GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN 1958 Movie Poster - Refrigerator Magnet

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic artwork from the 1958 film, "Giant from the Unknown." The design perfectly encapsulates the bold, sensational style characteristic of 1950s B-movie advertising.

A Menacing Presence

The visual centerpiece is undoubtedly the towering figure of Vargas, the resurrected conquistador. His imposing size, exaggerated through the artist's hand, immediately conveys a sense of danger and otherworldly threat. This giant represents the film's antagonist, a force of destruction unleashed upon a small community.

Drama and Fear

The artwork utilizes common horror tropes to amplify the sense of fear. The inclusion of terrified townsfolk, often depicted fleeing or screaming, emphasizes the impact of the giant’s rampage. Dramatic lightning effects, often portrayed with jagged lines and flashes of light, create a sense of chaos and the supernatural. These elements work together to establish the film's core themes of peril and the unknown.

Sensationalism and the Promise of Thrills

Bold title lettering, often oversized and strategically placed, grabs the viewer's attention and reinforces the film's title. The overall design prioritizes shock and excitement, appealing to viewers' desire for thrills and a good scare. It represents the era's marketing strategies, designed to draw audiences into the cinema with an exaggerated vision of the film's core story.

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.
