  Frankenhooker

  £295.00

  “She’s hot. She’s sexy. And she’s sutured to please.”

  An incredible country of origin, US one-sheet poster for one of the greatest cult horror movies ever made…Frank Henenlotter‘s “Frankenhooker”. Featuring country unique artwork, this really is eye-catching imagery created for this cult horror-comedy title. Any paper for this title is extremely sought after and also ultra scarce, with this being the first time we have ever offered a one-sheet for sale – and we are delighted that it is a country of origin example, which has always been a personal favourite of mine. Originally folded (as issued) this displays very well and represents scarce cinematic movie memorabilia for a film that has become one of the most desirable titles of the genre…“A Terrifying Tale Of Sluts And Bolts.”

  Trivia: Elizabeth has the last name of Shelley. This is an homage to Mary Shelley, the author of the original “Frankenstein”.

  Graduate, The

  £695.00

  “This is Benjamin. He’s a little worried about his future.”

  Nautilus Art Prints released this Laurent Durieux variant as a limited run of 200 in 2017. In this poster, Durieux creates a bright and colourful retro summer aesthetic as he illustrates the memorable scuba-suit pool scene from Mark Nichols’ 1967 comedy-drama-romance “The Graduate”. This scene was very symbolic in displaying Ben’s (Dustin Hoffman) lack of control over his future whilst he was still trapped under hs parents control. The 12-colour screen print is signed by Durieux and hand-numbered #36/200. Having a very limited release these alternative movie posters are incredibly rare. Unrestored, this rolled (as issued) poster presents and displays to exceptional effect and represents a superb example of genuinely scarce modern film memorabilia featuring one of Hollywood’s greatest romantic comedy’s…classic and very COOL!

  Trivia: In the famous promotional still and original poster for this film, Dustin Hoffman is seen in the background framed by Mrs. Robinson’s shapely leg. The leg in that photo didn’t belong to Anne Bancroft, however; it belonged to a then-unknown model, Linda Gray, who later played Mrs. Robinson in a London stage musical of The Graduate & Sue Ellen Ewing in the TV show Dallas.

  Gremlins

  £95.00

  “Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous.”

  An excellent example for one of the best comedy horror films ever made…“Gremlins”. Written by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter, The Goonies) and directed by Joe Dante it was a huge box office hit. Re-released by Warner Bros. in 2019, recognising the fact that the movie has now become a classic ‘Christmas’ movie with Gizmo dressed in a Santa hat set against a Snow White background with the landscape format of the British UK quad perfectly suited to his design. Originally rolled (as issued) this 2019 film poster presents and displays very well. Totally original and unrestored this hard to find modern re-release of an important 80’s movie is becoming more and more sought after and represents a great collectable piece of original film movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Zach Galligan recounted in an interview that when the movie was made, there was no CGI, so all of the Gremlins were animatronics, each costing between $30,000-40,000 ($60,000-$90,500 adjusted for 2024 inflation). When everyone left the lot for the day, security would have everyone open the trunks of their cars to make sure they weren’t stolen.

  Gremlins

  £195.00

  “Don’t get him wet, keep him out of bright light, and never feed him after midnight.”

  An excellent rolled example for one of the best comedy horror films ever made…“Gremlins”. Written by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter, The Goonies) and directed by Joe Dante it was a huge box office hit. The global advertising poster campaign that accompanied the release was designed by Intralink Film Graphic with finished artwork by John Alvin. Alvin knows how to produce a blockbusting poster as his work on E.T. & Blade Runner demonstrate. His work for “Gremlins” doesn’t disappoint with a tantalising image of ‘Gizmo’ emerging from his box with a little hidden detail – if you look closely to the button fastening on the waistband of the jeans you will see the Ambling logo. The landscape format of the British UK quad is perfectly suited to Alvin’s artwork. Originally rolled (as issued) this 1984 film poster presents and displays superbly. Totally original and unrestored this hard to find example of an important 80’s poster is becoming more and more sought after and represents a great collectable piece of original film movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: This movie and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) are credited with inspiring the Motion Picture Association (MPA) to create the PG-13 rating. Many felt the movies were too violent for a PG rating, but not violent enough for an R.
