POSTERS THAT SCREAM OUT FOR COLOR!

[Ari]

Daybills are often guilty of this I am afraid...

Ted.. something closer... still on the hunt.. but it's in color!!

Haven't seen that one before, Jeff.  Pretty neat. Looks like a WC of some sort.
I don't think they made a color version of the Frazetta original. I have two copies, one from the theater I saw it at and another I recently pinched on Ebay. 
The color Frazetta 'rough' you posted doesn't seem to have made it into any sort of paper distribution.
It's a shame.

Ted, i havent found anything in color either. The color rough would have made a great poster, no doubt!

The 1949 reissue for BEYOND THE RIO GRANDE

The 1950 re-release (and re-edit) of INSIDE THE UNDERWORLD (first released in 1944, titled, STORM OVER LISBON)

I'm not sure re-releases should count here.  If so, how about MGM from the 1962/63 period where they re-released nearly their entire catalog with black and white images laid on various bright color backgrounds?  These things keep popping up all the time, and even though I collect these films, I refuse to buy anything else from this period.

MPE sold this military Black Lagoon one sheet for $250 and, as noted in the auction, it would be worth much, much more if in color:

I much prefer the artwork and rendering of the Creature on the military, B/W version to that on the full color OS, as iconic as that poster is. The red lipstick look never did much for me, either.

Someone got a bargain with that Black and White one, wish I'd know....

[Ari]

yeah someone should have posted MID auction, then you and I would have had a chance to try and win huh?

But really I like it also, and often B/W and red posters in person actually are surprisingly nice.

Thinking of THE TERROR advance Vs the full color regular, the B/W&R is much more striking in person side by side.

I would love to see these two in color

CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF (1961)




WHITE FANG (1973)

[erik1925]

I think this would look pretty amazing in color, when looking at some of the angular graphics on the upper half of the poster.

THE STEEL CAGE (1954)

[brude]

Hey, Jeff.
Can't find a larger pic at the moment, but this has always been a color poster.
I believe your B&W version is a Military release.

[erik1925]

Thanks, Ted.

Nosferatu (1922)

While neither of these are posters per se, had either of these rendered images been printed in color and then used as posters for the film, these would have been 2 truly outstanding stone lithos, IMO:

Hmmm....
