27x41" one-sheet poster for the 1954 re-release of Howard Hawks' 1951 sci-fi/horror film released by RKO Pictures, and directed by Christian Nyby. The film stars Kenneth Tobey, Margaret Sheridan, Robert Cornthwaite and Douglas Spencer. James Arness played The Thing, but he is difficult to recognize in costume and make-up, due to both low lighting and other effects used to obscure his features. Poster does not feature The Thing, just eerie title above screaming crowd. Promotional text at top reads "It Creeps...It Crawls...It Strikes Without Warning!" Folded as issued, poster has .25" to .75" tears at fold crease intersections and .5" chip out of center right margin by fold line. Poster remains bright and bold and if framed, would display VF.
