Description

Please check my other eBay auctions for rare movie memorabilia (including RARE SPIELBERG movie posters that are signed and horror items like a POLTERGEIST SIGNED MOVIE POSTER BY OLIVER ROBINS signed movie poster one sheet, memorabilia and more)!
I had a 2nd Poltergeist version with a completely different image art that I sold just a few years ago for
00
and to be honest this is the better piece (better image/art and this one has director Tobe Hooper's autograph on it.  Plus the fact that Tobe Hooper wanted to own this piece.
The regular price on this is ,800. At ,800 (That's ,000 off)
(a fantastic value as my original purchase price was ,995 unsigned in the 1980s - the original price is still on the back of the display. I'm thinning my collection out to make room for a couple of new pricey star wars items so my loss is your gain!)
Flash sale at ,300!!

Fantastic rare discovery and a beautiful looking Poltergeist display. Just in time for the 40th anniversary this year of the Steven Spielberg production of Poltergeist (1982) directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Salem's Lot) comes this vintage singled sided movie studio matted display from 1982 that could be a centerpiece in your Poltergeist / Tobe Hooper collection / Steven Spielberg / Heather O'Rourke Collection.
One of the Original Studio Presentation Concept marketing movie poster one sheet art displays for Poltergeist that the Movie Studio matted and
I later had signed by Tobe Hooper (who is now sadly deceased). Photograph of myself with Tobe Hooper NOT INCLUDED (but if the buyer wants a digital copy of the photo I will message it to you upon request after payment is received).
This was used by the studio to consider the art for the marketing on the film including on movie posters during in studio presentations.
It features the rare early original "R" MPAA rating (the film would be released as PG).
Few collectors ever get to see these let alone own one.
I have owned this piece since the 1980s when I purchased it.  Later when I handed Tobe Hooper this piece to sign (see photo from signing) he fell in love with this piece ("Oh that's great!") and said he didn't understand why they didn't use it. He really liked the neighborhood shot and the quotes. In fact, he liked it so much that he wanted to purchase it from me. When I said no thanks after repeated attempts, he handed me his phone # and said if I ever change my mind to call him.
Now you can own the very Poltergeist display piece in your collection that Tobe Hooper wanted but could never own. And you never have to worry about the authenticity of the autograph - see the photo of myself with Tobe Hooper from the signing
As seen in the photos which show the actual measurements with a tape measure,
this measures roughly a little over 18" x 25" fully matted. The actual image area within the matte measures roughly 12 x 19 1/2".
The matte was done by the studio for presentation so it's original to the piece. Item shows some light wear from original production use by the studio including edge wear.  It is made of a very reflective mirror like material that is transparency like / acetate sheet like that has the art/images printed on it - hard to explain so please see photos and you can see how reflective it is.
Signed on the top matte border "To Jeff Tobe Hooper"  (see photo of myself with Tobe Hooper from when I had him sign it).
There are three quotes on the poster (1 from Dr. William G Roll Project Director Psychical Research Foundation, 1 from D. Scott Rogo Research and author of The Poltergeist Experience, and 1 from Steven Spielberg).
Also interesting to note the tag line on the poster is
"The first real ghost story"
This is not merchandise available to the general public but a production used item by the studio for their marketing campaign for the film Poltergeist at the time of release in 1982 - They would have had various images/artwork made up and they would be presented like this at the studio before selecting the final versions that would be used.
This is the last Poltergeist production piece that I have and the ONLY Poltergeist item I ever had signed by the director Tobe Hooper who gave it very enthusiastic design praise.
Don't miss out.
Photos show the actual item you will receive.
I never use stock photos.
