Important Added Info: I understand that taglines on movie posters often stretch the truth quite a bit, but the "monster" in this movie was not trying to "hunt human mates".

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had minor wear on the foldlines. It had tiny paper loss at the right end of the bottom horizontal fold, in the blank border, and some minor other wear in the right blank border. It has a rating stamp in the bottom right yellow background area. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
