  • Bugsy Malone Movie Poster

    Bugsy Malone

    £75.00

    “Okay fellas, this is our moment. Keep a cool head and keep those fingers pumpin’, cause remember, it’s history you’ll be writin”

    A great looking movie poster for the Park Circus (BFI) 30th Anniversary 2006 release of Alan Parker’s 1976 film “Bugsy Malone”. The classic all-singing and dancing gangster movie with an all child cast that is the first and only gangster movie to involve cream filled bullets fired by the legendary “splurge” gun…The artwork from the original 1976 UK quad has been cleverly re-imagined highlighting the two stars; Jodie Foster & Scott Baio whilst retaining a 1930’s theme. Originally rolled (as issued) this excellent unrestored example displays and presents to superb effect and represents a scarce item of collectible memorabilia from one of British cinema’s quirkiest films.

    Trivia: The development of the splurge guns took three months work by special effects boffins at Pinewood Studios. A gunsmith was consulted by fxpert Malcolm King to resolve the very complex ballistic problem of being able to shoot a capsulated custard pie without it first splurging the firer-splurger.

  • Food of the Gods Movie Poster

    Food of the Gods

    £195.00

    “H.G. WELLS predicted the atom bomb, nuclear energy and space travel…But his most frightening prediction was of a ecology gone berserk. WAS HE RIGHT AGAIN?”

    A masterclass in movie poster design by Tom Chantrell. Chantrell has created artwork that harks back to the B-movie horror film posters of the 1950’s. “Food of the Gods” clearly was set in this genre was loosely based on an H.G. Wells’ novel, telling the story of a strange substance that turns creatures into huge, giant man eating monsters. Showing his dedication to his art, Chantrell actually visited a farm in order to take photos of a cockerel to ensure that his illustration was accurate – giant rats were more evident in the film than the cockerel shown on the quad but Chantrell rightly deduced that images of large rats might deter the paying public. Nostalgic 70’s hokum that is complemented by a first rate film poster that’s a great example of horror artwork…including use of bold day-glo orange inks in the title. Originally folded (as issued) this UK quad from 1976 is presented in incredible unrestored condition (most likely unused) and is the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale. In true investment grade condition, this genuinely rare cult classic represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Note: The image of the distressed lady (a la Fay Wray from “King Kong”) was a stock pose that Chantrell frequently used in his poster designs ie “Quatermass & The Pitt” (1967) and “Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed” (1969)

    Trivia: One of the rat costumes would later be reused for “The Star Wars Holiday Special”.

  • Just a Gigolo Movie Poster

    Just a Gigolo

    £275.00

    “He has no skills and can only find menial, low-paying jobs. He decides to become a gigolo to lonely rich women.”

    Supreme example of Tom Chantrell’s stunning artwork; an extremely rare original 1978 UK Quad film poster for the David Bowie drama “Just a Gigolo”. This film was perfect for Bowie (you could genuinely believe he was a 1920s pseudo aristocrat) as the extravagantly named Paul Ambrosius von Przygodski. Tom Chantrell’s artwork (unique to the British release) places Bowie centre stage, cleverly portrayed in black and white whilst the supporting cast, including Kim Novak and Marlene Dietrich (her last movie appearance) are featured in full colour. With only minimal handling wear, this originally rolled (as issued), unrestored example displays to beautiful effect. The deep black background contrasted with vibrant colours makes for a truly impressive piece. One of Bowie’s most stylish movie posters and a fantastic piece of highly collectable original movie and music memorabilia and a perfect showcase for Chantrell’s incredible talent at catching an actors likeness.

    Trivia: The last on-screen appearance by Marlene Dietrich. German press reports claimed she was paid $250,000 for two days’ work.

  • The Omen Movie Poster

    The Omen

    £495.00

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

    Designed by Tom Jung this advance teaser for Richard Donner’s 1976 horror classic “The Omen” is a stunning example of horror art. The ominous wording YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED and the film’s title (the 666 featured in the O of OMEN is a great touch) are prominent when placed upon the deep black background with Damien illustrated in silhouette with his shadow depicted as that of a jackal. It’s such a simple design but so, so clever and perfectly suited to the portrait format offered here. From first year of release, 1976 this US one sheet presents to excellent effect, benefitting from conservation linen backing, with the original fold lines touched in to give a rolled impression. 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.

    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.

    The Omen

    £255.00

    “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.

  • The Omen Alternative Movie Poster

    The Omen

    £195.00

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

    With artwork by Timothy Pittides this limited edition alternative movie poster for Richard Donner’s 1976 horror classic “The Omen” is an impressive example of horror art that truly evokes the mystique and symbolism surrounding the movie with the artist having this to say about the commission – “When Rob Jones first approached me about THE OMEN, my brain went in a million different directions. Any time I consider a licensed property, my first thought is ‘How do I do this in a way that is unique in concept, and to me? The film is littered with memorable visuals, many of which propel it beyond its genre, and into the realm of pop culture consciousness. Ultimately, rather than recreating a literal scene, I wanted to portray something that occurs outside the frames of the film. Something sinister in nature with a hint of macabre beauty: Damien’s entrance into our world. This idea felt as natural as it did disturbing. Inking this beast of an image took close to 175 hours, and includes 55 colour layers done by hand. The artwork was rendered larger than I normally do to make sure all the dotwork stayed within correct proportions when elevated to poster size. It was tedious, but well worth it in the end”. From 2020 this hand-numbered example is #2 from a print run of only 100 and is presented rolled, flat and unfolded (as issued) and displays to excellent effect. A horror classic and a personal favourite movie with this art print an impressive item of cinematic movie memorabilia from one of the defining movie’s of the genre.
