Auction History Result p426 HORROR linen one-sheet movie poster '32 cool stone litho art! Date Sold 3/21/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Horror, the 1932 Bud Pollard F.P. Pictures India monster horror thriller ("Chills and thrills in a drama of mystery and madness!"; "A Bud Pollard Production") starring Leslie King, Jimmie Kelo, Ilene Myers, Reed Brown Jr., Gus Alexander, John Gray, Raja Rabold, and Nyreda Montez. This is a lost movie, although approximately half of it survives, but it is not a complete half, as it is a heavily edited version. Someone who viewed this fragment says that the movie concerns a man who stole an idol from an Indian temple, and was cursed for it, and that caused him to have hallucinations, and ultimately he is driven mad by the curse. Movie paper of any kind from this film is extremely scarce. Some show an ape-like creature, a snake, and a deformed man. Those images are likely from the hallucination scenes, and the deformed man is from a scene where the lead character has a "Jekyll and Hyde" transformation! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had a 1" x 2 1/2" of paper loss at the top crossfold, and tears, creases, and small areas of paper loss on most foldlines. There were tears, smudges, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. The poster was well linenbacked, and the above defects were well corrected. This poster has had real restoration, but it was well restored, and I would think any collector would be happy to display it on their wall. Of course, you could wait for a better example of this poster to come along, but how many decades might that take?! Learn More about condition grades
