This is the Original (1sh) movie poster THE DEAD ONE.  It was used by AMardi Gras Productions, Inc. to promote this movie when it was released in 1960.  It is not a reprint nor a reproduction.  The movie stars Linda Ormond, John MacKay, Clyde Kelley, Darlene Myrick, Monica Davis, Lacey Kelly, and Paula Maurice.  It was directed by Barry Mahon.

This unrestored movie poster is Rolled and measures 30" x 40". 

This original movie poster is graded C7 Fine/Very Fine.  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), C4 (Good), etc.   This original poster is immediately ready to be framed and displayed.   The main flaw - the smudges - are somewhat visible but due to the red/orange coloring of the poster they are also somewhat unobtrusive (not readily seen).  The above average size and overall voodoo type feel give this poster an unmistakable appearance, despite the movie possibly not being that well known.

If you have any questions, please let me know.  I have been collecting original movie posters for over 30 years, and I understand that buyers, like myself,  expect representations of items for sale that are accurate, complete, and truthful.   They are. And the photos are of the actual item you will be buying.  We do  not use "stock" photos.  If you are not 100% satisfied when you receive this original movie poster, we guarantee a full refund.  No problem. 

Thanks for taking a look.  I have a number of other original movie posters listed and generally we are listing new items each week.
