Auction History Result 6h0946 PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE linen 1sh 1958 directed by Ed Wood, arguably the worst movie ever! Date Sold 4/14/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Plan Nine From Outer Space, the 1958 Ed Wood (billed as "Edward D. Wood, Jr.") science fiction (sci-fi) zombie horror thriller ("Unspeakable horrors from outer space paralyze the living and resurrect the dead!"; some consider this to be the very worst movie ever!) starring Bela Lugosi, Maila Nurmi (billed as "Vampira"; as the Vampire Girl), Lyle Talbot, Gregory Walcott, Mona McKinnon, Duke Moore, Tom Keene, Carl Anthony, Paul Marco, Tor Johnson, Dudley Manlove, Joanna Lee, John Brechinridge, Norma McCarty, Lynn Lemon, Conrad Brooks, and Tom Mason (as "Ghoul Man with Cape Over Face"). Note that Lugosi died during the beginning of filming in 1956, but the ever resourceful Ed Wood (knowing his movie would be doomed without his top star) hired his wife Kathy's chiropractor to film Lugosi's scenes, and he dressed in a vampire-like outfit and held a cape high over his face, and no one knew the difference (and sadly, the chiropractor, Tom Mason, could not, of course, be credited on screen). There is some archival footage of Lugosi that Ed Wood used in the movie as well. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: David Lewis Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned ten examples of this "black style" one-sheet, and eight examples of the "blue style" one-sheet, but it has been ELEVEN years since we last auctioned one of these "black style" one-sheets, but in 2023, we auctioned a "blue style" one-sheet, and it sold for $5,500! What are the two styles? They are two different color variations on these one-sheets (the one we are selling here and one with slightly different coloring). We wondered if anyone feels one version was printed before the other, and so we checked with ultimate horror/sci-fi poster authority Ron Borst, and he tells us that "He feels that this was a printing variation and that's all." This confirms our opinion, which is that both variations are first release, and every major collector seems to feel the exact same way. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and just a few tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds, with tiny pinholes in the blank corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
