"The Night He Came Home!". A commercial poster of the iconic Bob Gleason US One-Sheet artwork for the film that is considered the first "slasher" film, Halloween (1978). The budget was a meagre $300,000, with John Carpenter only receiving $10,000 to direct, edit and score. Despite this, the film went on to take almost $50 million at the box office. This particular poster has been autographed in silver-coloured ink by John Carpenter, who also inscribed "Happy Halloween".
