Description

It Came from Beneath the Sea (Columbia, 1955). Silk-Screen Poster (40" X 60").
The large format, silk-screen poster presented here was inspired by a fun 1950s flick about an octopus grotesquely altered by radiation from a hydrogen bomb. The giant beast (with only six tentacles) sets out to destroy San Francisco. Charles H. Schneer produced the film while special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen used his pioneering stop motion animation technique to lend credibility to the creature's terror. The pair would team up for several more successful projects including Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and Clash of the Titans. This seldom seen 40" X 60" has edge wear, creasing, and scattered pinholes. Rolled, Fine/Very Fine.
