The final night of Halloween Horror Nights 24, November 1st, 2014, saw this poster’s appearance in Sting Alley. It’s a theatrical movie poster for “Supernatural,” a 1933 Paramount film starring Carole Lombard. In the course of the movie, Lombard’s character interacts with a fake spiritualist before being possessed by the spirit of a murderess.
The 2014 poster, aside from extensive weathering and aging, seems consistent with the 1933 original. The most obvious addition is that of the text fragments interspersed among Lombard’s fingers. These fragments are easily deciphered by simply reversing the letters, as seen below:
| LINE: | CIPHER: | DECODED: | LOCATION: |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TOILLE | ELLIOT | “E.T.” attraction KidZone |
| 2 | LEBAM | MABEL | “Blues Brothers” show stage Delancey Street, New York |
