Beginning of the End, the 1957 Bert I. Gordon giant grasshopper insect science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy thriller ("New Thrills! New Shocks! New Terror!"; "Filmed In New HorrorScope!"; "'We may have to use the "A" bomb to destroy the giants!'") starring Peter Graves, Peggie Castle, Morris Ankrum, Thomas B. Henry, Than Wyenn, James Seay, Patricia Dean (not credited, but she is pictured prominently on many of the posters for this movie!), and Frank Wilcox
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook has a cool die-cut cover (the black grasshopper figure at top can be punched out). It also has uneven sized pages to create the cool "tabs" at the bottom. Because of this die-cut figure and the tabs, it is incredible rare to find this pressbook with the die-cut figure included and with the bottom of the cover not tattered. Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald that was included with it, and it is pictured next to the pressbook below. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)!

Condition: good, WITH CUTS. The pressbook is missing the die-cut grasshopper from the cover (which often happens with this pressbook).
