  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).

  Satanic Rites of Dracula

  £995.00

  “My revenge has spread over centuries and has just begun!”

  The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1974) was the eighth Hammer film and the seventh and final one to feature Christopher Lee as Count Dracula and the last time Lee and Peter Cushing would star together. The British poster campaign was illustrated by Hammer’s regular artist Tom Chantrell. The green-wash background contrasts effectively with the red Day-Glo title of the film, with Lee’s Dracula the focus of attention against a London skyline featuring the familiar landmarks of Big Ben and the Post-Office Tower. Presented unrestored and in excellent original folded (as issued) condition, this originally belonged to the renowned horror historian and collector Forrest Ackerman and is accompanied by a certificate from his Estate. A personal favourite of mine and featured in Marcus Hearn’s excellent book “The Art of Hammer”. An excellent investment grade example of original rare Hammer Horror movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Count Dracula poses as a multi-millionaire who is never seen in public and never photographed. A 1970s audience would inevitably have been reminded of the eccentric and reclusive Howard Hughes.
