Info Post
There wasn't a lot of variations to Columbia Pictures' ad campaign for Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Basically, the night time road into the glowing hills and/or the Devil's Tower silhouette featured in pretty much in all of the advertising in the U.S. and abroad. But why not? They're striking, memorable images, and have become iconic in the minds of those of us who grew up in the late 70s. (Actually, I'm not 100% certain that second poster was actually used in theaters; I can't help but think that it looks like a consumer poster. Anyone know for sure?)

When the 1980 Special Edition came around, Columbia went for something a little less iconic, but certainly effective...
