    The Omen

    “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.
