Hello,

In 2007 Fincher put out a mostly verbatim Halloween card for his Zodiac movie.

It was verbatim except for the skull eye, especially the right eye. A big deviation.

Any thoughts on why this happened?

Copies of copies. These are electronic files of perhaps 5th, 6th+ generation copies. Stuff got washed out. Like the eye.

On this FBI copy, both set of skull sockets are empty like they should be.

You can even see part of the outline of where where the transparent plastic orange mask was on the left skull.

Are you saying the Movie Reproduction is a more accurate representation of what the card looked like?

Did Fincher have access to the original Halloween Card?

Thanks,

Shawn

Hi Shawn.

There’s some info on the making of the card for the movie here… http://www.discjunkie.se/?page=viewdetails&id=39

I think there’s also a YouTube video link on the site.

Thanks for the Link!

It appears from the Youtube Video, the insert info card that came with the Movie Reproduction Halloween Card reads that the card was reproduced from scans that SFPD has.

Maybe the SFPD has better scans than the FBI.

To me, the question is, what is the meaning of the disfigured Right Eye Socket of the Movie Reproduction card? If done purposely
by the Zodiac Killer.
