I have been offered framed posters many times over the years and always ask to see the poster out of the frame before considering the purchase. The owners of the posters are nearly always shocked a… -
Fantastic posters!

(Quote) I dont know how much it sold for but there was quite a large selection of original posters in that auction.

(Quote) The poster was sold in the Pickles Auction Sept 1983 as part of the Michael Pate collection.

I much prefer the daybill but it is a pretty awful film so they needed something dramatic to promote it

(Quote) Really weird the way the title is presented. It looks like Horror Snape on Island!

Here is another one ...

Here is one with just the paper snipe and no added text -
(Quote) I have also had few of the NZ version but I have seen a mix of the painted GY censor details and the paper snipe. I guess the one with the paper snipe is more desirable because it is fairly easy to remove.
