“One Million Years B.C.” is the most iconic of all Hammer’s non-horror offerings with the original Tom Chantrell UK quad featuring the quintessential image of Raquel Welch at her peak, one of the most desirable movie posters for any collector. But the movie also featured ground breaking (and the best) dinosaur special effects seen on the big screen (at the time), created by the master of stop motion Ray Harryhausen. And it’s the dinosaurs that dominate the imagery on tis Japanese B2 for the 1985 re-release, with a T-Rex, Triceratops, Pterodactyl, Brontosaurus and Allosaurus all beautifully represented – for the non-dinosaur fans there is of course a great shot of Miss Welch wearing the obligatory fur-bikini. Totally original and unrestored this sought after example is presented in originally folded (as issued) condition and displays to excellent effect. It’s a very cool looking poster with a design unique to this Japanese release and incredibly collectable that represents a fine piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: A poster of Raquel Welch‘s character of Loana from this film was featured in numerous other films and TV series episodes. One of the most famous examples of this is the film The Shawshank Redemption (1994).

“Doomed To Walk The Earth As Slaves To The Lord Of The Living Dead!!!”
“The Plague Of The Zombies” is easily one of Hammer’s finest efforts and essential viewing for fans of the living dead. The talented cast give some excellent performances (Andre Morell, in particular, is great as the open-minded man of science who is quite prepared to embrace the notion of witchcraft), whilst director John Gilling ensures that the film rattles along at a fair pace, managing some pretty chilling set-pieces in the process: a creepy dream-sequence that sets the standards for corpses crawling from their graves; a shocking scene in which we meet our first walking dead; and a truly memorable moment that features the decapitation of a zombie by spade (come to think of it, maybe Sam Raimi also owes a little of his success to this film). Originally released in a double bill presentation with “Dracula, Prince of Darkness” the standalone British UK quad that accompanied the film’s release in 1966 was only used in a small number of provincial cinemas. It is certainly impressive and one of the hardest (if not the hardest) to find from the House of Horror with a genuine scarcity that appeals to serious Hammer collectors and horror fans. Extremely innovative for the time the use of glow in the dark inks (see supplementary photograph) transforms (under a blacklight) an impressive horror poster into something very spooky indeed. The zombie imagery, much like the film is particularly creepy. Offered folded (as issued) this original unrestored example presents very well, but does show signs of age and handling wear with the X- certificate rating blacked out. Not just incredibly scarce, this was Hammer’s only foray into the zombie genre, a full two years before George A. Romero came to prominence with a certain “Night of the Living Dead” and represents one of THE Hammer posters own.
Trivia: Before allowing the film to be released, the B.B.F.C instructed “Hammer” to trim one or two scenes. Amongst them, the scene where Andre Morell decapitates the zombie in the graveyard with a shovel had to be reduced from showing four blows with the weapon to just the one.

“A Force more powerful than 1,000 H-Bombs unleashed to devastate earth ! World in panic ! Cities in flames !”
A beautiful and incredibly rare country of origin UK quad film poster and one of Hammer’s best for Roy Ward Baker’s 1967 supernatural alien invasion thriller “Quatermass and the Pit”. Tom Chantrell’s magnificent detailed artwork; heaving bosoms, London aflame in ruins, glittering spaceships, martian devils is stunning…A personal favourite and featured in Marcus Hearn’s excellent book “The Art of Hammer”. Folded (as issued) with strong vibrant colours this totally original unrestored investment grade example from first year of release 1967 presents superbly and is a very rare example of country of origin Hammer Horror memorabilia and one of the best movie posters produced from one of their finest and most respected productions…“You realise what you are implying? That we owe our human condition here to the intervention of insects”
Trivia: When Dr. Quatermass is picking at the eyeball of the dead Martian creature in his laboratory, the pupils of the compound eye are a rectangular slot shape rather then round like a human eye. This is reminiscent of a goat’s eye, a creature that, for centuries, has been associated with witchcraft and sorcery.

All eight cards feature Hammer regular Andrew Keir as Professor Bernard Quatermass in a variety of key scenes from the film. Flat and unfolded (as issued) with strong vibrant colours this totally original unrestored set of lobby cards, from first year of release 1967 present superbly and are a very rare example of country of origin Hammer Horror memorabilia from one of their finest and most respected productions…“You realise what you are implying?

“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.

One of the most fun of all the famous (and infamous) Hammer productions and that’s not just because of the scantily clad prehistoric cave girls (with many on display here) but also a bright day-glo pink poster by Tom Chantrell for the 1967 release of Michael Carreras’ “Slave Girls”. Chantrell’s poster for the British marketing campaign was accompanied by an impressive front of house lobby card set of eight. The complete set (of eight cards) as offered here, contains some memorable imagery, in particular a great, shot of Martine Beswick, perfectly cast as the evil Queen Kari as she lounges on a bed animal skins. Extremely scarce as a complete set, these country of origin examples from first year of release 1967 are presented in totally original and unrestored, high grade condition. A Hammer movie that is a real personal favourite with me, with paper from it incredibly collectable.
Trivia: Shot in only four weeks using sets and costumes from One Million Years B.C. (1966), in order to offset the earlier film’s cost of £140,000 pounds.

“It’s coming for YOU from Space to wipe all living things from the face of the Earth! CAN IT BE STOPPED?”
Blending horror and science fiction in the way that only Hammer can, “The Quatermass Xperiment” delivers a haunting vision of the terrifying consequences of unchecked exploration. In this tense, suspenseful tale of scientific ambition gone awry, a space expedition takes a nightmarish turn when an astronaut crash-lands on Earth—only to begin mutating into something horrifyingly inhuman. As his transformation accelerates, his struggle to contain violent urges proves increasingly futile. Scientists and authorities race to understand the catastrophe unfolding before them, in a desperate attempt to prevent a monstrous disaster. Created by the legendary Nigel Kneale and directed by the great Val Guest, “The Quatermass Xperiment” is available for the first time ever in 4K UHD and the poster offered here is from the 4K release in 2024. Released by Hammer for a very limited cinematic run that coincided with the newly remastered Blu Ray, this extremely rare UK quad is from the cinema release and not one of the 10 offered as an incentive on Hammer’s website. It really is an incredible poster with some outstanding horror artwork by Graham Humphreys. It presents to excellent effect and is a must have Hammer Horror collectable.
Trivia: The decision to drop the “e” from the title The Quatermass Xperiment was a deliberate and strategic choice by Hammer Films. When the film was released in 1955, the British Board of Film Censors had recently introduced the ‘X’ certificate, restricting admission to those aged 16 and over. Hammer sought to highlight the film’s mature themes and unsettling content by integrating the letter ‘X’ directly into the title. This subtle yet effective alteration served not only as a marketing tool but also as a signal to audiences that this was a bold and provocative work—one that pushed the boundaries of what was typically shown in British science fiction cinema at the time.
