Auction History Result 8m036 FIEND WITHOUT A FACE paper banner '58 giant brain & sexy girl, mad science spawns evil! Date Sold 7/5/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 80" [61 x 203 cm]) (Learn More) Fiend Without a Face, the 1958 Arthur Crabtree English science fiction (sci-fi) monster horror thriller ("New Horrors! Mad science spawns evil fiends!"; "...Taking form before your horrified eyes!"; "Fiends take form before your horrified eyes!"; "New Horror Thriller!"; "Original Story by Emilia Reynolds Long") starring Marshall Thompson, Kynaston Reeves, Kim Parker, Terry Kilburn, Michael Balfour, Gil Winfield, and Shane Cordell. Note that this movie has a very misleading one-sheet. There is a brief scene with a girl coming out of a shower wrapped in a towel, but it lasts a few seconds in the movie. They took her image and put her in between the men and the monster, so moviegoers surely were expecting that scene that never developed! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). We have been consigned a wonderful collection of 133 of these paper banners, and we are auctioning them all, in 133 separate auctions. This is a great opportunity to acquire one or many of these rare posters! Condition: fair to good. There are many scuffs and stains scattered throughout the poster. There are some vertical creases scattered in the poster and some tears around the edges (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
