Date Sold 7/5/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A REPRODUCTION Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Howard Hawks' The Thing From Another World!, the classic 1951 Christian Nyby science fiction (sci-fi) monster horror thriller ("The Thing from another world!"; "How did it get here?"; "Natural or Supernatural?"; "Howard Hawks' Astounding Movie"; "Look out... it's The Thing from another world!"; produced by Howard Hawks; based on the story by John W. Campbell, best known for being the editor of Astounding Science Fiction!) starring Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan, Robert Cornthwaite, Dewey Martin, Paul Frees, John Dierkes, Eduard Franz, James Arness (in the title role as The Thing From Another World!), William Self, and Billy Curtis (as the miniature "Thing" in the final sequence when the monster appears to shrink). Note that this movie had a very unusual poster campaign, where the letters of the title were made to look like body parts ("blood and guts"!), with wires coming off of the letters. Almost all the posters had this basic design. The pressbook calls all of them "teaser" posters and says "This display material was designed for an advance teaser campaign, as well as for general use". So obviously, they intentionally wanted to have the posters not reveal much about the movie, as a way to get people interested and get them into the theater.

It measures exactly the same size as the original poster, and it has high-quality printing. It will look great on the new owner's wall and most people would not realize they are not looking at an original poster! But few people would be fooled into thinking it is an original when they hold it in their hands and look at the back, because it is printed on a thinner paper stock, which is pure white on the back. Reproductions like these like these were created by a company that mostly sells them to people who have always dreamed of owning one of these very expensive posters, but can't afford an original (but they also sell some to people who DO own an original, but want a reproduction to display so they don't have to worry about the original fading on their wall). We were consigned a total of 26 of these high-quality reproductions, and they are in 26 separate auctions. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
