An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) War of the Colossal Beast (released in some English countries as "The Terror Strikes"), the 1958 Bert I. Gordon AIP science fiction (sci-fi) military giant colossus monster horror thriller sequel ("The Towering Terror From Hell!"; "See a sixty-foot giant destroyed... In Color!"; "From a Story by Bert. I. Gordon") starring Sally Fraser, Roger Pace, Duncan 'Dean' Parkin (billed as "Dean Parkin"; in the title role as the Colossal Beast, originally played by Glenn Langan in the 1957 movie "The Amazing Colossal Man"), Russ Bender, and Rico Alaniz. Note that while the movie was promoted as being "In Color", only the last scene (which was under a minute) was in color during it's theatrical run. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had a fair amount of paper loss at the bottom crossfold, a smaller hole at the middle crossfold, and tiny paper loss at the top crossfold. There were tears, creases, and tiny paper loss on most foldlines and there were pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges of the poster. The poster was pretty nicely linenbacked, and you really don't see the restoration that was performed. I would think most collectors would be happy to display this poster on their wall!
