CURSE OF THE DEMON

One Sheet (27" x 41")
Fine+ on Linen
Columbia , 1958

This U.S. poster for the very popular British horror fantasy had paper loss with small tears in the borders and along the bottom of the vertical fold which were corrected with professional restoration and this example presents beautifully.

Celebrated as one of the finest horror films of the 1950s, "Curse of the Demon," directed by Jacques Tourneur and adapted from M.R. James' short story "Casting the Runes," stars Dana Andrews as Dr. John Holden. He ventures to Britain to probe into a demonic cult linked to numerous deaths. Tourneur originally chose not to depict the demon, preferring to harness the power of the audience's imagination. However, the producer mandated the inclusion of the demon in the film's opening and closing scenes, unbeknownst to Tourneur. For its U.S. release, the film's duration was reduced from 95 to 82 minutes, and its title was altered to "Curse of the Demon."
