  Curse of Frankenstein

  £195.00

  “PLEASE TRY NOT TO FAINT. Not recommended for people of nervous disposition.”

  One of the best re-release posters you will see for a Hammer presentation for one of the most important films, Hammer made. Offered here is a beautiful British quad for the restored 4K 2025 re-release for “The Curse of Frankenstein”. Artist Greg Staples has excelled, himself and (in my opinion) produced the best artwork of his distinguished career – it really is exceptional with the photograph not doing it justice. A film poster with outstanding detailed artwork and use of colour; the green used on the title is particularly lurid, with incredible realistic likenesses of Lee, Cushing and the strong supporting cast. Released by Hammer for a very limited cinematic run that coincided with a newly remastered Blu Ray, this UK quad is from the cinema release and not one of the 200 limited release examples offered on Hammer’s website. It presents to excellent effect and is a must have Hammer Horror collectable.

  Trivia: Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing‘s friendship was sparked when Lee stormed into Cushing’s dressing room, complaining that “I’ve got no lines!” Cushing kindly responded, “You’re lucky. I’ve read the script.”

  First Men In The Moon

  £275.00

  “H.G. Wells’ Astounding Adventure in Dynamation!”

  Nautilus Art Prints wanted to pay tribute to H. G. Wells, so, we asked the talented French duo Stan & Vince to create a poster for a H. G. Wells title of their choice and they came up with “The First Men in the Moon”. Who better than Science Fiction comic book artists to tackle a science fiction novel and much loved Ray Harryhausen movie. Their rendition is truly beautiful and their sense of detail, composition, texture and use of colour is just wonderful. Visually influenced by the 1964 film adaptation in their version, the men use spacesuits, which wasn’t the case in Wells’ original novel. Signed and hand-numbered (219/300) by the artists this is an amazing nine ink screenprint by l’Atelier Vertical, Brussels, Belgium that presents to superb effect and represents an outstanding modern art interpretation of a science fiction classic.

  Trivia: It was Nigel Kneale’s idea to frame the Wells story within a modern-day flashback following a moon landing in the 1960s. (The actual moon landing had not happened when the film was made; it occurred in 1969). Ray Harryhausen credited Kneale’s idea with giving the film an extra kick which everyone felt it needed to hook a modern audience.

  ZULU

  £325.00

  “In the hundred years since the Victoria Cross was created for valour and extreme courage beyond that normally expected of a British soldier in face of the enemy, only one thousand three hundred and forty four have been awarded. Eleven of these were won by the defenders of the mission station at Rorkes Drift, Natal January 22nd to the 23rd 1879.”

  The heroics of the British Army never looked better than featured here on this beautiful 50th Anniversary (2014) country of origin UK quad film poster for Cy Endfield’s “ZULU”. A global box office success that effectively made Michael Caine a worldwide star and further cemented the serious acting credentials of British movie greats Stanley Baker & Jack Hawkins. This ultra rare example features incredible unique artwork only used for this one-night only screening on June 10th 2014 . Rolled (as issued) this presents to excellent effect with heroic graphics and strong bright vivid colours – stunning when viewed in person that represents an extremely scarce and desirable item of original British cinematic memorabilia.

  Trivia: Joseph E. Levine said he would back any project Stanley Baker wanted to do. Baker said there was a project he was planning. Levine asked what it was called, and Baker replied, “Zulu.” Levine said, “‘Zulu’! I like that title. I will back you.”
