    Description

    This is the Original (1sh) 1957 movie poster
    CURSE OF THE DEMON.
    It was used by
    Columbia
    to
    promote this movie when it
    was released in 1957.
    It is not a reprint nor a reproduction.
    The movie stars
    Dana Andrews, Peggy Cummins, Niall MacGinnis
    , Athene Seyler, Liam Redmond, and Peter Elliot.
    This movie was directed by Jacques Tourneur.
    This restored movie poster is Rolled and measures 41.25" x 78.50", normally called a Three Sheet.
    This poster is also linen backed.
    With linen backing the overall poster plus linen measures 42.75" x 80".   Prior to restoration, the poster was Folded. Most original movie posters pre 1985 are Folded.  This is not considered a flaw or a defect.
    This original movie poster is now graded C8.5, Very Fine to Near Mint.
    Original movie posters are graded as follows from the top down: C10 (Mint), C9 (Near Mint), C8 (Very Fine), C7 (Fine/Very Fine), C6 (Fine or Very Good), C5 (Good to Very Good), etc.  It is difficult to find any pre-1985 original movie posters graded C10 (Mint).  Original movie posters - by generally recognized standards - cannot, or should not, receive a grade higher than C8.5 after restoration.
    Prior to restoration this poster was graded C6.5 Fine Plus.
    The restoration corrected Fold wear and Fold separation, minor chips and tears along the borders,  and slight edge wear along the borders.  The borders have been airbrushed.  This original movie poster now displays beautifully.
    According to Wikipedia, this movie was released in 1957 in the United Kingdom under the original movie Title
    NIGHT OF THE DEMON.
    It was later retitled and released in the United States in June 1958 as
    CURSE OF THE DEMON.
    We believe that the original 1957 Three Sheet movie poster of
    CURSE OF THE DEMON
    has excellent investment value.  Most or many of the sci-fi and horror
    original
    movie posters of the 1950s and 1960s always have excellent value and
    investment
    value,
    demand
    coming from fans and
    collectors
    alike.  The 1957
    CURSE OF THE DEMON
    is certainly in that group of excellent value and
    investment
    value.  It's not up there with, say,
    ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN or FORBIDDEN PLANET
    , but
    CURSE OF THE DEMON
    is one great
    original
    movie poster, and movie.
