Auction History Result 7j0542 THING 1sh R1957 Howard Hawks classic horror, it strikes without warning, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/22/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1957 Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Howard Hawks' The Thing From Another World!, the classic 1951 Christian Nyby science fiction (sci-fi) monster horror thriller ("The Thing from another world!"; "How did it get here?"; "Natural or Supernatural?"; "Howard Hawks' Astounding Movie"; "Look out... it's The Thing from another world!"; produced by Howard Hawks; based on the story by John W. Campbell, best known for being the editor of Astounding Science Fiction!) starring Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan, Robert Cornthwaite, Dewey Martin, Paul Frees, John Dierkes, Eduard Franz, James Arness (in the title role as The Thing From Another World!), William Self, and Billy Curtis (as the miniature "Thing" in the final sequence when the monster appears to shrink). Note that this movie had a very unusual poster campaign, where the letters of the title were made to look like body parts ("blood and guts"!), with wires coming off of the letters. Almost all the posters had this basic design. The pressbook calls all of them "teaser" posters and says "This display material was designed for an advance teaser campaign, as well as for general use". So obviously, they intentionally wanted to have the posters not reveal much about the movie, as a way to get people interested and get them into the theater.

Important Added Info: Note that we have never auctioned an example of this 1957 re-release one-sheet poster before! We THOUGHT we had auctioned it a number of times, but the poster we sold multiple examples of (which closely resembles this poster) is actually the undated 1960s re-release (we are emailing the buyers of those posters offering them refunds, because we mis-described the release year). APPARENTLY THE TRUE 1957 RE-RELEASE ONE-SHEETS ARE UNBELIEVABLY RARE, WHICH IS WHY WE MADE THE ABOVE MISTAKE! We know this poster is the "true" 1957 re-release, because it has the NSS stamp on the back and the NSS information on the front. Condition: good to very good. The poster was attached to a wall with pinholes and with tape in the top and bottom and there are pinholes and tape stains in those areas. There is separation at the top crossfold which has a piece of tape on the back of it and some creases below the left half of the top fold. Learn More about condition grades
