Date Sold 7/23/2013Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Canadian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40" [69 x 102 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"), and Marian Waldman. 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). 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 we have been on the lookout for this poster for a long time! This is a country of origin poster for this Canadian movie with the "Black Christmas" title printed on it (instead of sniped). In the past, we have sold a pressbook created for the alternate release title of "Black Christmas" (apparently this was decided right after the "Silent Night Evil Night" posters were first printed). We have seen many U.S. posters with "Black Christmas" snipes over the original title, but this is the first time we have seen this country of origin poster with the "Black Christmas" title! Condition: poor to fair. There is a censor snipe at lower right and there is French writing and white paint across the top of the poster. There is MUCH separation and tattering and some paper loss along the foldlines and around the edges with several tape repairs on the back and some on the front around the edges. There are creases, smudges, and stains scattered throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
