Description

Tarantula (Universal International, 1955). Six Sheet (81" X 81").
Science fiction master Jack Arnold's first foray into "oversized arthropod" territory (he would later launch a memorably menacing spider at The Incredible Shrinking Man) has a nicely arid atmosphere and terrific special effects. The first-rate cast includes John Agar, Leo G. Carroll, and Mara Corday. The eye-popping Reynold Brown artwork on this six sheet will stir the arachnophobia in just about anyone! The poster had pinholes in the top corners, fold wear and crossfold separation with some very minor chipping all of which has been addressed with professional restoration. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
