From the ICFH Archives: Orgy of the Living Dead Pressbook (1972)

From Orgy of the Living Dead-Trailer "A":

"The Madman"-John Austin Fraiser. The 1 sheet offered in the advertsing campaign from Europix.

This man's name is John Austin Fraiser.

He lived in Chicago, Illinois.

He now resides at the state mental hospital.


We are saddened to tell you that this tragic condition was brought about when Mr. Fraiser attended the World Premier of our Triple Nightmare of Horror program- Orgy of the Living Dead.


Since this tragic event, the producers of this explosion of terror have established an insurance policy. Ensuring the sanity of each and every patron who attend this program.


The policy states that in the event you lose your mind or suffer from irrevocable trauma from viewing this avalanche of grisly horror, the producers of this film will ensure that you receive psychiatric care until such time as you are cured -OR- in the event that your derangement is permanent, provide you with interment in an asylum for the rest of your natural life.


Poor John. It isn't surprising, though. After all, murder, mutilation, death, blood-sucking vampires, dead things crawling from their graves, living dead maniacs, slashing, rending, devouring the living, it's enough to drive anyone mad.


If you have any psychological deficiency, you will not be allowed to attend this Orgy of the Living Dead. The insurance is absolutely free. We urge you to take advantage of this protection. Anyone entering without it does so at his own risk.


Ladies & gentlemen, in so much as you are not now insured and in the light of what has happened to Mr. Fraiser, you will understand why we cannot show you any more than these brief glimpses of this triple avalanche of grisly horror- Orgy of the Living Dead. Please pick up your policies from the box office and have them ready when you enter the theater to see- Revenge of the Living Dead, Curse of the Living Dead, and Fangs of the Living Dead.
