    £325.00

    “Scream as your nightmares come true”

    Sam Raimi’s “The Evil Dead” is one of the best horror comedy movies ever made, full of dark humour and gory thrills. As most people know, this is one of the greatest performing films, dollar for dollar in cinematic history. One of the most popular film titles for alternative movie posters artists, this 2018 hand-numbered (#18/100) print by Paul Mann is a standout piece and a proper horror poster as a chainsaw wielding Ash (Bruce Campbell) accompanied by his demonically possessed supporting cast and as Mann has cleverly illustrated here includes the haunted cabin and the iconic yellow 1973 Oldsmobile Delta. Presented in excellent condition this rolled (as issued) example displays superbly that represents an impressive piece of horror artwork and is a hugely desirable alternative movie poster. “I know now that my wife has become host to a Kandarian demon. I fear that the only way to stop those possessed by the spirits of the book is through the act of… bodily dismemberment.”

    Trivia: Over his years as a director, Raimi’s 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 (originally bought by Raimi’s father for the family when Sam was 14) has “played” Ash’s car in the Evil Dead movies, Uncle Ben and Aunt May’s car in the Spider-Man movies, Annie’s car in The Gift (2000), and Mrs. Ganoush’s car in Drag Me to Hell (2009), and has made cameos in nearly all of his other movies.

    “Kiss Your Nerves Good-Bye…The Sequel To The Ultimate Experience In Grueling Terror !”

    Incredibly rare and much sought after original 1987 UK quad film poster for Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead sequel…“Evil Dead II” (Dead By Dawn). The sequel, made six years later and technically a retcon sequel, was allotted a significantly larger budget than the first and is more of a black comedy than the original. Lead actor Bruce Campbell is put through a continually escalating series of horrific encounters that allow him to show the full extent of his talent for slapstick comedy. Palace Pictures bought the rights to distribute the second film and once again commissioned Graham Humphreys to design the quad and video artwork for it after his iconic design for the first film had proved so successful. Released in cinemas and on VHS almost simultaneously the modest outlay for the rights to distribute the film proved to be an excellent deal as it went on to see great box-office takings and thousands of tapes sold, but also resulted in making these theatrical posters a real rarity. Totally unrestored this originally ROLLED (as issued) British UK quad film poster is from first year of release, 1987 that displays & presents to excellent effect. A great looking piece of horror art that represents an exciting and scarce country unique British piece of original horror film movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The large demonic head Ash battles in the climax of the film, which the crew nicknamed the “rotten applehead”, was too large and cumbersome for the crew to carry back to California, so it was left in North Carolina and soon disappeared. Its whereabouts were unknown for a number of years until it was found in a Halloween haunted house attraction just outside the original shooting location of Wadesboro, North Carolina.

  • Food of the Gods Movie Poster

    Food of the Gods

    £195.00

    “H.G. WELLS predicted the atom bomb, nuclear energy and space travel…But his most frightening prediction was of a ecology gone berserk. WAS HE RIGHT AGAIN?”

    A masterclass in movie poster design by Tom Chantrell. Chantrell has created artwork that harks back to the B-movie horror film posters of the 1950’s. “Food of the Gods” clearly was set in this genre was loosely based on an H.G. Wells’ novel, telling the story of a strange substance that turns creatures into huge, giant man eating monsters. Showing his dedication to his art, Chantrell actually visited a farm in order to take photos of a cockerel to ensure that his illustration was accurate – giant rats were more evident in the film than the cockerel shown on the quad but Chantrell rightly deduced that images of large rats might deter the paying public. Nostalgic 70’s hokum that is complemented by a first rate film poster that’s a great example of horror artwork…including use of bold day-glo orange inks in the title. Originally folded (as issued) this UK quad from 1976 is presented in incredible unrestored condition (most likely unused) and is the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale. In true investment grade condition, this genuinely rare cult classic represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Note: The image of the distressed lady (a la Fay Wray from “King Kong”) was a stock pose that Chantrell frequently used in his poster designs ie “Quatermass & The Pitt” (1967) and “Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed” (1969)

    Trivia: One of the rat costumes would later be reused for “The Star Wars Holiday Special”.

  • From Dusk Till Dawn Movie Poster

    From Dusk Till Dawn

    £195.00

    “We got a bunch of fucking vampires out there, trying to get in here and suck our fucking blood. And that’s it. Plain and simple. I don’t want to hear anything about “I don’t believe in vampires,” because I don’t fucking believe in vampires, but I believe in my own two eyes, and what I saw, is fucking vampires. Now, do we all agree that what we are dealing with is vampires?”

    Robert Rodriguez’ “From Dusk till Dawn” combines vicious violence, Cheech Marin vampires, and some funny dark humour from the cast into one big collective film. More than a basic horror movie, it shows Rodriquez as a fine director and Quentin Tarantino as a tight screenwriter who bring to the screen shoot em up vampire fun for the Pulp Fiction/Evil Dead devotees. Pulse Advertising produced a cool looking poster (a mean looking, gun-toting George Clooney) for this grindhouse, horror-heist collaboration. Visual impact and design are key aspects of any Tarantino/Rodriguez production and this beautiful example perfectly illustrates that fact. This original, rolled (as issued) US One Sheet movie poster from 1996 displays and presents to excellent effect and represents a fine piece of cult movie memorabilia from one of the best collaborative duos working today.
