THE EXORCIST

One-Sheet & Special Poster (27" x 41" & 18.5" x 24.5")
Very Fine+ Folded; Artist Bill Gold
Warner Bros., 1974

Featuring the now infamous image of Max von Sydow's Father Merrin arriving at the MacNeil home under the ominous street lamp in shadow, Bill Gold's poster for William Friedkin's The Exorcist is a terrific example of conveying much with so little. Offered here is the original one-sheet for the film plus the striking black and white special promo poster that is very seldom seen.

Both posters have very minor typical fold wear, with the one-sheet having some light crimping. Otherwise, both posters are in terrific condition.

William Friedkin's disturbing story of demonic possession, "The Exorcist," holds the distinction of being the first horror film to ever receive an Oscar nomination. It is regarded as one of the greatest horror films of all time. Its reputation has been further solidified by reports of preview audience members running out of the theater in terror, and viewers suffering from nausea.
