Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price.


An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures approximately 30" x 40") (Learn More)

Basket Case, the 1982 Frank Henenlotter evil twin horror comedy ("The tenant in room 7 is very small, very twisted, and very mad") starring Kevin Van Hentenryck, Terri Susan Smith, Beverly Bonner, Robert Vogel, and Dianna Browne. Note that this movie was originally released in 1982 by Analysis Film Corporation as a very limited release in New York City, and the rights to distribution were quickly purchased by Safir Films Ltd. and it was edited into a more comedic film, which the director thought would help to sell it better. The movie was released in Los Angeles by Safir, then played continuously during midnight shows and in other limited theaters and in Australia. It was later re-released in 1984 by Rugged Films, Inc. who were forced to re-release the movie as unrated due to threats of an X-rating from the MPAA!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this British quad was folded vertically three times and horizontally once. Because of this, this quad could either be sent in one of our oversized flat packages or in a tube, but the tube will likely cost less than the oversized flat package (because even when the poster is fully folded, it will not fit in our standard mailers). If the poster is purchased with items that MUST be sent flat, than it would likely be better to re-fold this item, so all the items can be sent in a single flat package. But please realize that because this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time it is likely that the creases have diminished and therefore re-folding the poster will likely bring some of those creases back, but we leave that decision as to whether or not to re-fold the poster up to the individual buyer of this item. UNLESS THE BUYER TELLS US OTHERWISE, THIS QUAD WILL BE SENT ROLLED IN A TUBE.

Condition: very good.
