A truly influential horror classic…Tobe Hooper’s adaption of the Stephen King vampire novel “Salem’s Lot”. This original 1981 (first year of release in Japan) Japan B2 film poster features great great horror imagery and often referred to as the “montage style” featuring the evil vampire Kurt Barlow over shadowing the vampire hunters including David Soul. “Salem’s Lot” originally aired in the USA as a 2-night mini-series with the first episode airing on November 17, 1979 and the second episode airing the following week on November 24, 1979. It was the first television mini-series (and the second film) to be based on the writings of author Stephen King and was a huge ratings success with word of mouth (the social media of the 80’s) creating the popular need for cinematic releases worldwide. Unique Japanese design and with no US or British big screen theatre release this is an extremely desirable and very rare film poster. In excellent unrestored condition this tri-folded (as issued) example presents & displays to superb effect and represents an exciting and scarce country unique piece of original horror film movie memorabilia.
Trivia: The biggest issue that divides fans of the novel and miniseries is the fact that Barlow is depicted as a hissing Nosferatu-like monster in the adaptation, as opposed to the speaking Dracula-like character of the novel. In an interview with Richard Kobritz he said the decision to go with the terrifying monster figure came out of concerns that a speaking, romanticized villain just wouldn’t be frightening enough, especially as John Badham‘s remake of Dracula (1979) starring Frank Langella was released in 1979. Stephen King was against the change at first, but after he saw the footage, he thought it may help the audience focus more on the main characters.

“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.

“BEING TERRIFIED IS JUST THE BEGINNING!”…The master of “intelligent horror”; David Cronenberg’s feature debut was in 1975 with the apt titled “SHIVERS”. This original UK quad film poster is from that first year of release. A bold, simple poster design making great use of of some fantastic horror art. Folded (as issued) this example presents very well with some very minor issues, as colours are rich and unfaded with the green dayglo of the title stand out in eye popping fashion. More often than not a poster that turns up in a double bill feature but here it comes in its original single release format, making it very rare and highly desirable.

Just trapped in an insane mind.”

“It started in May in a small town and every month after that whenever the moon is full… It came back.”
An original, rolled 1985 US One Sheet movie poster for Stephen King’s werewolf horror romp “Silver Bullet”. The movie is just pure fun, one of those horror movies that relies on atmospheric tension and frightening monsters. The werewolf is pretty scary in this adaptation of Stephen King’s novella, “Cycle of the Werewolf”. 1980s teen star Corey Haim is just fine as a wheelchair-bound young boy who discovers there’s a werewolf in their midst—the townsfolk think the murders are the work of a psycho killer, but Corey and his sister Megan Follows convince Uncle Red (a cool Gary Busey) and they set off to find the identity of the werewolf. Everett McGill is fine as the creepy minister, and the whole movie works because it doesn’t take itself too seriously and it recognises that. Truly one of the better treatments of a King work and a fantastic example of high grade cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Tarker’s Mills, where the action takes place, is a fictional town within the Stephen King universe. It borders locations of other King’s works also adapted to film, such as Chester’s Mill (Under the Dome (2013)), Derry (It (1990)) and Castle Rock (Needful Things (1993), Cujo (1983) and Pet Sematary (1989)), among others.

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.

“Heads Will Roll”
A true ‘Burtonesque’ classic. Tim Burton seems like the only film maker on the planet who could come up with characters such as the ones found in “Sleepy Hollow.” With a host of regular Burton collaborators and some familiar new faces (if you are a fan of classic horror you’ll be delighted) his stylish adaptation is based on the story by Washington Irving called “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, where he captures the slumbering, creepy village of Sleepy Hollow with vivid details and imaginative description. The way everything is presented, the trees look like something out of a fairy tale and the scenery represents deception in a mysterious wonderland, and makes this production a captivating and magical film experiences which is beautifully represented in this US one-sheet designed by BLT and Associates from first year of release, 1999. Presented rolled (as issued) it displays to excellent effect and represents a fantastic piece of original movie memorabilia for an innovative and popular film maker.
Trivia: Director Tim Burton says the film was inspired by the Gothic horror films of Mario Bava and Hammer Film Productions. Burton brought Hammer veteran Michael Gough out of retirement for a small role, and recruited Sir Christopher Lee, a veteran of both Hammer and Bava’s films, for a cameo.

Trivia: The film features fragments of Ennio Morricone‘s Erotico Mistico from the film Maddalena (1971) and Peppino De Luca‘s Rito a Los Angeles from the film Dorian Gray (1970). Both songs bear strong resemblance to different parts Iron Butterfly‘s 17-minute classic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, from 1968.

“WHO WILL SURVIVE AND WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF THEM ?”
Described by The News of the World as the ‘sickest carnival of slaughter ever seen’...“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” has become one of the most debated films of all time bringing (at the time) nauseating, forceful horror to the screen with a focussed realism that was new to mainstream cinema. Arguments raged as most councils and cinemas across the country banned it’s release (The full fascinating story of the censorship battle is well worth checking out on the official BBFC website.) with only a handful of cinemas eventually bowing to public demand and showing the Film. Reimagined on an incredible scale and one of the most licensed titles for an alternative movie poster – it takes something special to stand out from the crowd and Graham Humphreys’ 2023 release certainly does that; horror art at its finest. Printed for Texas Frightmare Weekend and only available to purchase from the Mondo booth, this signed and hand-numbered (AP 28/30) artist proof print is an outstanding tribute to Tobe Hooper’s ground breaking movie, introducing one of the horror genre’s most iconic characters and a very rare and collectable alternative movie poster for perhaps the most influential cult horror film of the modern era…“There are moments when we cannot believe that what is happening is really true. Pinch yourself and you may find out that it is.”
Trivia: Ed Gein – on whom “Leatherface” was loosely based–was not a true serial killer, as he actually only killed two people, both of them women. He was however, a graverobber. He stole body parts–only female–from many different graves. He kept some of the parts in his refrigerator, and skinned one corpse and wore the skin as a dress.

An extraordinary and surreal masterpiece from Neil Jordan, “The Company of Wolves” is an allegory that examines the journey from innocence to adulthood in an adult re-telling of the much loved fairytale “Little Red Riding Hood”. Certainly a strange story; the mix of sexual symbolism, poetic beauty and gory horror moments seems a bit forced at times – but when it does work it’s utterly fascinating and you can see it has become such a cult film of the genre and well respected by fans of both horror and quality film making. Offered here is a rare 1984 first release country of origin UK quad film poster for this British film featuring an intricate design by Red Ranch with beautiful detailed border artwork by Alan Lee with the storybook illustration attributed to Andy Seymour. An extremely desirable movie poster from a ‘golden age’ of pre-CGI physical movie special effects and a period of superior werewolf inspired films that is presented in excellent original unrestored folded (as issued) condition and represents a fine example of rare and collectable original British horror movie memorabilia.
