Auction History Result w280 UNDEAD linen one-sheet movie poster '57 Corman, sexy Allison Hayes! Date Sold 11/7/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Undead, the 1957 Roger Corman monster horror thriller ("Terror... that screams from the grave!"; "A thousand years of naked terror!") starring Pamela Duncan, Richard Garland, Allison Hayes, Val Dufour, Mel Welles, and Billy Barty (as The Imp). Note that there is a very unusual aspect to the one-sheet! The words of the title were created with each of the letters cut off half-way, with the bottom half of each letter "mis-matching" the top half of each letter! One sees this with three-sheets where the bottom piece and the top piece were not printed correctly, and they don't match up, but in this case, this was something that was done intentionally (perhaps to give the poster a kind of "spooky" look to it and fortunately, on the actual three-sheet for this movie, the area where the two pieces join falls 2" above the mismatch"; it would have been really funny if they had made the mismatch be exactly where the two pieces join on the three-sheet)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Albert Kallis Condition: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at each crossfold and pinholes near the center of the poster. There was paper loss in the top of the vertical foldline that extended into the background above the skull head, but not into the skull head. There were many pinholes around the edges of the poster and some in some image background areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the person who did the restoration did not do as much as they might have to restore the defects described above, and if I owned this poster, I would likely have another restorer perform additional restoration (likely without re-backing the poster).
