  A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 4 – The Dream Master

  £295.00

  “Terror Beyond Your Wildest Dreams.”

  Graham Humphreys has once again produced a stunning piece of artwork for the fourth film in the iconic horror series “A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 4 – The Dream Master”. The now instantly recognisable Freddy Krueger once again appears in silhouette (as the original British marketing campaign by Graham) and is a testament to how familiar the fanbase were with his character – the clawed glove, fedora and pose are now his trademark. His defining outline is offset against an amazingly colourful background with the ominous blood red tagline – Greetings From Hell. Setting a high bench mark for modern horror artwork Humphreys’ imagery was only used for the UK quad design and is one of the most sought after film posters of the 80’s and the horror genre. Graham Humpreys has been dubbed England’s greatest living horror artist and it’s not hard to see why when you see this beautiful film poster from first year of release 1988. Totally original and unrestored, this rolled (as issued) example is presented in excellent condition with only minimal handling wear with, unusually for a horror poster some incredibly bright colours. Extremely scarce and a must have for the serious collector it represents a fantastic item of horror movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: The name of the diner where Alice works is called the “Crave Inn”, a reference to franchise creator Wes Craven.

  Don’t Look Now

  £125.00

  “The Most Harrowing Experience That You May Ever Endure“

  Some truly striking horror imagery for Nicolas Roeg’s, psychological thriller “Don’t Look Now” makes this Japanese B2 film poster from 1973 one of my personal favourite horror posters. The thought provoking imagery (unique to this Japanese release) perfectly suits the mood and feel of the film as a china doll dressed in red represents the dead child of the story. In excellent condition with only minimal handling wear this fantastic unfolded (as issued) example presents very well. A lovely example of Japanese horror cinematic memorabilia for a true classic of the genre.

  Trivia: Nicolas Roeg wanted Julie Christie to attend a séance prior to filming. Leslie Flint, a direct voice medium based in Notting Hill, invited them to attend a session which he was holding for some American parapsychologists, who were coming over to observe him. Roeg and Christie went along and sat in a circle in the pitch dark and joined hands. Flint instructed his guests to “uncross” their legs, which Roeg subsequently incorporated into the film..

  Interview with the Vampire

  £225.00

  “1791 was the year it happened. I was 24, younger than you are now. But times were different then, I was a man at that age: the master of a large plantation just south of New Orleans. I had lost my wife in childbirth, and she and the infant had been buried less than half a year. I would have been happy to join them. I couldn’t bear the pain of their loss. I longed to be released from it. I wanted to lose it all… my wealth, my estate, my sanity. Most of all, I longed for death. I know that now. I invited it. A release from the pain of living. My invitation was open to anyone. To the whore at my side. To the pimp that followed. But it was a vampire that accepted it.”

  A superb and eye-catching alternative movie poster by Enzo Sciotti for the cult dark horror adaptation of the best selling Anne Rice novel “Interview with the Vampire”. Each vampire Lestat (Cruise), Louis (Pitt), Armand (Banderas) and the young Claudia (Kirsten Dunst) is beautifully portrayed by Sciotti on this 2020 Hand-Numbered (# 16/45) Private Commission Screen Print. Printed using eighteen (18) coloured inks onto Neenah Stardream Eris Metallic Paper, the colours truly pop from the paper (the photo doesn’t do this justice) it almost appears to be painted. Presented in rolled (as issued) condition it represents an outstanding, piece of cinematic memorabilia and artwork.

  Trivia: Upon learning that Tom Cruise had been cast as Lestat, Rice was livid and stated Cruise could not carry the part, calling the casting “so bizarre; it’s almost impossible to imagine how it’s going to work”. Rice recused herself from the production and did not view the film until a producer sent her a VHS copy. Rice was so impressed by Cruise’s performance that she wrote him a letter of apology and recorded a two-minute video endorsing the film that was included as a pre-feature on mid-1990s VHS releases.

  James Bond: A View To A Kill

  £195.00

  “Has James Bond finally met his match?“

  Roger Moore’s final outing as 007 sees Bond artistic maestro Daniel Goozee produce a truly stunning series of posters for John Glen’s “A View To A Kill”. And it is his advance teaser design featuring Roger Moore as 007 and Grace Jones as Zorin’s henchwoman May Day that has been adapted for this Japanese video release B1 poster – the likenesses of both Moore and Jones are incredible. Very rare in this larger Japanese format with a design unique to Japan as key scenes have been added the left and right borders. These don’t turn up very often especially in this excellent unrestored, originally rolled (as issued) high grade condition. It presents and displays superbly and represents a fine example of a scarce and extremely collectable James Bond vintage movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Maud Adams: As a woman in the crowd at Fisherman’s Wharf. Adams happened to be visiting San Francisco when the film was in production there. Sir Roger Moore got her to appear as an uncredited extra in a crowd scene, making her the only actress to appear in three Bond movies (excluding actresses in recurring roles), after The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) and Octopussy (1983).

  Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi

  £195.00

  “The Empire Falls…”

  The third instalment of George Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy “Return of the Jedi” contains a number of incredible set pieces right from the opening scene in Bobba Fett’s lair, Han’s rescue by Luke, the reveal of a larger more deadly Death Star, the Ewoks and their home planet – the Forest Moon of Endor and of course the return of one of the greatest villains ever created – DARTH VADER. And it’s the Sith Lord who features on this full-length (72 inches high), life size fully licensed commercial poster released as part of the movie’s original marketing campaign in 1983. It truly is spectacular. Presented here in original rolled (as issued) condition this fantastic example has deep unfaded vibrant colour tones and displays to excellent effect. Darth Vader is already firmly established as a fans favourite, and this impressive example represents a fine addition for any collector of movie posters or Star Wars fan memorabilia.

  The Jungle Book

  £125.00

  “Meet Mowgli, the man cub. Baloo thinks he’ll make a darn good bear. Shere Khan thinks he’ll make a darn good meal”

  Walt Disney’s animated take on the “Mowgli Stories” of Rudyard Kipling “The Jungle Book”. Re-released many times after its 1967 premiere but it is the artwork from the posters produced since that are probably the best, and that’s certainly true of this 1993 video poster. Offered here is an original British one-sheet poster from 1993 – this was the first time this Disney classic was made available on a video release and to celebrate a totally new design was created. A magnificent, visual masterpiece of a poster as all the key characters make the perfect transfer from screen to paper. Beautiful design and artwork, bright bold colours that because of the high gloss finish, absolutely pop from the paper. Stunning animated action imagery featuring Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, King Louie, Shere Khan, Kaa make for an impressive poster on every level. Originally rolled (as issued) this unrestored film poster presents superbly and is a fine example of rare and collectable original Disney memorabilia for a much loved classic. Undoubtedly one the best looking posters produced for a movie that is an integral part of modern pop culture.

  Trivia: The Vultures were originally going to be voiced by The Beatles. The band’s manager, Brian Epstein, approached the Disney studios about having The Beatles appear in the film, and Disney had his animators create the Vultures specifically to be voiced by the band. But when Epstein took the idea to the Beatles, John Lennon vetoed the idea, and told Epstein to tell Disney he should hire Elvis Presley  instead. The look of The Vultures, with their mop-top haircuts and Liverpool voices, are a homage to The Beatles; one bird’s voice and features are clearly based on George Harrison‘s. That’s What Friends Are For was originally to be done as a rock and roll song. When the Beatles departed the project, the song was rewritten as a barbershop quartet, to make it timeless.
