The Hallmark intern who compiled this poster for CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFE hates their job. At least I hope that explains it. So bad, I had to double check it was real, and not something a fan put together. Nope, this is actually what Hallmark has put out. 😬

the INVISIBLE MAN is imho probably the best of the OG universal horror films. it is delightfully unhinged and the invisibility effect is still astonishing all of these years later
got a hankering to watch one of the best movies ever made
