Auction History Result 2p140 UNDEAD 40x60 '57 Roger Corman, cool art of huge skeleton reaching for sexy Allison Hayes! Date Sold 11/4/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60") (Learn More) The Undead, the 1957 Roger Corman monster horror thriller ("Terror... that screams from the grave!"; "A thousand years of naked terror!") starring Pamela Duncan, Richard Garland, Allison Hayes, Val Dufour, Mel Welles, and Billy Barty (as The Imp). Note that there is a very unusual aspect to the one-sheet! The words of the title were created with each of the letters cut off half-way, with the bottom half of each letter "mis-matching" the top half of each letter! One sees this with three-sheets where the bottom piece and the top piece were not printed correctly, and they don't match up, but in this case, this was something that was done intentionally (perhaps to give the poster a kind of "spooky" look to it and fortunately, on the actual three-sheet for this movie, the area where the two pieces join falls 2" above the mismatch"; it would have been really funny if they had made the mismatch be exactly where the two pieces join on the three-sheet)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Albert Kallis Condition: good. The entire poster has darkened somewhat. There are many horizontal creases scattered through the poster caused by rough handling when it was being rolled and while it was rolled. There is an 8" jagged tear in the left of the bottom border, with a triangular area of surface paper loss in the credits, and someone put tape on the back of that area. There is a 7" diagonal tear in the right of the top border and someone put paper tape on the back of that area. There is a 10" vertical tear in the top center of the poster and someone put tape on the back of that area. Certainly, the poster has many real defects, but it still displays pretty well, and certainly, a talented restorer could paperback it, and after proper restoration, it will look great!
