Arkoff & Roger Corman) starring Vincent Price, John Kerr, Barbara Steele, Luana Anders, Antony Carbone, Patrick Westwood, and Lynette Bernay NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Fred Fixler Important Added Info: Note that the art on this poster has many times been falsely attributed to poster artist Reynold Brown (and also the art on the "Comedy of Terrors" posters) on several websites (including ours!). However, a collector has now informed us the actual artist is Fred Fixler (born Nandor Lipschitz), who was a successful Hungarian illustrator, and that artist has the original art from his posters for both these movies on his website. Since none of his poster art was signed, he could also have created several other posters that have been mistakenly credited as Reynold Brown art, and this could help solve the mystery of the artist whose work looks like Reynold Brown, but isn't Reynold Brown! Condition: good to very good. The poster has tiny creases, tears, and bits of paper loss along portions of the lower vertical foldline, left half of the lower horizontal fold, and along portions of the upper horizontal fold (see our image). There is small pencil writing at lower right. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
