An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) I Married a Monster from Outer Space, the 1958 Gene Fowler Jr. romantic science fiction (sci-fi) alien horror thriller ("Written by Louis Vittes"; about a woman who gets married to a somewhat odd man, and it turns out he has been possessed by an alien, and that they are preparing to take over the Earth) starring Tom Tryon, Gloria Talbott, Chuck Wassil, Maxie 'Slapsie Maxie' Rosenbloom, and Peter Baldwin. Note that this movie clearly "borrows" heavily from the plot of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which was released two years before (and that movie borrowed heavily from the Robert Heinlein novel "The Puppet Masters", which had been published in 1951). The makers of this movie did not have nearly the budget that Invasion of the Body Snatchers had, but they did the best they could with what they had to work with! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded twice (once horizontally and once vertically) right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good to fine. there are creases, scuffs, smudges, and some tiny tears around the edges of the poster; the image area is basically quite nice; there is a scuff in the "M" of "MONSTER" and a few light scuffs in the solid areas at left; there are a few faint creases throughout the image. Overall, I think any collector would be quite happy to display this poster, and it is unfolded! Learn More about condition grades
