Original American International Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Bob Kelljan horror film, SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM (1973) starring William Marshall, Don Mitchell, Pam Grier, and Michael Conrad. This was the second film in the “Blacula” series about Manuwalde (Marshall), who was a prince who sought to overcome the slave trade but becomes the vampire Blacula at night. This time the prince met up with a voodoo princess played by Grier. The film has some of the scariest as well as funniest scenes in horror film history with lots of early 70s campiness.

Heffron science fiction thriller, FUTUREWORLD (1976) starring Peter Fonda, Blythe Danner, Arthur Hill, and Yul Brynner. This sequel to WESTWORLD (1973) is set a number of years in the future. The story concerns tow reporters, Chuck Browning (Fonda) and Tracy Ballard (Danner) who are covering the re-opening of Delos, the “virtual reality” amusement park that went haywire in the original film. This was the first live-action film to use computer-generated 3D imagery.

Original American International Pictures Three Sheet Poster (41×81) for the William Asher musical comedy, HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI (1965) starring Annette Funicello, Dwayne Hickman, Brian Donlevy, Harvey Lembeck, and Frankie Avalon. This was the last AIP “beach” musical to feature Funicello and Avalon. Alas, the surfing fad had crested and was now being replaced by a renewed interest in the motorcycle subculture. Funicello, who was pregnant at the time of the filming, looks too old to be hanging out at the beach. Avalon was also tired of playing an over-aged teenager and wanted to do something new in his career. So, AIP brought in Dwayne Hickman to be Annette’s new love interest, but the two just didn’t have the chemistry that Annette and Frankie had in the earlier films. After this film, Annette retired to raise a family, and Frankie attempted to play more serious roles. This original three sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

Original American International Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Joseph Manduke sport drama, CORNBREAD, EARL AND ME (1975) starring Moses Gunn, Rosalind Cash, Jamaal Wilkes, Laurence Fishburne, and Tierre Turner. This is the sad story of Nathaniel “Cornbread” Hamilton—a college-bound basketball star and hero to youngsters Wilford (Fisburne) and Earl (Turner)—who is shot to death by police who mistake him for an armed rapist. Thirteen-year-old Fishburne delivers a believable and poignant portrayal of the kid witness to this debacle who must stand up to police corruption and intimidation. This theater-used original one sheet poster is folded and in fine plus condition—with some minor creases and small dings, but with no fold separations.

Next he turns his attentions to Nancy (Dee) who winds up staying at his house for the weekend and wishing she hadn’t.

Original American International Pictures One Sheet Poster (1958) for the Edward Bernds teenage exploitation crime drama, HIGH SCHOOL HELLCATS (1958) starring Yvonne Fedderson, Brett Halsey, Jana Lund, and Susanne Sidney. This film is certainly one of the classic exploitation movies of the 1950s. Good girl hanging around with the wrong crowd in order to fit it, plus add a little romance and some inevitable violence—it all adds up to the kind of drive-in movie you would take your date to in order to make out. Though unintentional, the film is hilarious in its depiction of juvenile delinquents, who is this case are a tough girl’s gang drenched in lesbian innuendo. This original one sheet poster is in very good condition. This poster is known to have color fading problems over time, and this example shows some of that fading.

Original American International Pictures Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the Gordon Hessler horror classic, THE OBLONG BOX (1969) starring Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Alister Williamson. This was the first on-screen teaming of horror icons Price and Lee. The screenplay (based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe) is about a man (Williamson) who is kept locked in his room by his brother (Price). He has been horribly disfigured during an African voodoo ceremony, and , as a result, has gone completely mad. After faking his death, he seeks revenge on those he feels are responsible for his condition. The film was besieged by a number of production problems. Screenwriter Lawrence Huntington died shortly after completing the script. Also, Gordon Hessler replaced the original director Michael Reeves because of his dependence on drugs and suicidal tendencies. Reeves actually did commit suicide in February of 1969 during the pre-production of the film. This half sheet is folded and in fine condition; fold lines are apparent as in the photograph.

Original American International One Sheet Poster (27×41) for Roger Corman’s crime drama, I, MOBSTER (1958) starring Steve Cochran, Lita Milan, Robert Strauss, Lili St. Cyr and Yvette Vickers. Director Roger Corman, normally known for his science fiction, horror and exploitation film for American International Pictures, takes on a more serious tone with this jazzy genre flick starring the always-interesting Steve Cochran and a supporting cast including ecdysiant Lili St. Cyr. This is the tale of a young hood who rises from the streets to mob boss. He ultimately becomes the probe of a Senate Committee on criminal activities bringing about his not-unexpected downfall. The one sheet is folded and in very fine to near mint condition.

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.

With vivid colors, this original three sheet poster was never assembled and is in near mint condition with only a Quebec censor stamp.
