BELA LUGOSI MEETS A BROOKLYN GORILLA 1952 Movie Poster - Refrigerator Magnet

This refrigerator magnet brings to life the iconic poster design of the 1952 B-movie Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla. The artwork is a vibrant snapshot of classic 1950s design, a bold and dramatic layout that instantly grabs attention.

A Clash of Worlds

The design masterfully captures the film's eccentric blend of horror and comedy. Prominently featured is Bela Lugosi, his image conveying the intense, dramatic undertones of horror. Lugosi often appears in a dramatic pose, hinting at the classic monster movie tropes of the time. Interwoven with Lugosi, jungle imagery and a gorilla figure—or even the gorilla suit itself—visually represents the film's chaotic and adventurous side.

Bold Typography

The title "Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla" is presented in bold, stylized lettering, often rendered in eye-catching red or orange. This typographic choice is meant to immediately alert the viewer to the film's title and genre mash-up of horror and comedy.

Comedy Duo and Chaotic Scenes

Adding to the visual storytelling, the poster typically includes depictions of the comedic duo, Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo. These characters are often placed within humorous jungle scenes, showcasing the slapstick elements that were key to the film's appeal. These scenes serve to emphasize the film's comedy-horror blend.

Era Reflected

The poster's overall aesthetic is a clear reflection of 1950s design. The use of bold colors and dramatic compositions was a common tactic in the low-budget film scene, designed to draw audiences to a unique blend of horror and slapstick comedy.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
