Auction History Result 3f0944 CRAWLING EYE military 1sh 1958 classic art of eyeball monster w/female victim, ultra rare! Date Sold 11/22/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Military One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Crawling Eye (released in England as "The Trollenberg Terror" [see below for more info]), the 1958 Quentin Lawrence English horror science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("The nightmare terror of the slithering eye that unleashed agonizing horror on a screaming world!"; "Warning - if you've ever been hypnotized do not come alone"; "A man dissolves... And out of the oozing mist comes the hungry eye, slave to the demon brain!"; "A DCA release, the company that brought you 'Rodan'"; "Waiting! Watching! Wanton! None can escape this slithering terror spawned from a nuclear hell lusting for another taste of human blood... maybe yours!") starring Forrest Tucker, Laurence Payne, Jennifer Jayne, Janet Munro, and Warren Mitchell. Note that, based on English newspaper theater ads from 1958 and a 1958 English trade ad, it's very likely that "The Trollenberg Terror" was only shown on a double-bill with "Call Girls" in England, and individual promotional material was not created.

We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! This was found with a group of one-sheets that were from a California Air Force Base, and EVERY single one-sheet from that group were from 1958 (a few were from 1957)! It seems a certainty that someone at the Air Force base put them in a stack in 1958 and that they remained there for decades! There were seven of these military one-sheets that we are auctioning individually in this set of auctions, and there was a Vertigo military one-sheet which will be in our December Major auction, and also a number of much lesser ones which will be in our next bulk lot auction, and then there will be no more from this amazing find! This is a military one-sheet. Military one-sheets were printed at the same time as the regular U.S. one-sheets when the movie was first released. They were made to be used on U.S. military installations. Sometimes the poster has small writing at the bottom that says "For Distribution and Use at U.S. Military Establishments Only", and sometimes they just have "Litho in U.S.A." or "Printed in U.S.A." in small letters in the lower right or lower left. Condition: very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right. It has minor fold and border wear but otherwise the rare military poster is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
