An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 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!

Important Added Info: Note that there is considerable confusion over who created the art for this poster. Some say it is by Reynold Brown and others say it is by Albert Kallis. If anyone has definitive evidence as to who created the art, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. It had many staple holes and smudges around the edges, with some staple holes scattered in the image. 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. 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.
