    Description

    The Body Snatcher (RKO, 1945) One Sheet (27" X 41"). This Robert Louis Stevenson tale was inspired by the true story of the gruesome grave-robbers Burke and Hare. Legendary horror producer Val Lewton brought in director Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood Still) to adapt Stevenson's story for the screen. He then cast the two greatest horror stars of the cinema, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, to add a chilling atmosphere to the production. There is fold line wear with a touch of paper loss at the crossfolds, minor paper loss on the borders, and multiple corner pinholes. The poster has been professionally restored, rendering these defects hard to detect. The one sheet for the film is one of the best and scarcest from the classic horror era. Very Fine- on Linen.

    Please see full-color, enlargeable images above for more details.
