An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Giant Leeches (also released as "Attack of the Giant Leeches", and released in England as "Demons of the Swamp"), the 1959 Bernard L. Kowalski AIP monster horror thriller ("Crawling horror... unleashed by the depths of hell to kill and conquer!"; "Crawling horror... rising from the depths of Hell... to kill and conquer!"; "Written by Leo Gordon") starring Ken Clark, Yvette Vickers, Jan Shepard, Michael Emmet, Dan White, and Tyler McVey. Note that the IMDb says that the title of this movie was "Attack of the Giant Leeches", but all of the first release U.S. posters simply say "The Giant Leeches". However, some first release U.S. stills have "Attack of the Giant Leeches" and a collector tells us that the movie itself shows that title on the copies he watched! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had some faint creases and scuffs scattered throughout the image. It had some smudges, stains, and paper loss around the edges, which affected the NSS number at lower right. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and the restorer attempted to correct the NSS number, but they were given wrong information, and they put "59/912" instead of "59/92". One could either have this fixed by a restorer, or simply live with it. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
