Movie information:
Creepshow 2 is a 1987 American comedy horror anthology film directed by Michael Gornick, [2] and the sequel to Creepshow. Gornick was previously the cinematographer of the first film, and the screenplay was written by Romero who was director of the original film. It was once again based up...on stories by Stephen King, and features three more horror segments consisting of "Old Chief Wood'nhead", "The Raft" and "The Hitchhiker".
Unlike the first film, Creepshow 2 only contains three stories instead of five. Originally, two additional stories, Pinfall and Cat from Hell were set to appear in the film, but were scrapped due to budgetary reasons; however, the latter has been filmed for Tales from the Darkside: The Movie. The film was Dorothy Lamour's final film before her death in 1996.
Background - I worked in the UK video distribution industry from 1982 to 1994. Each week I received a delivery of video sleeves for the future new releases and also video posters and other point-of-sale material. Around 1985 I started collecting the posters and other interesting promotional items. A few copies of each went straight from the large flat cardboard shipping packaging in which they were received from the distribution warehouse in London, to large plastic stacking crates I bought for the purpose.
The most common poster sizes were 17" x 24" and 20" x 30". These were stored flat and the larger ones were loosely folded as required to fit into the crates. Some posters came pre-folded from the printers.
The common sizes:
24" x 17" (60cm x 42cm)27" x 18" (68cm x 45cm) e.g. Warner28" x 20" (70cm x 50cm)31" x 20" (80cm x 50cm)33" x 24" (85cm x 60cm) e.g. RCA40" x 30" (102cm x 76cm) Quad, One-SheetBanner posters, usually around 12" x 60"
The crates have been stored in dry, dark conditions with little disturbance. Therefore most of the items are in very good condition considering their age. This is commonly known as "A1" or "Near-mint". The posters have never been displayed, therefore I am listing as "NEW" rather than used. They have been handled with care a few times during their journey through time and space to the present day, and any defects collected along the way will be mentioned in the listing.
All are original posters that came direct from the UK film distributors.
Posters will be carefully rolled with protective paper and shipped in tubes, sent using a tracked service of Correos, the national postal service of Spain.
