the 1960s English double-bill release ("Every horror you've seen on the screen grows pale beside the horror of... The Black Scorpion"; "Don't be ashamed to scream - it helps to relieve the tension!"; "It will freeze the blood in your veins!") of The Black Scorpion, the 1957 Edward Ludwig Mexico City giant scorpion science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller ("We defy you not to get a genuine case of the horrors when you see 'The Black Scorpion'"; "Black -- so you can't see him until he's ready to get you! Bloodless -- That's why he wants yours!"; "Uncut! Shown exactly as filmed!"; "Don't be ashamed to scream! It helps relieve the tension!"; "We urge you not to panic or bolt from your seats!"; "Every horror you've seen on the screen grows pale beside the horror of 'The Black Scorpion'"; "He'll get you - scared stiff!"; "NOTE: The management reserves the right to put up the lights any time the audience becomes too emotionally disturbed!"; "Shown Uncut! Every terror exactly as filmed"; "Don't be afraid to scream! It helps relieve the tension!"; "Story by Paul Yawitz"; special effects by Willis O'Brien in his last credited film) starring Richard Denning, Mara Corday, Carlos Rivas, Mario Navarro, and Carlos Muzquiz. Note that (apparently to save money!) the movie is set in Mexico City, which allowed the producers to hire an almost completely Mexican cast, no doubt at far lower salaries than that of their Hollywood counterparts! AND Macabre, the 1958 William Castle horror thriller ("'Macabre' means horror!"; "Any member of the audience is insured for $1000.00* against Death By Fright during the performance of this terrifying picture! '*Except people with a known heart or nervous condition'"; "So terrifying we insure you for $1000 Against Death By Fright!"; "Based on The Frightening Novel by 12 World Famous Authors of Terror and Mystery!"; "Filmed from the shocking book by 12 world-famed mystery and terror authors!"; "The most blood-chilling horror show ever filmed in Hollywood!") starring William Prince, Jim Backus, Christine White, Jacqueline Scott, Susan Morrow, Ellen Corby, and Philip Tonge

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this film is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this English double-bill until we were consigned this poster! Note also 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: good. The poster has some staining at left in portions of the title area and creatures' face (see our image). There is some fold separation in that same area that is backed with masking tape. There are some tiny edge defects. After proper restoration the very rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
