LOS ANGELES TIMES, Aug. 10, 1986 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf), serving as a rare piece of cinematic ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement announcing the opening day release of  "THE FLY" starring Jeff Goldblum on one of the pages. (see images).

In addition to the featured movie ad, which captures the era's distinct theatrical promotional graphics and classic key art, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment and pop culture. Printed on authentic newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal piece for custom framing, film history display, or inclusion in a dedicated cinema memorabilia collection.

Background: What sets David Cronenberg’s 1986 remake of The Fly apart—and makes it a genuine rarity in cinematic history—is its unique ability to elevate a standard studio creature feature into an Oscar-winning, emotionally resonant tragedy of body horror. While most 1980s monster movies relied on cheap shock value, Cronenberg anchored the film in a remarkably grounded romance between Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, giving the visual degradation genuine emotional stakes. The film's most notable content lies in its groundbreaking practical special effects created by Chris Walas and Stephan Dupuis, who mapped Seth Brundle's transformation into "Brundlefly" across seven distinct, horrifying stages of anatomical breakdown involving elaborate prosthetics, slime animatronics, and full-body puppets. It remains exceedingly rare for a movie centered on sloughing skin, exterior digestive vomit, and grotesque genetic mutation to win an Academy Award (Best Makeup), or to be widely hailed by critics as a poignant metaphor for aging, terminal illness, and the AIDS epidemic—solidifying its status as a masterwork of sci-fi horror that has rarely been matched since.
