Artist: Marc Stone Important Added Info: Note that original vintage movie paper of any kind from this early English horror movie is INCREDIBLY scarce, especially items from its original English release! In all the years we have done auctions, we have sold one U.S. lobby card (which sold for $4,494!), a still, and a Spanish herald, but no other original movie paper items! Note that this is a country of origin item for this English movie (it is a program-like book, filled with images from the movie, and with a credits and synopsis page on the inside front cover. But it has a list of the film service branches on the inside back cover, indicating this book was almost certainly sent to theater owners to get them to book the movie, and was NOT sold to the general public in any way. Also note that we have photographed the front cover and three of the two-page interior spreads. Condition: good to very good. There are some faint smudges and scuffs on the covers and they are "curling" slightly. The interior pages have varying degrees of water staining around the edges, as can be seen in our images. The book has had no restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
