Date Sold 11/8/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Night of the Demon (this was also re-cut and released in the U.S. as "Curse of the Demon"), the 1957 Jacques Tourneur English horror thriller ("Horror!"; "Most terrifying story the screen has ever told!"; "Hell on Earth! Skeptical? Don't make up your mind till you see this masterpiece of the macabre!"; "Demons! Monsters from Hell!"; "You will actually see them on the screen!"; "Terrifying!!"; "Scenes of terror never before imagined! Satan's most horrifying creatures loose in a modern city!"; "Based on the story 'Casting the Runes' by Montague R. James") starring Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins, Niall MacGinnis, Maurice Denham, Athene Seyler, and Liam Redmond. Note that although the demon's image is one of the '50s most iconic monsters, it was not in the original English version of the film (Night of the Demon), and only appears in the American re-cut version (Curse of the Demon). Director Jacques Tourneur wanted to create a brooding, moody film of the type he had done for Val Lewton in the 1940s. But the producer of the American version was Hal E. Chester, better known as Hally Chester, one of the East side Kids with Billy Halop, Huntz Hall, et al in the early 1940s. Against Tourneur's wishes, he re-cut the film for its American release with its new title, and with the cheesy looking monster appearing not only at the end but at the beginning too, absolutely killing off suspense and anticipation. Ironically, it's that image that's most closely associated with the picture in the minds of most horror/sci-fi fans. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been graded and authenticated by mpgrading.com. This means that a separate 8 1/2" x 11" paper comes with the poster, and that it has been "encrypted with a unique 9-digit serial number with invisible DNA-laced ink" which has been hidden somewhere in an unobtrusive portion of the poster. On the certificate, the poster has been given a grade of "fine + (7.5)", but of course, that grading scale is not the same as ours (see below). Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. There is a 1/2" tear in the border at upper right and there is approximately 1/2" of separation in the left end of the middle horizontal fold (both repaired with tape from the back). There are some creases and smudges scattered throughout the poster including some in the stars images at center. There is a small ink pen mark in the yellow background at lower right. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and if one chose to have it restored it would look fantastic, although I'm sure many collectors would be quite happy to display it just as it is!
