Auction History Result y089 BRIDE & THE BEAST half-sheet movie poster '58 Ed Wood classic! Date Sold 4/26/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Bride and the Beast, the 1958 Adrian Weiss jungle horror thriller ("Human mate for jungle brutes!"; "A Human mate for gargantuan brutes!"; "Please Don't Tell What Happens To The Bride!"; "Out of the night comes the spine-chilling mating call of the monster gorillas... And a human bride becomes the enslaved victim of jungle brutes!"; "Enslaved by gargantuan monsters of the jungle!"; "See It At Your Own Risk!"; "But don't tell what happens to the bride!"; "Can you take it? Will your heart and nerves stand the shocks of the strangest of all horrors?" "Screenplay by Edward D. Wood Jr.") starring Lance Fuller, Charlotte Austin, Johnny Roth, William Justine, Jeanne Gerson, and Ray Corrigan (uncredited as "Spanky the wife-stealing gorilla"!). Note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit! 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 poster has LOTS of problems! There are a bunch of light white stains around the beast's head. There are many tears, creases, and smudges around the edges of the poster. There are ripples across the top and bottom of the poster. There is paper loss in the left of the bottom blank border. There is paper loss in the right corners, and some person attempted to "restore" the poster by putting brown tape on the back of those areas and letting that serve as replacement! Normally, I would think all of the above defects are a major detraction, but somehow it seems fitting that this poster from this really awful Ed Wood movie should be in equally awful condition (plus the defects are not the sort that prevent you from enjoying the ridiculously campy image and great taglines)! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
