Warner Bros.; 1973; dir: William Friedkin; cast: Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Linda Blair, Jason Miller. Vintage original 27 x 41 in. (68.6 x 104.1 cm.) U.S. one-sheet poster, folded as originally issued, near mint condition, in-person inscription and autograph by Linda Blair ("Sweet Dreams! Linda Blair"). Based upon the best selling novel by William Peter Blatty, THE EXORCIST is one of the most terrifying horror films of all time and made a star of child actress Linda Blair. The artwork features the well-known image of Father Merrin (Max von Sydow), the exorcist, standing under the harsh glare of a street lamp outside the home of a young girl possessed by the Devil. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and ultimately won two (Best Sound and Best Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium), a rarity for a horror film at the time. We acquired the guaranteed original in-person inscription and autograph by Ms. Blair at one of the Hollywood Collectors Shows in Burbank, CA. As featured in Tony Nourmand's "Film Posters of the 70s." This is an important poster from the modern horror genre and a true classic.
