Description

The Monster of Piedras Blancas (Film Service Distributing, 1959). Insert (14" X 36").
The producer for this movie, Jack Kevan, was the man behind the creation of The Creature From the Black Lagoon, a fact that could explain why the monster in this film looks so much like the Creature. All of the posters for this film list it as the head-liner of a double feature and also that it won an award from Forry Ackerman's Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine. When asked years later, Ackerman confessed that the producers never got an award from him, and in fact Forry never handed out any awards. Nevertheless, he appreciated the free advertising on the poster. Universally considered the best poster on this film as it includes a full-length image of the monster. The poster has been cleaned and pressed. Prior to restoration the poster showed a corner bend at the top right and pinholes in the bottom border. Rolled, Very Fine-.
