An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #8 (Death in the Dark) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Monster and the Ape, the 1945 Howard Bretherton science fiction (sci-fi) horror serial ("Amazing! Fantastic! Weird! Thrilling!"; "A Columbia Chapter Play") starring Robert Lowery, George Macready, Ralph Morgan, Carole Mathews, Willie Best, and Ray Corrigan (uncredited as "Thor" the ape!). 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.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two first release one-sheets from this serial, and only one in the last 17 years! What IS linenbacking?

The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
