They are being sold by Ewbank’s auctioneers, in Woking, Surrey on Friday (6 Oct).
Alastair McCrea, partner and head of department, said: “The great thing about film posters – and especially horror film posters – is that they almost always have very striking designs.
“Remember, in many cases the first time the public heard about the movies was when they saw the posters pasted up outside cinemas or on advertising hoardings, so to pull the punters in they had to be extremely enticing indeed.
“Now, as artworks, they provide retro chic and a lot of great artwork for your wall for the price paid.”
