Night of the Living Dead 1990 size
« on: December 13, 2010, 11:25:09 PM »
I have a rolled version of this poster that is single-sided and 27 x 40, but here's listings for each size:

27 x 41:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Night-Living-Dead-orig-movie-poster-1SH-Romero-/200554439254?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb1f9e256

27 x 40: (The place I got mine...sigh)
http://cgi.ebay.com/90-NIGHT-LIVING-DEAD-Original-1-Sheet-ROMERO-/360324611732?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e5053e94

So I have two questions. 1) What is the correct size of the original and 2) Is there a double-sided version?

Thanks.

Dont know, the 1st seller, or the 2nd for that matter might not have measured them.
I dont believe theres a double sided.

The second seller is accurate, that's where I got mine from before being blocked after complaining about the condition of her posters.

Hey, Chop-Top....I was going to dig mine out and measure it, believing it to be 27x40, not 27x41 and then... I came across this one for sale at Bruce's emovieposter.com auction tonight.  Bruce says it is 27x40.  He always measures his posters and he wouldn't say it if it wasn't so.

I believe that by 1990, all US one-sheets were 27x40.
Hope this helps.

Well, Dave claims that there was a first printing of the Pulp Fiction regular style in 27"x41", but I've never come across one.... Has anyone else?

The dictionary style is 41" so it wouldn't surprise me.

So that means there should be a double-sided version as well correct?

No, I don't think there ever was a double-sided version of this title. 
I have never seen one.
And I believe that the UK quad (which has a different piece of art by Corben, who also did the art for the one-sheet in question) is also only available as a single-sided poster.

I have only ever seen a single sided version of the quad, it was not a well received film over here. I don't think they would have bothered doing a double sided.
It's more than a Hobby...

Thanks for the kind words about us always measuring!

And we put "single-sided" on all "newer" single-sided posters (whether or not there was a double-sided version) because if we don't, we get lots of e-mails asking which it is.
