“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 Paul Mann. Mann’s stunning imagery and use of bold colour tones makes for a truly eye-catching piece as a menacing Michael Myers takes centre stage against a backdrop of a flaming halloween pumpkin. Released in 2024 as a limited edition of only 70 (this is hand-numbered #12). 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).

What is Giclee ?
Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.
The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.
Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

“Witchcraft enters the computer age, and a different terror begins.”
John Carpenter’s masterpiece of modern horror “Halloween” spawned a multitude of sequels which included this 1982 offering “Halloween III: Season of the Witch”.

Who better then to take on the artistic duties than the modern maestro of horror artwork – Graham Humphreys. The content and characterisations are super realistic, layout and colours perfectly balanced and a near perfect example of a re-imagined poster. Released in 2024 as an exclusive Private Commission, this strictly limited Artist Proof edition is hand-numbered AP 11/15 and signed by the artist. Immediately selling out when launched, this originally rolled, flat-unfolded (as issued) example displays to exceptional effect and represents a truly outstanding and extremely desirable item of collectable movie memorabilia with a ‘modern’ twist.

Designed by the creative arts agency Feref Associates this colourful and energetic UK quad film poster is a fitting tribute to the over the top 80’s. Like many of this type of ‘art-house’ film the cinematic release was strictly limited, making any paper from the original release extremely scarce and very sought after by memorabilia and Dylan fans with the British UK quad design being particularly desirable. This original 1987 film poster with its stylised artwork and ‘in your face colours’ was originally folded (as issued) and remains in excellent unrestored condition. It displays and presents near flawlessly with amazing rich colour tones and represents a fine example of original and collectable movie and rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia.

Does exactly what a fantasy movie is supposed to do! It lets your imagination run away with you. The Queen soundtrack (like their earlier “Flash“ Gordon) is fantastic. Sean Connery is of course ‘Sean Connery’ & wonderful in his part with Christopher Lambert perfectly cast as the untrained Immortal Connor MacLeod. Like many films that have reached a cult status it received a lukewarm reception (& that’s being kind) on its initial release resulting in very limited availability of the merchandising used to promote it especially the film posters. Offered here is a scarce one-sheet, unrestored, original country of origin (UK) film poster for Russell Mulcahy’s 1986 fantasy adventure “Highlander”. This superb originally rolled (as issued) example has a high gloss finish, deep, vibrant colours and stunning detailed Brian Bysouth sci-fi imagery. All making for an extremely desirable investment grade condition exceptionally scarce movie poster from a hugely influential movie that spawned numerous sequels, TV series’ & even a cartoon…One of the coolest poster’s from 1980’s and a fantastic piece of collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Queen originally intended to record only one song for this movie, but after viewing footage from the movie, they were inspired to write more. The band members each had a favorite scene and composed songs specifically for them. Brian May wrote “Who Wants to Live Forever” during the cab ride home after seeing the movie, and Roger Taylor used the line “It’s a kind of magic” as the basis for the end title song.

“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.

One of the most impressive ‘arthouse’ film posters of recent memory; a true visual pop art masterpiece featuring Lili Taylor (playing Valerie Jean Solanas) shooting a revolver all in the style of an Andy Warhol screen printed canvas. The one-sheet of Mary Harron’s controversial true-life documentary for “I Shot Andy Warhol” is a piece of art in its own right. The US imagery although similar to the British design, which is in block colour, is actually in black and white and because of this you I think it’s the more pleasing design and you would be hard pressed to find a better looking poster. Being an independent ‘arthouse’ film meant it was shown in a very small, limited amount of cinemas, making these posters are incredibly hard to come by. Totally original and unrestored this rolled (as issued) poster example displays to exceptional effect and represents a superb example of genuinely scarce modern film memorabilia.
Trivia: The filmmakers were given permission to reproduce some of Andy Warhol’s paintings and silk screens for the set, but they had to destroy them after filming.
