George A. Romero's 1978 blood-splattered sequel Zombies: Dawn of the Dead. Featuring country unique (British) Tom Chantrell horror artwork, this original UK Quad movie poster presents to very good effect being originally rolled (as issued). The dark colour palette is deep and unfaded. This is a wonderful looking poster and is widely regarded as one of the best zombie posters. Scarce these X-certificate 'horror' releases from the 70s were printed in strictly limited numbers with very little money made available for the promotional campaign.

40" x 30" (102 x 76 cm)

Additional Information: Broomhead Litho Ltd. England

Condition: Good to Very Good

Unrestored, rolled (as issued). Handling and age wear which includes clear tape residue to corners over enlarged pinholes (scattered tape to reverse - not evident on front). Scattered nicks and creasing to border and a soft central vertical crease NOT a fold line with other areas of light surface crinkling evident. Overall this still displays to a very good effect with strong unfaded dark colour tones.
