“Kiss Your Nerves Good-Bye…The Sequel To The Ultimate Experience In Grueling Terror !”
A stunning and much sought after alternative movie poster by Elvisisdead for Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead sequel…“Evil Dead II” (Dead By Dawn). The sequel, made six years later and technically a retcon sequel, was allotted a significantly larger budget than the first and is more of a black comedy than the original. Lead actor Bruce Campbell is put through a continually escalating series of horrific encounters that allow him to show the full extent of his talent for slapstick comedy and it is a demonically possessed Campbell – ‘Evil Ash’, who is featured on this 2015 limited edition variant style art print, hand-numbered #99/100. A great looking piece of horror art that represents a fine example of not only horror film movie memorabilia, but also when the subject matter is so powerful just how effective an alternative movie poster can be.
Trivia: A glove belonging to the A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) Freddy Krueger character can be seen hanging above the door of the tool shed when Ash carves his girlfriends head with a chainsaw and when he’s looking for the pages in the later cellar scenes. This was in response to the use of The Evil Dead (1981) on a television screen in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

Incredibly rare and much sought 2015 alternative movie poster for Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead sequel…“Evil Dead II” (Dead By Dawn). What makes this super special is that has been reimagined by the same artist responsible for the original cinema poster from from 1987 – Graham Humphreys. Printed with the approval of Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert it’s a stunning piece of horror artwork, as a much more experienced, Graham Humphreys is given the chance to go back and recreate his original design from twenty-eight years earlier. The composition and subject matter are perfectly suited to this landscape format and the colours just amazing as they pop from the paper. This strictly limited Artist Proof edition is hand-numbered AP 5/30 and signed by the Humphreys. Immediately selling out when launched, this originally rolled, flat-unfolded (as issued) example displays to exceptional effect and represents a truly outstanding and extremely desirable item of collectable horror movie memorabilia with a ‘modern’ twist.

Trivia: The large demonic head Ash battles in the climax of the film, which the crew nicknamed the “rotten applehead”, was too large and cumbersome for the crew to carry back to California, so it was left in North Carolina and soon disappeared. Its whereabouts were unknown for a number of years until it was found in a Halloween haunted house attraction just outside the original shooting location of Wadesboro, North Carolina.
