Romero's Dawn of the Dead (released in some English-speaking countries as "Zombie: Dawn of the Dead", "Zombies", and "Zombi One"), the 1978 (released in the U.S. in 1979) George A. Romero undead zombie horror thriller ("When there's no more room in Hell the dead will walk the Earth"; "First there was 'Night of the Living Dead' Now George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead"; "There is no explicit sex in this picture. However, there are scenes of violence which may be considered shocking. No one under 17 admitted"; a sequel to Night of the Living Dead; Dario Argento can be considered a producer of this film because he helped raise money to make it, though he is billed as the "script consultant") starring David Emge, Ken Foree, Scott H. Reiniger, Gaylen Ross, David Crawford, David Early, Richard France, Tom Savini, and music by The Goblins with Dario Argento. Note that this movie was first released in Italy in September of 1978. It was first released in the U.S. in New York in April 1979 and in Los Angeles in May 1979, and then had a wider release in late May of that year. All of these releases are part of the "first continuous release", and none are "re-releases". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Lanny Powers Important Added Info: This poster is the very rare first one-sheet created for this movie! Some people believe that at first, there were solely 16mm prints for the first U.S. release of this movie, and was shown mainly in drive-in theaters and "B" movie theaters which didn't show big studio movies (because theater owners did not believe it would do well in such a theater!). Once the film started gaining popularity, it was given a wide release in 35mm, and a second one-sheet (with the same image, but with the title in red) was created for that 35mm release. We can't be 100% certain this is accurate, but almost all collectors accept that the green title style came before the red title style, and that it is far more rare than the red title style. Note that we are separately also auctioning a "red title" one-sheet from this movie. Condition: good to very good. There is a rating box at the bottom center of the poster, which ends with "No one under 17 will be admitted". Apparently, the theater that used this poster did not enforce this, because there are four pieces of clear tape around the box (one on each side) that obviously held some snipe that was covering that area. There is a pair of staple holes in each corner of the image in the background, and some tiny creases on small parts of some folds, with tiny surface paper loss in the left 4" of the top horizontal fold. The poster was lightly partially folded in half an extra time. There are tiny brown stains in the top center of the head of the central figure, next to the red (see our image). Someone wrote "998" in the bottom right corner. After being linenbacked by a talented professional, the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
