  The Omen

  £145.00

  “Mysterious deaths surround an American ambassador. Could the child that he is raising actually be the Antichrist? The Devil’s own son?”

  Featuring a country uniques design, this combination of photographic images and artwork (Tom Jung) for Richard Donner’s 1976 horror classic “The Omen” is a stunning example of horror art. The film is famous for its grisly deaths, and many of those are highlighted here – Father Brennan (Patrick Troughton) speared through in the churchyard and the journalist Jennings (David Warner) decapitated by a sheet of plate glass. If you didn’t want to know too much about the plot then you would have been well advised to avoid this particular poster in 1976. This originally folded (as issued) Japanese B2 presents very well. A personal favourite and an impressive item of original cinematic movie memorabilia from one of the defining horror movie’s of the genre.

  Trivia: Harvey Stephens, as Damien, was largely chosen for this role from the way he attacked Richard Donner during auditions. Donner asked all the little boys to “come at him” as if they were attacking Katherine Thorn during the church wedding scene. Stephens screamed and clawed at Donner’s face, and kicked him in the groin during his act. Donner whipped the kid off him, ordered the kid’s blond hair dyed black and cast him as Damien.
