  A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 2 – Freddy’s Revenge

  £495.00

  “The Man of Your Dreams Is Back.”

  After the acclaim artist Graham Humphreys’ earned after his outstanding work on the British marketing campaign for Wes Craven’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street” it came as no surprise that he was commissioned once again for the sequel “A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 2 – Freddy’s Revenge”. With the success of the character Freddy is no longer a horror character to keep hidden on the advertising material and Humphreys certainly doesn’t hold back as Krueger’s fire scarred visage takes up nearly all of the poster with his (now familiar) battered fedora and razor bladed glove included in the imagery. Setting a high bench mark for modern horror artwork Humphreys’ imagery was only used for the UK quad design and is one of the most sought after film posters of the 80’s and the horror genre. Graham Humpreys has been dubbed England’s greatest living horror artist and it’s not hard to see why when you see this beautiful film poster from first year of release 1985. Totally original and unrestored, this rolled (as issued) example is presented in excellent condition with, unusually for a horror poster some incredibly bright colours. Extremely scarce and a must have for the serious collector it represents a fantastic item of horror movie memorabilia. The best I have ever offered for sale or seen – it really is exceptional and perfect for investment or to just enjoy.

  Trivia: The original glove from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) was used in this movie and was also seen hanging on the wall of the work shed in Evil Dead II (1987). This was in response to the use of The Evil Dead (1981) on a television screen in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and part of a continued banter between directors Wes Craven and Sam Raimi. However, when Wes Craven loaned the glove to the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) set, it was lost but eventually found by a Freddy fan, Mike Becker, at an auction in 2009.

  A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 3 – Dream Warriors

  £225.00

  “If you think you’ll get out alive, You must be dreaming.”

  Artist Graham Humphreys created the design for all five UK “A Nightmare on Elm Street” releases each individual and quite stunning in their own right, with this second sequel – “Dream Warriors” the only one to be photo-shopped. Now most poster aficionados turn their noses up at photo-shopped designs, but this is different; It’s a great, full of menace Freddy image offset against a plain misty effect background with bright blood red credits and title. Setting a high bench mark for modern horror artwork Humphreys’ imagery was only used for the British campaign, for both cinematic and video releases. Graham Humpreys has been dubbed England’s greatest living horror artist and it’s not hard to see why when you see this beautiful film poster from first year of release 1987. Totally original and unrestored, this rolled (as issued) example is presented in excellent condition. Extremely scarce in this high grade condition and a must have for the serious collector it represents a fantastic item of horror movie memorabilia. The best I have ever offered for sale or seen – it really is exceptional and perfect for investment or to just enjoy.

  Trivia: Wes Craven‘s original premise of the film involved Freddy invading the real world and haunting the actors and crew responsible for the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” films. This idea was inspired by Return to Horror High (1987), which was another meta-horror movie at the time. However, it was rejected by the studio for being too ambitious, though Craven was later able to use it for Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994).
