An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Teaser One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Omen, the 1976 Richard Donner English/U.S. Satanic Antichrist horror thriller ("It is the greatest mystery of all because no human being will ever solve it. It is the highest suspense because no man can bear it. It is the greatest fear because it the ancient fear of the unknown. It is a warning foretold for thousands of years. It is our final warning. It is 'The Omen'"; "You are one day closer to the end of the world."; "You have been warned."; "If something frightening happens to you today, think about it"; "It may be 'The Omen'"; "Those who foretold it are dead. Those who can stop it are in grave danger."; "Two thousand years ago his birth was foretold. He's now 5 years old. And his time has come."; "Written by David Seltzer") starring Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw, Harvey Stephens (as Damien), and Patrick Troughton NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is the rare re-called style A teaser from this movie! It is hard to photograph but the boy's shadow at upper left forms an upside-down cross that extends into the center of the poster (it is easier to see in our super-sized image). When this poster first appeared, religious leaders were outraged at the sacrilegious portrayal of an upside-down cross and this poster caused much controversy. So much so that the poster was pulled almost immediately and new teasers were issued with a less controversial wolf's shadow image. Please bid knowing that this is the rare "re-called" version of this teaser! Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Fantastic" (1970s and later horror/sci-fi). Condition: good to very good. There is some fold and border wear. There are some creases scattered in various areas. Learn More about condition grades
