“See The Ghost With The Most”
An original 1988 UK Quad movie poster from the bizarre Tim Burton dark horror comedy “Beetlejuice”. Designed by B.D.Fox Independent with Carl Ramsey finished artwork this is a really great looking film poster; incredible lifelike imagery with the green titles and cast credits finished with a luminous ink – it really is effective, adding a spooky vibe to the design. “Beetlejuice” is a wacky, twisted and wild, typical Tim Burton comedy in which recently deceased young couple Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis) seek help from crazed spirit Betelgeuse – a.k.a. Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) – when they are unable to put up with the family that’s newly moved into their house. Presented in original ROLLED (as issued) high grade condition with colours that pop from the paper this super clean example represents a fantastic piece of cinema memorabilia for one of the best loved movies from the 1980s.
Trivia: The skeleton head on top of Betelgeuse’s Merry-Go-Round is one of the first appearances of Jack Skellington, a skeleton figure which Tim Burton had been drawing since 1982, and would ultimately be used as the main character of The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), which Burton co-wrote and produced.

“Merry Christmas, little fella. We know that you’re in there, and that you’re all alone.”
“Home Alone” was a massive blockbuster hit when released in 1990 launching the career of child star – Macaulay Culkin and it has gone on to attain cult status, as one of the greatest and best-loved Christmas movies and is one of the highest grossing box office comedy’s of all time. Known as the ‘door’ style this original UK quad is the rarer of the two issued and features Culkin’s character Kevin MacCallister and his adversaries the ‘Wet Bandits’ – Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Rolled (as issued) this example presents very well and represents a rare piece of collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: In May 2011, the house in Winnetka, Illinois used in this movie was listed for sale at $2.4 million. It sold in March 2012 for $1.585 million. The house is promoted as a tourist attraction, and cited as an example of “How to Get Your Home in the Movies”.

“A family comedy without the family.”
“Home Alone” was a massive blockbuster hit when released in 1990 launching the career of child star – Macaulay Culkin and it has gone on to attain cult status, as one of the greatest and best-loved Christmas movies and is one of the highest grossing box office comedy’s of all time. This original UK quad is from the 1991 re-release and features Culkin’s character Kevin MacCallister in ‘Holy Cow’ posse and his adversaries the ‘Wet Bandits’ – Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Rolled (as issued) this example presents to excellent effect with deep blue unfaded background and crisp colours on the character images. It represents a fine example of rare, collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Joe Pesci was used to adding profanity to most of his scripts, and kept forgetting that he was filming a family movie during his character’s on-screen outbursts, so director Chris Columbus advised him to say “fridge” instead of the “f” word. A lot of Pesci’s unintelligible pained mutterings were his way to avoid cursing.

“Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town, but his attempts to bring Christmas to his home causes confusion.”
Tim Burton seems like the only being on the planet who could come with characters such as the ones found in “The Nightmare Before Christmas” The feature is literally a tale likely to be found in a child’s dreams It creates a world of its own, inhabiting unforgettable characters, events that should be shared with generations This film is a visual masterpiece; a movie that deserves its reputation as a timeless “Burtonesque” classic. This original 1993 British quad poster designed by Nels Israelson perfectly captures all of Burton’s stylish elements – I particularly like the use of the bright orange day glow ink in the title.

Trivia: Jack’s doorbell is a nod to a similar contraption in the Addams Family original TV series.

Trivia: Lock, Shock, and Barrel’s names, as a whole, are derived from wordplay of the phrase “Lock, stock, and barrel,” a phrase meaning ‘everything’, which, in turn, was derived from the components of a musket.
