“The Trick Was To Stay Alive”
John Carpenter’s masterpiece of modern horror “Halloween” was the first and by far the best of this enduring film franchise which acted as the definitive slasher flick. The artwork for any of the film poster produced are all extremely collectable and strikingly individual in design; from the ‘Jack O’Lantern’ US one sheet to the UK quad film poster featuring a screaming Jamie Lee Curtis as Michael Myers’ hand appears at the car window; all seen through an icy blue haze. Offered here is one of the best of the more modern alternative movie poster designs by the artist Tyler Stout. Stout’s unique linear style and use of autumnal colour tones makes for a truly distinctive piece. Released in 2021 as a timed limited edition of only 2,170 (this is hand-numbered #1073) it immediately became a huge fan favourite. Originally rolled, flat-unfolded (as issued) the example offered displays to exceptional effect and represents a truly outstanding and extremely desirable item of collectable John Carpenter horror movie memorabilia.
Trivia: John Carpenter considered the hiring of Jamie Lee Curtis as the ultimate tribute to Sir Alfred Hitchcock who had given her mother, Janet Leigh, legendary status in Psycho (1960) (for the same reason, Dr. Sam Loomis was named after Sam Loomis from Psycho). During the same period, Universal studio producers and director Richard Franklin were trying to enroll Jamie Lee in the new production of Psycho II (1983).
…more detail“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is a new concept for the Star Wars franchise originally created by George Lucas and set before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. The first in a series of ‘standalone’ films, introducing a new group of heroes (& well known villain) as the Rebellion makes a risky move to steal the plans to the Death Star, setting up the epic saga to follow. Released through Bottleneck Gallery in conjunction with Acme Archives in 2021, this “Verge of Greatness” print for “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” features beautifully illustrated artwork and an incredible colour palette by Matt Ferguson, who also produced artwork for Gareth Edwards’ newest film, The Creator (2023) and a host of others for some of cinema’s most popular series. The use of a smaller figure of Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) looking up towards the more prominent Empire figures and Death Star demonstrates the enormous “rebellion” ahead of her. This limited edition fine art print is hand-numbered #212/300. A very rare and desirable example of original Star Wars movie memorabilia from what has become one of the most collectable and popular modern movie franchises.
