Has anyone ever seen a US insert poster for Fulci's ZOMBIE? I saw one about 3 years ago on ebay- it uses the same up close and personal shot of the worm-eyed zombie, but the text is green. It's been haunting me ever since. No pic, sorry

There are also a couple of latin american posters for DAWN OF THE DEAD '78 that is similar to the standard US one sheet, only a little rougher. One of them incorporates Tom Chantrell's UK design.

This copy of an Argentinian OS for LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT has recently become available for sale. Would really like to have this on the wall, that is for sure.
The copy Heritage auctioned in March of 2009, sold for $41,825.00 (inc the 19.5% BP). This copy has a much more blue background and is more vibrant compared to the Heritage copy that looks more green and has a duller, more yellowed appearance.

PS.. the current copy is a steal at only $35K!

That is a very poor photo on the Heritage site, looked much better in person.
Both of these copies came from the same source and were very similar in appearance.

Leave it to Benito to have had (has) both copies!

Finally found the nearly-impossible-to-find international English language one sheet for LA Confidential from a dealer in Europe. It is the real deal, not the Sonis version, although ironically the dealer was using a stock image of the Sonis reprint! I'm not thrilled that it's folded but I got it for a very good price and who knows when a rolled one will show up. Now I need to find the absolutely-impossible-to-find Canadian one sheet....

AdamCarterJones · « **Reply #307 on:** June 24, 2011, 03:20:08 PM »

Genuine question:
How much is a "very good price", seeing that it is folded?

And that applies to anyone who knows this answer as I doubt Mel will reply.

Cheers,

I got it very cheap, $60 including shipping from Europe. However, I lost $80 when the last copy I found in Australia arrived destroyed. Also, I'll probably have it linen-backed and the fold-lines touched up, so that's another $200. (I know the LB haters will protest, but this poster should never have been folded in the first place.) So the real cost will be $350, which is absolutely worth it to me, regardless of its resale value, since it is supremely cool and rare.

A legit international OS copy has never been sold at Heritage or Emovie - they've both mistakenly sold Sonis reprints and video posters as "internationals"- so it's hard to say what it's truly worth. But since the same image is readily available on the US video poster, non-English posters, and UK quads, I wouldn't say it's worth huge $$$.

The Canadian OS is a different story. Dan Rickard sold his for $400 several years ago but I bet it would go for far more if it were properly auctioned.

Mel,great score on your purchase..i`m delighted you bagged one..but <== as always..

Couldn`t you have just maybe waited another year to pull a rolled one??
I would be loath to see you offload this one in the future..

Best

I am confused regarding the apparently really hard to get International LA Confidential...this looks very much like the aussie OS.
Is it that you all have something against obtaining some aussie paper...meh!

Ari · « **Reply #311 on:** July 13, 2011, 11:24:50 PM »

probably the MA 15 + rating, OR the apparent scarcity of the international US, or just racist against Aussies (for shame - least Canadians like us).

brude · « **Reply #312 on:** July 13, 2011, 11:31:20 PM »

I can safely say that I prefer Aussie one sheets to American one sheets.
It's just that they're so darn difficult to find...

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #313 on:** July 13, 2011, 11:35:47 PM »

Yes, the MA15 rating language is moderately annoying but the Aussie version is almost as difficult to find as the US international. I checked Aussie Ebay many, many times for it without success.

Phil(www.cinemarts.com) was selling a rolled Aussie OS for US$300 but it has sold. He has a folded copy for US$200.

Well I much prefer the old ratings to the new crap-tastic coloured boxes! Talk about ruining a poster!
As for the Canadians...I say we mount an attack and raid their aussie poster collections...take back what's rightfully ours! ARGH!

I didn't really think the aussie one sheet was that rare, fairly sure I managed to get my hands on a couple in a relatively short period of time, then stopped looking, so maybe these days it's a bit harder. Let me see if I have a spare and any non racists

who don't mind the MA ratings can get a little bit closer to their unicorns...well not really a unicorn, a what...shetland pony?

Just a matter of time before one of the ji-quad-ists shows up in this thread and starts proclaiming how wonderful the quad is

I don't know if you guys have seen the quad artwork, it really is quite wonderful

Now, now Ves you know you are one of the main culprits in supporting the Aussie paper export business.

And I cannot thank you enough of course!

In my experience that's MUCH louder. Oh and they are usually drinking a Tim Hortons'

at the same time!
