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 is an extremely rare poster that is almost never offered for sale. Partly, this is likely due to the movie getting a very quick re-release in 1956, which might have used up all of the original posters at that time, and it is also likely partly due to this movie being incredibly popular for both Spook Shows and Saturday matinees! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There is staining and tiny tears in the bottom half of the far right of the right blank border. There are staple holes in the corners and some faint creases and smudges around the edges. There is minor wear on the foldlines. Learn More about condition grades
