An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (measures 30" x 40") (Learn More) The Vampire, the 1957 Paul Landres monster horror thriller ("A new kind of killer to stalk the screen!"; "It claws... it drains blood!") starring John Beal (in the title role as Dr. Paul Beecher), Coleen Gray, Kenneth Tobey, Dabbs Greer, Lydia Reed, Herb Vigran, Paul Brinegar, Ann Staunton, and James Griffith 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 30x40 has a silkscreen printed poster with an actual black & white photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the lower left corner of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Also 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: good. The poster was folded like a one-sheet, and there are creases and scuffs on most folds. The bottom horizontal foldline is cracked across the entire photo image at lower left. The right 3" of the poster was folded back at one time, and there are two areas to the right of that foldline near the middle of the poster where there is much staining and some surface paper loss. There are many creases, smudges, and stains around the edges of the poster, and some creases throughout the poster. Amazingly, with all of the above defects, the poster does not display all that badly! I could imagine some collectors displaying it on their wall as is! IN THIS SPECIAL HALLOWEEN AUCTION, we have given a more detailed overall condition grade along with more details about the condition described in words. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, plus there are some defects (like separation on folds, tape on the back, extremely tiny pinholes, etc) which can be VERY difficult to see, even in our largest "super-sized" image. Therefore we strongly recommend that you BOTH read our written description of the item, AND ALSO look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
