Looks great Mel,have you tidied up the overall red too? or is it just me...? If these start to pop up on the bay i wont tell a soul....  Stew I used the "Remove Color Cast" in Photoshop Elements, which changes the entire color scheme. You identify the areas that should be white or black and the color of the entire image is adjusted. |

Might want to bump up saturation a little Mel... I think the reds looked better in the original believe it or not. Top half fully restored (I'm not showing the whole thing - don't want MovieBads to get it). I wonder if the original was "minty white" - was the paper back then "minty white" or off white?   |

I'm looking through Heritage's past auctions in reverse price order and coming across these really cool rare (and expensive) posters. Here is a six sheet for "World Without End":
Alberto Vargas, Esquire and Playboy illustrator, designed the brief outfits worn by the women of the future in this revision of H.G. Wells's The Time Machine. To capitalize on the renown of Vargas, Allied Artists created a special style B six sheet for the advertising campaign which utilized his famous pin-up art.... For years, no copies of this B style ever turned up, and many collectors assumed that it had never been produced - even though it had been shown in the original pressbook.....jpeg) Godzilla Style B - never seen this style before: .jpg) |

Looking through Heritage's past sales (and eMovie's to a certain extent) is a good way to make yourself cry...

In a similar vein to the fantastic Varga 6-sheet above, I someday hope to pick up one of these one sheets by the very talented George Petty...  |

not entirely sure how that happened - ill blame the cat - but this is how my reply should have read great idea for a topic mel - my wants list is completely out of control but these are this years target quads not a massive fan of horror even when its a comedy but i like the poster. lost out on ebay twice last year - time to increase my bids!  massive fan & my favourite poster for the film. i was offered 1 2 years ago for £80 - rolled - but i thought i could get cheaper   great film & been after for a while - rolled preferably - but without luck  missed out on buying this for just £40 on Aus ebay- rolled & mint - a couple of months ago cos i was dragged into a needless meeting by my boss.  !  the missing - affordable - star wars quad & looks great  ok film but smashing poster - another 1 i thought i could find cheaper & havent!  great film & favourite artwork but wish they didnt have pics of jon & burt in bottom left  the last 2 are top of my list for 2011 - arabesque cos i just love the artwork & fantastic voyage because i loved watching the film as a child & of course the artwork is fantastic   |

Eyes Without A Face - very striking French 1P. The movie is quite disturbing, apparently. It "concerns a troubled physician (Pierre Brasseur) who is desperately trying to repair the ruined countenance of his beloved daughter (the amazing Alida Valli) who was wounded in a car crash. He resorts to kidnapping and murder, grafting the skin of other young women onto his daughters face, but the experiments continually fail." Sold for $191 tonight on Heritage.  |

Godzilla Style B - never seen this style before: Guess that means you don't have a copy of my book (where I first pictured it for US audiences seven years before Heritage auctioned it.  |

Agreed... I actually own that HS. I like the layout better on this HS than on the 1-sheet... more of the screaming face and the monster isn't so cramped.  |

Thought I'd add a few recent posters that have been striking my fancy... don't own any  but I will one day  I think all three are great examples of contemporary poster design, weirdly two are very skull heavy. Awsomeness... love it!  Not sure about the film or whether this was ever printed but think it's a great poster.  A bit simpler but a really strong image.  The hunt continues... |

GREAT film, and both sizes of the French posters are AWSOME, I have the Grande, used to also have the petite. Certainly in my personal top horror posters OF ALL TIME. I often show the Grande to friends who don't "get" why I collect posters, that ALWAYS sways them, its an eye opener. (and the SMELL! - man I love those Frenchies - yes you too T). Ari |

You Ari, are the only one in the whole world I like that eats offal, misses his dead rat carcasses, draws women on walls with skin peeling off of them and keeps a meat cleaver by his bed.

That's funny because the grande of LES YEUX SANS VISAGE is actually what got me into collecting movie posters in the first place. Four years back I was looking for something to hang on the walls of my new flat and by accident stumbled over a picture of this on eBay. I ended up buying both the grande and the petite from a French dealer and then I was hooked. |

I first saw Franju's LES YEUX SANS VISAGE many, many years ago as the American-dubbed HORROR CHAMBER OF DR. FAUSTUS. It totally changed my attitude about foreign films and the nature of horror. I prefer the smaller poster, which features Claude Brasseur as the evil doctor, using chloroform to subdue his next victim. The expression on his face reflects a nonchalance that is quite disturbing. Sam at Empire Posters recently sold one of these that I regrettably missed...  |

Perhaps this forum could use a general "catch-all" thread for discussion of posters that "strike your fancy" for whatever reason - rarity, coolness, weirdness, whatev - and don't really fit in a more specific category. Doesn't matter if you own it or not. Tell us a story about the poster if you know it. Hopefully it will take off. I'll start off with a few: I will get one of these Animal House rare advance photo posters - just a matter of time. Anybody have one?  Is this "Girl On A Motorcycle" quad poster cool or what? It was renamed "Naked Under Leather" in the US but the image is not as striking as the quad:   I know absolutely nothing about The Venetian Affair or Circus of Horrors and I'll probably never watch them. I just know I gotta have these posters sooner or later:   This "My Left Foot" exemplifies the "art" in movie poster art - a poster to show your snobby art friends:  Am I a freak for liking this poster?  What a great collection of classic movie posters |
