This is an original Universal Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Jack Arnold sci-fi/horror classic, TARANTULA (1955) starring John Agar, Mara Corday, and Leo G. Carroll. This is the tale of a tarantula, which is injected with a special nutrient formula and then escapes from the scientist’s laboratory. It then grows into a 100-foot monster that attacks cattle as well as humans. It was one of the most popular of the “insect-gone-rampant” films of the 1950′s. There is even a small supporting role for the young Clint Eastwood as a jet squadron leader assigned to drop napalm on the spider to burn it to death. This original scene lobby card featuring Leo G. Carroll is pristine and in near mint condition.

This is an original Universal International Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Jack Arnold sci-fi horror classic, CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954), starring Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, and Ben Chapman as the humanoid amphibious fish creature dubbed “Gill-Man.” This popular film with its eerie music and underwater photography captured the interest of sci-fi audiences and in the process practically saved Universal from bankruptcy in the 1950′s. With skillful direction by Jack Arnold and wonderful music – some of it by Henry Mancini – this film turned into an immediate cult classic still being enjoyed even today. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine plus condition. One of the great science fiction film posters in super condition. Very desired.
