Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things is a 1972 B movie directed by Benjamin Clark.

The interlocking face used for the title of the movie is a bloodied Filmotype Mason. Secondary typefaces include the lighter Filmotype Omaha, what looks like Trade Gothic (or, perhaps, News Gothic), and a casual italic face.

  1. Bryson points out that there’s a digital font based on this use. Named Children shouldn’t play with dead things, it was made by Thomas W. Otto of Norfok in 2001. To my knowledge, this is the only digitization of Mason.
