AND SOON THE DARKNESS (1970) Movie Poster - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This decal features a design inspired by the classic movie poster artwork for the 1970 British thriller, And Soon the Darkness. The visuals capture the film's core themes of suspense, mystery, and the unsettling isolation experienced by the protagonists.

Design Overview

The primary design often draws inspiration from the UK/US theatrical posters. These typically showcase a woman running or desperately trying to escape through a vibrant, yet unsettling, rural landscape. The bright colors of the countryside create an eerie juxtaposition with the sense of impending danger, emphasizing the protagonist's vulnerability and the vastness of her isolation.

Symbolism and Meaning

A key visual element, often present, is the bicycle wheel. This detail immediately grounds the design within the context of the film, symbolizing the cycling holiday and, crucially, the disappearance that drives the narrative. The placement of a figure in the grass near the wheel hints at the film's central mystery – the vanishing act – and the uncertainty surrounding the missing character's fate.

The overall composition aims to generate a feeling of unease. The use of striking imagery against a seemingly idyllic backdrop hints at the darkness that lurks beneath the surface of the picturesque French countryside. The poster art, in its essence, embodies the film's core narrative: a story of innocence threatened and the chilling presence of hidden danger.

The translated title versions, such as "Il Mostro della Strada di Campagna," illustrate how the visual concept could be adapted for international audiences, whilst retaining the core elements of the original designs.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
