OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for Freddie Francis’ THE SKULL (1965) starring Peter Cushing, Patrick Wymark, Patrick Magee, Nigel Green, Jill Bennett and Michael Gough. A collector of esoterica (Peter Cushing) becomes the owner of a human skull — the remains of the Marques de Sade. The result: murder, sadism and mayhem. This Amicus Films production rivals Hammer Films at the top of its craft. Descendants of the original Marques de Sade sued to have their relative’s name removed from any advertising on this film. The poster is folded and in very fine, near mint condition.

THE CONQUEROR WORM (1968) M21048

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Original American International One Sheet Poster (27×41) for Michael Reeves’ horror film THE CONQUEROR WORM (aka WITCHFINDER GENERAL/1968) starring Vincent Price, Ian Ogilvy, Patrick Wymark and Wilfred Brambell. This was one of a handful of films made by British director Michael Reeve before his untimely death from a drug overdose. Based on this terrifying and powerful film, his career might have been extremely productive if not acclaimed. Here, Vincent Price portrays an evil and calculating “Witchfinder General” riding the English Countryside in search of witches to prosecute and destroy. This tale of sadism, violence, and torture is not for the lighthearted but the quality of the direction and performances lend it a aura of authenticity. Director Reeves asked Vincent Price to tamp down the level of his histrionics resulting in one of the finest performances of the actor’s career. Note: the title THE CONQUEROR WORM was from a poem by Edgar Allen Poe. This was used in the United States to tie the film in with a series of Poe adaptations AIP had successfully promoted throughout the 1960s. The poster is folded and in near mint condition.
