NOT OF THIS EARTH 1957 Movie Poster - Refrigerator Magnet

A Glimpse into Mid-Century Sci-Fi Horror

This refrigerator magnet brings to life the chilling artwork of the 1957 film "Not of This Earth." The design, a quintessential example of mid-century science fiction cinema, immediately evokes a sense of dread and cosmic unease. The poster's visual language speaks volumes about the film's core themes: fear of the unknown, alien invasion, and the fragility of humanity.

Iconic Imagery: Fear and the Cosmos

The design typically centers around a terrified face, often a woman screaming, symbolizing the primal human reaction to terror and the unknown threat lurking within the film. This frightened figure is juxtaposed with the alien or a saucer graphic, frequently stylized and rendered in a dynamic way that suggests movement and impending danger. This juxtaposition creates a visual tension that captures the movie's core conflict: the vulnerability of the human against an unearthly intruder.

Bold Typography and Cosmic Elements

Large, bold lettering spells out “NOT OF THIS EARTH” in a distinctive mid-century sci-fi font, instantly establishing the film's genre. The use of cosmic elements, such as stylized stars, nebulas, or swirling lines, serves as a backdrop, reinforcing the otherworldly theme and creating an immersive experience. The overall design effectively combines these elements to build suspense and convey a sense of existential dread. Some versions includes a tagline that highlights the core concept, creating a chilling reminder of the unknown menace at large.

Symbolism of an Era

The artwork of the "Not of This Earth" poster is more than just a promotional tool. It is a time capsule, encapsulating the artistic conventions and anxieties of the 1950s. The visuals reflect the era's fascination with space exploration, its concerns about societal threats, and its willingness to embrace the fantastical. This magnet captures the essence of that cultural moment.

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.
