I've got a trailer for the 1951 sci-fi film The Thing From Another World on Super 8mm.
B/W sound and runs for 1.5 mins.
The actual film has the title of "The Thing From Another World"
however the printing on the leader says "They Came From Outer Space" and it is the original leader.
Interesting!

Quite interesting indeed! Maybe the source print had incorrect/other leader spliced on and it was reprinted that way?

That make sense Evan as there are no joins and as it gets close to actual trailer it is printed "The Thing".
