Our expert's notes

One-Sheet (27" x 41") ; Blue Ratings Box Style
Very Fine- on Linen; Artist Bob Gleason
Compass International , 1978

While the sharp artwork and horror-changing trajectory are more than enough to warrant owning this iconic movie poster for Halloween, this is actually the more desired "blue ratings box" style preserved on linen and as such makes this cinematic collectible all the more spectacular.

The one-sheet was linen-backed, and minor color touchup was done to the fold lines, including two extra horizontal folds under the lower horizontal fold lines. The word "Technicolor" has been blacked out, as is somewhat familiar on many of the posters, as the film was not made with Technicolor, but Metrocolor.

John Carpenter's visceral horror film not only started a hugely successful franchise, it also massively popularised and evolved the slasher genre. Few cinematic stalker-killers have the same impact and endurance as the white-masked Michael Myers.

Estimate: $600 - 1,200
