Important Added Info: Note that just about everyone agrees that the image on this poster, which is completely different from the U.S. posters, and posters from other countries, is the best image created for the first release of this classic Halloween movie. It is very desired by collectors, and the last example we auctioned (in our 2017 Halloween auction) sold for $1,500! Also note that this Australian one-sheet measures 25 3/4" x 38" [65 x 97 cm], but it has not been trimmed, and, for unknown reasons, that is the size it was when it was created! What IS linenbacking?
