PIT AND THE PENDULUM (1961) M10010

Original American International Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41).

This is an original American International Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Roger Corman Gothic horror classic, PIT AND THE PENDULUM (1961)—starring Vincent Price, John Kerr, and Barbara Steele. Artfully adapted from the Edgar Allan Poe story by Richard Matheson, this was the second in Corman’s cycle of Poe stories and is considered by many critics to be his best horror film. Delightfully lurid and lavish, this film incorporates both dazzling color and abhorrent darkness to keep the mood and atmosphere suspenseful and threatening. The real star of the film is the pendulum, which was razor sharp. To increase the pendulum’s sense of deadly menace, Corman took out every other frame during the editing stage to make the blade appear to move twice as fast.
