Our expert's notes

One-Sheet (27" x 41")
Very Fine- on Linen; Artist Drew Struzan
Universal, 1982

Taking the simplistic art approach to John Carpenter's very complex snowy sci-fi film classic The Thing, Drew Struzan once again created a poster image that has become instantly recognizable. Furthering the narrative that "the thing" can be anyone or anybody, Struzan mirrored Carpenter's particular genius, namely keep them guessing.

One pinhole in each corner and some color touchups to the fold lines. The color touchup must be more accurate, so it's still slightly noticeable. The poster also had some "rubbing" on the surface, so there are some light spots in the black borders and the white of the title and borders.

Master of horror John Carpenter's finest hour, splicing a frosty atmosphere of paranoiac dread with spectacularly gory creature effects (courtesy of Rob Bottin) as a group of researchers in Antarctica must contend with a parasitic alien life-form that's infiltrated their base.

Estimate: $500 - 1,000
