If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that I have only seen this poster once before (and that one was in lesser condition)! The commonly seen poster from this classic movie has purple coloring in the title letters and in the bottom credits area, and this poster has neither. It comes to us from someone who managed a theater at the time, so it is not some sort of printer's test. It seems that this poster was intentionally printed without the purple. We are also selling another one-sheet from The Exorcist that has purple letters, but no purple in the credits area. That poster reads, "(TO BE DISPLAYED ON YOUR PREMISES ONLY.)" in the lower right. My best guess as to the origin of these two posters is that, after the movie opened, and it was a monster hit, they ran out of one-sheets, and printed up black and white ones and rushed them to theaters, and apparently then printed ones that had purple letters (maybe because theater owners complained about the black and white one, but then why no purple in the credits?), and added the bottom line about "your premises", because theater owners were either giving them away or selling them! If anyone knows more about either of these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. In any event, they are both really cool! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
