Smaller... Smaller and moment by moment the terror mounts!..."; "Victim of Weird mist!"; "Day by Day he shrinks!"; "Science is baffled!"; "Cat becomes monster!"; "Terror at every turn!"; "Deadly spider attacks!"; "Lost in a floods fury!"; a highly literate screenplay by Richard Matheson from his own novel; surprisingly, the studio did not force Matheson to tack on an artificial "happy" ending, and it is lucky, for most people think the movie's actual ending is wonderful!; the special effects are primitive by today's standards, but they are very powerful, and work just fine) starring Grant Williams (in the title role), Randy Stuart, April Kent, Paul Langton, Raymond Bailey, William Schallert, and Orangey (as the cat Butch; Orangey was also Cat in "Breakfast At Tiffany's!")

The poster had an extra horizontal fold at the top and bottom of the poster. It had small tears, creases, and tiny paper loss on parts of many folds, and pinholes and some tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Also, after it was backed, it acquired a 1 1/2" tear in the right border to the right of the top of the "N" of "MAN", and it extends into the image background, with the paper slightly "lifting" from the linen in that area. Any restorer could easily re-glue this area without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
