is that, unlike most of the other stills that are a part of that portfolio, I don't recall it ever having been published anywhere back in the day, or even today...

When I wrote that I was thinking of magazine articles and such, not foreign promotional materials. But today it dawned on me that Still #17 was used as part of the Italian Lobby Cards (note how it also features NoDS Editor's Portfoloio Stills #25 & #42) -
- how soon I forget.
An interesting thing about the Italian title of the film is that it translates as The House of the Cursed Shadows, which seems more like the film's working title, Curse of Dark Shadows, than it does the release title, Night of Dark Shadows. I wonder if that's because the Italian title was decided upon before the film was renamed Night of Dark Shadows? If so, it's sort of like the Curse of Dark Shadows title lived on...
