A knowledgeable collector tells us that this may be the first film to use the desert of the American Southwest as a setting for a horror film. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this page was removed from the RKO 1942-1943 campaign book, and nicely linenbacked. The ad had printing on the reverse, and the person who backed it wisely used black rice paper behind it rather than white rice paper, because that makes the "bleed-through" from the writing on the back far less than it would be had they used white paper (see our image). Note that because of the size of this, it could be sent rolled in a tube, or it could be sent in a large flat package (which would make sense to do if the winning bidder has other large flat items to combine it with).

Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
