THE DEADLY MANTIS 1957 Movie Poster - STICKER Decal

This striking decal brings to life the iconic artwork of the 1957 film, *The Deadly Mantis*. It captures the essence of 1950s monster-movie poster design, a bold testament to an era captivated by science-fiction horror.

A Monstrous Spectacle

The central focus is, of course, the monstrous praying mantis, a gargantuan creature rendered in vibrant greens and yellows. Its imposing form is typically set against a backdrop of a darkened cityscape or a stormy sky, emphasizing the scale of its threat and the impending doom.

Fear and Spectacle

The design effectively communicates both fear and the thrilling spectacle of the film. Often, human figures are depicted fleeing in terror, dramatically illustrating the mantis's destructive power. The overall composition aims to generate a sense of awe and apprehension, inviting the viewer into the movie’s world of monstrous terror.

Symbolism

The Deadly Mantis itself represents the fears of the atomic age, as well as the unknown dangers of science and the natural world. The creature's immense size and predatory nature symbolize both the destructive potential and the untamed power of nature, challenging humanity’s place in the world.

A Slice of Sci-Fi History

This decal embodies the pulp-horror aesthetic, with dramatic lighting and bold typography, it encapsulates the spirit of the era and the allure of monster movies, reflecting an audience’s fascination with the unknown.

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.
