  • Andy Warhol's Frankenstein Movie Poster

    Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein

    £225.00

    “To know death, Otto, you have to f**k life…in the gall bladder!”

    Although the Andy Warhol name is only referred to in the title for Paul Morrissey’s 1974 shock horror “Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein” (also released as “Flesh for Frankenstein”) it cannot be said that the accompanying movie poster (not by Warhol) for this Bryanston Pictures release is not impressive.  A clever, stylish design with FRANKENSTEIN apparently written in blood over an open cut then sewn together in thick black thread…certainly memorable. Any art or memorabilia with a Warhol connection is very collectable and this original 1974 US one sheet is no exception. Presented unrestored, in original folded (as issued) condition this lovely example displays very well and represents  a fine piece of original movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The film was shot with a 3D technique called Spacevision. Unlike other 3D films that usually required red and blue glasses, this one required polarized glasses with one lens slightly shifted, which allowed full colors in the film. The 3D effects were mostly pronounced in the center of the screen.

  • Brides of Dracula – ” Las Novias de Dracula”

    £495.00

    “Transylvania, land of dark forests, dread mountains and black, unfathomed lakes. Still the home of magic and devilry as the nineteenth century draws to it’s close. Count Dracula, monarch of all vampires, is dead, but his disciples live on, to spread the cult and corrupt the world.!”

    Terence Fisher’s “Brides of Dracula”  is my top three favourite Hammer Film. Wonderfully written, superbly acted. Peter Cushing is a joy to behold as Van Helsing. His memorable scene in which he exsises the vampires bite from his neck is iconic. Hammer’s follow up to their hugely successful Dracula (Horror of in some territories). Featuring a version of the beautiful painted artwork used on the British quad, this original Spanish one-sheet  from 1960 is a genuine thing of beauty where the imagery (in my humble opinion) suits the portrait format better than the landscape format of the quad. Colours are superb, with the ‘blood’ red of the title particularly vibrant. Originally folded (as issued), this rare example has been conservation linen backed and looks absolutely superb with the fold lines having been touched  in it now appears rolled. An extremely desirable and collectable item of horror movie cinematic memorabilia.

    Trivia: The front doors of Oakely Court served as the main entrance to Meinster Castle. Oakley Court has been featured in a number of classic horror films, including The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), The Horror of Dracula (1958), The Evil of Frankenstein (1964), Die, Monster, Die (1965), and The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975).

    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.
