Poll: Most Expensive Horror Movie Posters Ever Sold on Auction

Today, reproductions of movie posters are readily available for consumers to purchase. However, posters from the first few decades of cinema were produced in limited quantities for promotional use only and disposed of after the theatrical engagement ended. As a result of posters not being kept or collected, very few of these early movie posters still exist today. Among all vintage movie posters, those in the horror genre have consistently sold for the largest amounts at auction due to both their scarcity and desirability. As of 2023, according to New Bond Street Pawnbrokers, these are the ​top 10 most expensive horror movie posters ever sold at auction. Answer recaps are sourced from ​NBST.

From among these most expensive vintage horror posters that sold at auction, which one do you think is really worth its winning bid?
