An Original 1975 Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Black Christmas (released in the U.S. in 1975 as "Silent Night - Evil Night"), the 1974 Bob Clark Canadian Christmas horror thriller ("If this picture doesn't make your skin crawl... It's on Too Tight!"; "Christmas is coming early this year. And it's murder."; "Black Christmas will rock you too!") starring Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, John Saxon ("as Lt. Fuller"), Marian Waldman, Lynne Griffin, Art Hindle, Doug McGrath, Nick Mancuso, and Julian Reid. Note that this film was planned to be released in the U.S. as Black Christmas (as it was in Canada), but studio execs thought that title might cause people to think it was a blaxploitation film, so it was changed to Silent Night Evil Night. However, during the continuous first release, the title was changed back to Black Christmas in some U.S. areas, sometimes as a double-bill with a blaxploitation movie (which was likely intentionally deceptive)! We have seen two one-sheet posters that have Black Christmas printed on them, as well as a herald and pressbooks, but otherwise all of the U.S. posters of all different sizes have the Silent Night Evil Night title (although many of them have Black Christmas snipes over the U.S. title).

Artist: Robert Tanenbaum Important Added Info: Note that the original title of this Canadian movie was Black Christmas, but the American distributor switched the title to Silent Night - Evil Night (for fear that it would be thought of as a blaxploitation film). However, they then changed the title back to Black Christmas soon after the first batch of one-sheets were printed. The distributor created a very large snipe with the new title, and sent it along with the one-sheet to theaters showing the movie. The one-sheet offered here has the large snipe taped to the one-sheet over the original title. Condition: fair to good. There is a large snipe glued at bottom (see above) and it has discolored significantly, and that discoloration is found in other areas of the poster (and the snipe is loosening from the poster). It was partially exposed to moisture while folded and the top and bottom crossfolds have "softened" and have paper loss. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this poster prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
