This multi-signed poster from director George A. Romero's groundbreaking horror film is in outstanding condition, having previously been folded as issued. It has been professionally linen-backed and shows only minimal airbrushing along the borders. The poster has a very fresh appearance, which is further enhanced by the 17 authentic signatures, making it a highly desirable item to acquire.
George A. Romero's original zombie movie (although the term "zombie" is never mentioned) follows a small group of people who find themselves trapped in a farmhouse due to a sudden epidemic of the undead. This groundbreaking indie film not only established a new genre but is also significant for featuring a Black actor, Duane Jones, as its hero.
Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
