Auction History Result 6t024 ROBOT MONSTER linen 3D 1/2sh 1953 worst movie ever, art of ape creature & girl, ultra rare! Date Sold 6/11/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Robot Monster, the 1953 Phil Tucker 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller (perhaps the worst movie ever made; "Moon monsters launch attack against Earth!"; "Moon monsters launch Earth attack!"; "Adventures into the Future"; "How can science meet the menace of astral assassins? New science-fiction thrills!"; "Monsters attack Earth!"; "Adventures into the future in NEW Tru-3 dimension!") starring George Nader, Claudia Barrett, Selena Royle, John Mylong, Gregory Moffett, Pamela Paulson, George Barrows, and John Brown (in the title role as the voice of the robot). Note that "Plan Nine From Outer Space" has often been mentioned as the worst movie ever made, but many people feel this movie is a strong contender for that title! The making of the movie is as interesting as the movie itself (it was shot in four days, it "steals" special effects from other movies, etc). 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 one-sheets and lobby cards from this classically bad movie are regularly auctioned, although most of those have had snipes over the "3D" area (when the posters were used in theaters that did not have 3-D). But the inserts and half-sheets from this movie are incredibly rare! We have only once auctioned an insert (4 years ago) and it sold for $1,750, and we have only once auctioned another example of this half-sheet (3 years ago), and it sold for $1,438! Note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D and 2D posters and lobby cards (the 2-D posters and lobby cards were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the "3-D" release. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had snipes over both 3-D areas, which left glue stains in those areas. It also had many creases scattered throughout, including a long diagonal crease in the lower center of the poster. It had many pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly 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.
