Original Warner Brothers Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Eugene Lourie sci-fi/horror classic, THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (1953) starring Paul Hubschmid and Paula Raymond. Based on a short story by sci-fi icon Ray Bradbury, this is the story of a ferocious dinosaur awakened by an Arctic atomic test which then terrorizes the North Atlantic and ultimately New York City. What set this film apart from the other “moster-on-the-loose” films of the 1950′s is the superior stop-action animation by special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen. This original six sheet poster is linen-backed and in very good condition.

Original MGM Insert Poster (14×36) for the Eugene Lourie sci-fi cult classic, GORGO (1961) starring Bill Travers, William Sylvester, Vincent Winter, and Christopher Rhodes. When a baby sea monster is captured off the Irish coast and put in a London circus, Gorgo (the English “Godzilla) escapes and wreaks havoc on the city. But when Gorgo’s mother comes to reclaim her baby, the excitement and destruction get notched up considerably. Lourie directed other giant monster films and knew how to make the action sequences fast and exciting. The production values were definitely better than the Japanese monster movies. Both of the monsters—mother and son—look reasonably realistic. Solid acting by all the main characters and a good musical score further enhance the film’s effectiveness. The insert poster is folded, somewhat irregularly — but the condition is very fine.
