Our expert's notesFirst year of release British UK Quad for George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" (1968). This dark, atmospheric quad poster has unique imagery not seen in any other country. The simple black and white design and foreboding skull appropriately set the horror tone for the cinema audience. Extremely rare and very few have ever surfaced given the low-budget, low-key nature of the release and we believe this is the first time we have ever offered one for auction. A hugely important and influential horror film, the low-budget, black and white masterpiece set the mold for the multitude of zombie films, TV series' and comics that followed.
30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm)

Unrestored, folded (as issued). Displays to good effect but with some obvious issues. Creases and small nicks to top and bottom edges with an area of paperloss to bottom right corner (5" x 5" - 12.5 x 12.5 cm) which effects a small amount of the credits. Title, tagline and main imagery are unaffected and benefit from poster being originally rolled NOT folded.
