  • Darkman Movie Poster

    Darkman

    £125.00

    “They destroyed everything he had, everything he was. Now, crime has a new enemy and justice has a new face.”

    An original 1990 US one-sheet movie poster for Sam Raimi’s comic book inspired ant-hero “Darkman”. Raimi’s cult classic creation is one of those movies that has aged better with time than on its first release with a loyal and devoted fanbase. Lead actor, Liam Neeson (in his first starring role) plays the titular hero with real style and features prominently (albeit swathed in bandages) on the John Alvin designed US one-sheet offered here as he’s seen almost as a silhouette set against an explosive city backdrop. Totally unrestored, this rolled (as issued) example displays & presents to very good effect. A great looking piece of horror, comic book style artwork that represents a scarce piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.

  • Escape From New York Movie Poster

    Escape From New York

    £225.00

    “The world’s greatest leader is a hostage in the most dangerous place on Earth. Now only the deadliest man alive can save him.”

    You probably couldn’t find better movie from the 1980’s that introduces such an iconic cult character in Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken (criminally only used in one more movie) or sums up the period quite like John Carpenter’s quintessential  sci-fi actioner “Escape From New York”. Carpenter always a well regarded and popular film maker has enjoyed a huge renaissance in more recent years so it was no surprise that this title was one of four seminal movies by the director re-released by Studio Canal in 2018, remastered in 4K, with the others being “They Live”, “Prince of Darkness” and “The Fog”. All four movies had a strictly limited cinematic release and were accompanied a newly designed poster campaign (quads and one-sheets) by leading artist Matt Ferguson. Ferguson’s unique artistic style is evident throughout the four, each with its very own unique colour palette. A number of these full-size 30″ x 40″ UK quad styles were also released as a limited edition art print by Vice Press. Identical to the cinematic quad, in fact exactly the same – same paper, printer etc these were issued as timed releases each signed and hand-numbered by Matt Ferguson. Offered here is one of these signed art prints numbered #48 from a print run of only 231. Originally rolled (as issued) it presents in excellent condition. A cool, cult poster that represents very collectable & desirable original film memorabilia from one of the greatest and most influential director’s who is still actively working in the film industry.

    Trivia: The model of the city set was repainted and reused for Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner.

    Trivia: The large demonic head Ash battles in the climax of the film, which the crew nicknamed the “rotten applehead”, was too large and cumbersome for the crew to carry back to California, so it was left in North Carolina and soon disappeared.

  • Food of the Gods Movie Poster

    Food of the Gods

    £195.00

    “H.G. WELLS predicted the atom bomb, nuclear energy and space travel…But his most frightening prediction was of a ecology gone berserk. WAS HE RIGHT AGAIN?”

    A masterclass in movie poster design by Tom Chantrell. Chantrell has created artwork that harks back to the B-movie horror film posters of the 1950’s. “Food of the Gods” clearly was set in this genre was loosely based on an H.G. Wells’ novel, telling the story of a strange substance that turns creatures into huge, giant man eating monsters. Showing his dedication to his art, Chantrell actually visited a farm in order to take photos of a cockerel to ensure that his illustration was accurate – giant rats were more evident in the film than the cockerel shown on the quad but Chantrell rightly deduced that images of large rats might deter the paying public. Nostalgic 70’s hokum that is complemented by a first rate film poster that’s a great example of horror artwork…including use of bold day-glo orange inks in the title. Originally folded (as issued) this UK quad from 1976 is presented in incredible unrestored condition (most likely unused) and is the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale. In true investment grade condition, this genuinely rare cult classic represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Note: The image of the distressed lady (a la Fay Wray from “King Kong”) was a stock pose that Chantrell frequently used in his poster designs ie “Quatermass & The Pitt” (1967) and “Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed” (1969)

    Trivia: One of the rat costumes would later be reused for “The Star Wars Holiday Special”.

This limited-edition example has been hand-numbered #6 from a print run of 325.

Incredibly rare and highly collectible, an excellent example of modern cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Boris Karloffs Monster in this film does not physically resemble the character in Mary Shelley‘s novel. It was make-up artist Jack P. Pierce who came up with innovations such as the Monster’s flat head, the bolts through the neck, the droopy eyelids, and the poorly-fitted suit. Any future Frankenstein film that features any of these physical abnormalities is taking its inspiration from Pierce’s make-up work.
