“Stay on the road…Keep clear of the moors…Beware the moon, lads.”
John Landis’ “An American Werewolf in London” is one of the best werewolf movies ever made, full of dark humour and gory thrills. As most people know, this has one of the best human/werewolf transformation scenes in cinematic history. Unlike modern monster/horror movies of today, this film has no CGI or computer-aided special effects; what you see on the screen is a physical production made piece for which Rick Baker won the Academy Award and that’s perfectly illustrated here on this Australian one-sheet as the said transformation of David (David Naughton) is fully featured. It appears the Australian poster designers weren’t worried about spoilers. Presented in unrestored condition this folded (as issued) example displays to very good effect and represents a fantastic item of original horror movie memorabilia from a classic of the genre with some truly eye-catching imagery. “I vote we go back to the Slaughtered Lamb”
Trivia: Rick Baker claimed to have been disappointed by the amount of time spent shooting the face changing shot for the transformation after having spent months working on the mechanism. John Landis only required one take lasting about seven seconds. Baker felt he had wasted his time until seeing the film with an audience that applauded during that one seven second shot.

“Mr Bond. I’m so glad I caught you. Your office called. They’re sending a helicopter to pick you up. Some sort of emergency…It usually is. Thank you”
After the excesses of the previous movie “Moonraker” this is more of return to a realistic spy thriller in John Glen’s “For Your Eyes Only”. This Australian daybill film poster from first year of release 1981 features the memorable worldwide artwork campaign that incorporates the “legs” aspect of Bill Gold’s design and Brian Bysouth’s beautifully detailed finished all-action artwork. The original movie poster offered here is presented in exceptional unrestored, folded (as issued) condition and is perfectly suited to the thinner portrait style of the daybill. Colours are bright, vibrant and unfaded. Hugely desirable and very collectable, it would be a worthy addition to any collection of James Bond movie memorabilia and is a truly impressive 007 poster.
Trivia: after much debate the infamous “legs” belong to New York model Joyce Bartle.

There is no doubting the influence and impact of Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 masterpiece “Pulp Fiction” and like so many of the Tarantino films the paper from each has become hugely collectable. This Australian daybill offered here is no exception. This popular and most recognisable design by Indika Entertainment Advertising is truly striking and features beautiful Uma Thurman imagery that is only enhanced by the print quality and colour saturation found here. Very cool looking, this is a fantastic original poster from Quentin Tarantino’s most celebrated film to date. Originally rolled (as issued) this totally unrestored example presents and displays to excellent effect and represents a hugely collectible piece of movie memorabilia from a truly iconic movie…“I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband, your boss, told you to take ME out and do WHATEVER I WANTED. Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good.”
Trivia: Uma Thurman originally turned down the role of Mia Wallace. Quentin Tarantino was so desperate to have her as Mia, he ended up reading her the script over the phone, finally convincing her to take on the role

One of the few films that truly deserves to be called a ‘classic’. John Landis’ 1980 action comedy rollercoaster “The Blues Brothers”. Over the years this movie has built up a huge cult following and established itself as the benchmark for which other action comedy films are compared against; it’s not many that come close. Any paper from the original release is extremely scarce and very sought after – making this original, very displayable Australian waybill hugely desirable and features Jake (John Belushi) & Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) Blues in classic pose dancing atop an over turned police patrol car that perfectly suits the film’s mood and vibe. Originally folded (as issued) it displays very well and is a fine example of very rare original and collectable movie memorabilia for the screens best loved anarchic action musical comedy that is “The Blues Brothers”
“…and we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois’s law enforcement community that have chosen to join us here in the Palace Hotel Ballroom at this time…”

“Mysterious deaths surround an American ambassador. Could the child that he is raising actually be the Antichrist? The Devil’s own son?”
With a design by Tom Jung this Australian waybill for Richard Donner’s 1976 horror classic “The Omen” is an impressive example of horror art that also benefits from being signed by the Anti-Christ himself – HARVEY STEPHENS; a beautiful clear signature that includes his character name – DAMIEN where he has cleverly incorporated the number of the Beast 666 into the capital letter D of his name. All written in a silver pen that contrasts incredibly strongly against the black background. The ominous wording and the film’s title are written in the distinctive style synonymous with this now classic horror. It’s such a simple text based design but so, so clever and perfectly suited to the portrait format offered here. From first year of release, 1976 this tri-folded (as issued) example presents to very good effect. A personal favourite and an impressive item of original cinematic movie memorabilia from one of the defining horror movie’s of the genre that carries the mark of the Devil’s son himself.
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.
