Description

Creature from the Black Lagoon (Universal International, 1954). One Sheet (27" X 41").
In the dark and swampy back waters of the Amazon lives one of the most terrifying monsters of all horror films, the human like Gill-Man. Originally shown in 3-D, the eerie atmosphere and lifelike creature who murders members of a scientific expedition and carries off the lovely Julia Adams, had 1950s audiences shrieking and shaking in their seats, and wanting more. The Gill-Man was to reappear shortly in two Universal sequels: Revenge of the Creature and The Creature Walks Among Us. This spectacular one sheet, with artwork by Reynold Brown, has three small tears in the top border, and a pinpoint crossfold separation. For all monster fans, this exquisite poster ranks as a must have, especially in this remarkable condition with its fresh, saturated colors. Very Fine/Near Mint.
