Dear Poster Fans!<\/p>\n

We have compiled the third and most challenging category in our list of the greatest movie posters of all-time.\u00a0 Authentic vintage horror movie posters are some of the most highly sought after by collectors many selling for record prices at auction (we’ve listed some record breaking sales figures in this list).\u00a0 As is our custom, we judge posters from all over the world and even compared initial and re-release posters as well as alternative styles to come up with this list of the 50 greatest horror movie posters of all-time.\u00a0 There were so many great posters with some of the greatest artwork ever designed that we expanded our list.\u00a0 As usual there were a lot of spirited debates, arguments and jockeying to get everyone favorites on the list.\u00a0 We hope you enjoy the list and please let us know if you think we missed any poster that should have been added to the list.\u00a0 We know you’ll discover some great art as you countdown the top 50 greatest horror movie posters of all-time. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
