Date Sold 1/14/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 13 3/4" x 21 1/2" [35 x 55 cm]) (Learn More) Night of the Demon (this was also re-cut and released in the U.S. as "Curse of the Demon"), the 1957 Jacques Tourneur English horror thriller ("Horror!"; "Most terrifying story the screen has ever told!"; "Hell on Earth! Skeptical? Don't make up your mind till you see this masterpiece of the macabre!"; "Demons! Monsters from Hell!"; "You will actually see them on the screen!"; "Terrifying!!"; "Scenes of terror never before imagined! Satan's most horrifying creatures loose in a modern city!"; "Based on the story 'Casting the Runes' by Montague R. James") starring Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins, Niall MacGinnis, Maurice Denham, Athene Seyler, and Liam Redmond. Note that although the demon's image is one of the '50s most iconic monsters, it was not in the original English version of the film (Night of the Demon), and only appears in the American re-cut version (Curse of the Demon). Director Jacques Tourneur wanted to create a brooding, moody film of the type he had done for Val Lewton in the 1940s. But the producer of the American version was Hal E. Chester, better known as Hally Chester, one of the East side Kids with Billy Halop, Huntz Hall, et al in the early 1940s. Against Tourneur's wishes, he re-cut the film for its American release with its new title, and with the cheesy looking monster appearing not only at the end but at the beginning too, absolutely killing off suspense and anticipation. Ironically, it's that image that's most closely associated with the picture in the minds of most horror/sci-fi fans. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: 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: fair to good. The poster was printed 'off-register' giving it a somewhat blurry appearance. There is an approximately 5" circular tear in the lower left corner of the poster extending into the woman's red dress that has been repaired with much clear tape from the back and there is some tattering and small paper loss in the corners of the poster that has been repaired with paper and tape from the back. There are many other pieces of clear tape on the back of the poster around the edges (mostly in the corners), but they do not appear to be there for any restoration purpose. The poster has darkened slightly with age and there are minor creases throughout. Learn More about condition grades
