Important Added Info: Note that one of the best known poster restorers in the hobby, Dario Casadei, owns the original of this poster. It was used in Greenwich Village at a midnight showing, and was created by the legendary St. Marks Cinema, where the movie was shown. Of course, this would have made an incredible "regular" poster for the movie, but this image was surely considered too intense for mainstream audiences. A great added touch is the "Mohawks Half Price" that they apparently truly offered! When people were posting their favorite poster in their collections on online forums, Dario posted an image of this poster, and lots of people asked him to make a copy of it for them. In 2005, he created 25 prints that measure 8 1/4" x 11", and he put a stamp on the back numbering them from 1 to 25, and he signed each (and he has never made anymore, and will not). They quickly sold out, and this is the first time we know of one of those 25 being offered for sale or auction since they were created in 2005! Condition: very good to fine. The limited edition REPRO is in nice condition (note that the original poster has condition defects and is unrestored, and those defects are reproduced in this limited edition REPRO).
