Description

The Curse of the Werewolf (Universal International, 1961). Fine+ on Linen. One Sheet (26.75" X 41.5") Joseph Smith Artwork.
The Curse of the Werewolf, Hammer Studios' sole venture into lycanthropic horror, stars Oliver Reed in a riveting, over-the-top performance as a young man cursed to transform into a werewolf under the full moon. Based on Guy Endore's The Werewolf of Paris and directed by Terence Fisher, the film blends Gothic atmosphere, tragic storytelling, and unflinching mayhem into one of Hammer's most memorable entries. The film's legacy is further immortalized by Joseph Smith's striking, blood-spattered poster art, widely regarded as some of the finest ever to grace a Hammer horror one sheet. Airbrushing and some replacement to the borders and touchup to the folds has corrected edge and fold wear, pinholes, creases, fold separation, small crossfold separation, a few tears, some stains including ink stain bleedthrough and tape stain, and some chips. The poster now presents beautifully.
