One of the rarest and most desirable UK Quads from the genre. Hammer Productions' "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1959). A British gothic horror mystery film set on the Cornish moors directed by Terence Fisher and based on the Sherlock Holmes novel of the same title by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It stars Hammer regulars Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes and Sir Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville. This superb country of origin UK Quad is from the first re-release in the early 1960s and is almost identical to the 1959 poster, just lacking the Printer's details. It features some fantastic horror artwork of the titular hound's snarling head and blood-soaked fangs. With a dark background and imagery that's largely grey-toned, the bright red title design is particularly emphasised. Presented in original, unrestored condition this displays and presents to excellent effect.
