Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Homicidal, the 1961 William Castle female psychotic killer horror mystery thriller ("Special 'Fright Break'. There will be a special Fright Break during the showing of 'Homicidal'. All those too timid to take the climax will be welcomed to the Coward's Corner!"; "The story of a psychotic killer!"; "The picture with a 'Fright Break!' Money back guarantee for cowards only!"; "There will be a special Fright Break sometime during the running of 'Homicidal'. All those too timid to take the climax will be welcomed to the Coward's Corner... where upon their admission price will be 'sneerfully' refunded and they will be discretely drummed out of the Brotherhood of the Brave-Hearted!") starring Glenn Corbett, Patricia Breslin, Eugenie Leontovich, Alan Bunce, James Westerfield, and Joan Marshall (billed as "introducing Jean Arless"). Note that director William Castle was famous for his wacky gimmicks (this was lovingly parodied in the movie "Matinee"). In this movie, the gimmick was that there was a special "fright break" where those who were too frightened by the movie could take refuge in a special "coward's corner". 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: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good to fine. There are minor creases in the poster but more so in the foldlines and borders. There are several small tears and pinholes in the borders. There is some separation at a few of the crossfolds.. Note that this week on eBay eMoviePoster is selling hundreds of large-sized movie posters. Some of these (mostly three-sheets and six-sheets) were large enough that they were printed on two or more separate sheets (this was because the printing presses at that time could not print larger single sheets). Such posters are designed to overlap, and they have marks at the top and bottom of each section that show where the poster's pieces should be placed so that the poster image is correct. This presents are problem for us in photography! If we put the pieces of poster together prior to photography, it is very time consuming, and difficult to do without possibly damaging the poster, even a little bit. So instead, we photograph each piece of the poster separately, and then digitally combine the separate images, overlapping them so that the image views about the same as it would if the poster pieces were correctly placed together. BUT SINCE THE PIECES ARE SHOT SEPARATELY, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT THE INDIVIDUAL PICTURES WILL HAVE DIFFERENT LIGHTING AND/OR BE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SIZE! So sometimes our images of multi-piece posters will give you the impression that part of the poster is a different darkness or size from the rest of the poster. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! It is just the result of photographing the pieces separately. If the pieces DID have a different color or size, we would note that in the auction description! Learn More about condition grades
