If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
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? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had an extra vertical fold 1/2" to the left of the regular one, with some creases on parts of the folds and a few small scuffs scattered in the image. It had a few creases around the edges and some smudges in the lower right area above the credits. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
