Val Lewton's cycle of horror thrillers were superbly crafted. Suspenseful and atmospheric, they are rightly placed as some of the best in the genre. One of these films, all though it was a critical and commercial success, THE LEOPARD MAN (RKO, 1943), directed by Jacques Tourneur, doesn't get as much coverage as some of his other more popular films such as the two CAT PEOPLE movies (1942, 1944) and I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (1943). This was remedied in a detailed retrospective by Scott Preston in the April, 2007 issue of CINEACTION.

I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE POSTER
"I Walked with a Zombie (RKO, 1943). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Offered here is a fantastic RKO original 1943 one sheet from the classic horror film starring James Ellison, Frances Dee, and Tom Conway, produced by Val Lewton. The striking artwork delivers a bone chilling effect for an equally frightening film. The poster has pinholes in the corners, a paper splice in the left border, a blemish in the left border, and a scratch in the top left. Older restoration has addressed some of these issues. Fine/Very Fine on Linen. Estimate: $6,000 - $10,000"
