  An American Werewolf in London

  £595.00

  “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 Oscar. This 2011 hand-numbered (#31/380) and signed by the artist – Olly Moss alternative movie poster is a very clever design as the werewolf’s head is incorporated into a silhouette map of the British Isles. Presented in excellent condition this rolled (as issued) example displays superbly and is an impressive piece of horror poster artwork and is a hugely desirable alternative movie poster by one of the leading artists working in the medium. “I vote we go back to the Slaughtered Lamb”

  Trivia: John Landis wrote the screenplay for this film following an incident while shooting Kelly’s Heroes (1970) (while he was a go-fer) in the countryside of Yugoslavia. While driving along a country road with a colleague, Landis encountered a gypsy funeral. The body was being buried in a massively deep grave, feet first, while wrapped in garlic so he would not rise from the dead.

  An American Werewolf in London

  £195.00

  “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 Oscar. This 2022 signed Artist Proof (AP) alternative movie poster by Matt Ferguson and Vice Press is a proper horror poster as David (David Naughton) and Jack (Griffin Dunne) are shown walking through the moonlit moors unaware as a pool of blood forms at their feet. Ferguson has cleverly incorporated the piercing eyes of the werewolf into the title design which is finished (as is the pool of blood) in bright red and printed with a spot ink varnish for a truly dramatic effect. Presented in excellent condition this rolled (as issued) example displays superbly and is an impressive piece of horror poster artwork and is a hugely desirable alternative movie poster. “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.
