British Quad (40" x 30")
Very Fine- Folded; Artwork by Ted Baldwin
VIPCO, 1976

Released in the UK as "Death Trap," this poster is folded (but will ship rolled) and displays light border wear with sporadic small creases and a few tiny edge nicks with sporadic crimping.

"Eaten Alive," also known by several alternate titles including "Death Trap," "Horror Hotel," and "Starlight Slaughter," is a horror film directed by Tobe Hooper. In the movie, Neville Brand plays a deranged hotel owner in a Southern bayou who feeds those who anger him to a massive crocodile living in a nearby swamp. Although the film received a poor reception upon its initial release, it has since gained a cult following. Together with "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" (1974), "Eaten Alive" played a significant role in advancing Tobe Hooper's career, leading to his opportunity to direct his first major studio film, "The Funhouse," in 1981.

Estimate: $300 - 600
