SCHLOCK 1973 Movie Poster - Refrigerator Magnet: Design Overview

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic design of the 1973 Schlock movie poster, a humorous tribute to classic monster movie advertising. The artwork centers on the shaggy, ape-like creature, Schlock, the star of John Landis's comedy horror film.

A Spoof of Monster Movie Tropes

The central image directly references the dramatic pose and silhouette seen in posters for films like King Kong. Schlock is depicted holding an unconscious woman, a visual punchline that immediately signals the film's parodic intent. This imagery plays on the familiar monster movie trope of the beast and the damsel, subverting expectations with its deliberately goofy charm.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design’s primary symbolism lies in its overt embrace of the low-budget, B-movie aesthetic. The exaggerated pose and the creature's unrefined appearance deliberately clash with the polished marketing associated with big-budget monster flicks. This contrast underlines the film's self-aware humor and its intention to poke fun at the genre conventions of the time.

The tagline, when included, “a love stranger than KING KONG,” further emphasizes the film’s comedic approach, hinting at the unconventional relationship between the monster and the woman, a hallmark of the Schlock 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.
