An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Blob, the 1958 Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr. science fiction (sci-fi) horror comedy thriller ("The Indestructible creature! The Blob"; "Bloated with the blood of its victims!"; "The management of this theatre disclaims any responsibility for heart attacks or damage to nerves."; "Certified"; "In Color!"; "Indescribable... Indestructible! Nothing can stop it!"; "It's indescribable! It's indestructible! Nothing... can stop it!"; "From an idea by Irvine H. Millgate") starring Steve McQueen (very young in this role; billed here as "Steven McQueen"), Aneta Corsaut (billed as "Aneta Corseaut" on the first release posters), Earl Rowe, Olin Howlin, Stephen Chase, John Benson, and George Karas. Note that the music for the title song for this movie was written by Burt Bacharach! Note that even though Steve McQueen was top billed in this movie, he was not yet known to the general public, and his image was not used on the posters (which DO have great art of the blob monster engulfing the townspeople). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: poor to fair. As can be seen in our image, the poster has much writing and some scribbles in various areas including at lower left (with some cross out in McQueen and Yeaworth's name) and in the white areas of the title "BLOB" (see our image). Some of the writing is in pencil and some of it is in pen. It has wear and some creases along portions of the folds and there are tape stains around the edges (the original tape was not used for any restoration purpose). Other than the areas that are crossed out and the lower right portion of the last "B" in "BLOB" the writing falls in areas of blank paper and certainly a talented restorer could restore the poster, after which it would display well, but see our super-sized image and bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
