George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (released in some English-speaking countries as "Zombie: Dawn of the Dead", "Zombies", and "Zombi One"), the 1978 (released in the U.S. in 1979) George A. Romero undead zombie horror thriller ("When there's no more room in Hell the dead will walk the Earth"; "First there was 'Night of the Living Dead' Now George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead"; "There is no explicit sex in this picture. However, there are scenes of violence which may be considered shocking. No one under 17 admitted"; a sequel to Night of the Living Dead; Dario Argento can be considered a producer of this film because he helped raise money to make it, though he is billed as the "script consultant") starring David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott H. Reiniger, Gaylen Ross, David Crawford, David Early, Richard France, Tom Savini, Sharon Hill, Taso Stavrakis, Robert Saunders, Jim Krut, John Harrison, Warner Shook, Robert Langer (billed as "Bob Langer"), Bob Michelucci, Charles Gordon, Debra Gordon, Christian Dryden, Christopher Sullivan, John Kiss, Ed Letteri, Gary Marlatt, Jean Ann Boshoven (billed as "Jeanine Jefferies"), Jim Balawajder, Joe Shelby, John Amplas, Leonard Lies, Mark Cooper, Marty Schiff, Melissa Dunlap, Michael Gornick, Tom Dubensky, Mike Christopher, Molly McCloskey, Nick Tallo, John Paul (billed as "Paul Musser"), Ralph Langer, Randy Kovitz, Renee Banks, Rosemary Rixey, Trudy Gray, Vincent Thomas Vok, and music by The Goblins with Dario Argento. Note that this movie was first released in Italy in September of 1978. It was first released in the U.S. in New York in April 1979 and in Los Angeles in May 1979, and then had a wider release in late May of that year. All of these releases are part of the "first continuous release", and none are "re-releases".

Important Added Info: This poster is the very rare first one-sheet created for this movie! Many collectors agree that at first, there were solely 16mm prints for the first U.S. release of this movie, and was shown mainly in drive-in theaters and "B" movie theaters which didn't show big studio movies (because theater owners did not believe it would do well in such a theater!). This 16mm print was created from the Cannes Film Festival version which was 139 minutes long. Once the film started gaining popularity, it was given a wide release in 35mm with a version that had been edited down to 127 minutes, and a second one-sheet (with the same image, but with the title in red) was created for that 35mm release. We can't be 100% certain this is accurate, but almost all collectors accept that the green title style came before the red title style, and that it is far more rare than the red title style!

Condition: good. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right and it was folded over horizontally a few extra times as well (see our image). There are creases scattered in various areas throughout the poster, and there are some pinholes around the edges. There is a small sharp crease of the "D" in "DEAD". It is otherwise "all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
