Jonathan Demme’s “The Silence of the Lambs” is one of the best horror thriller movies ever made; excellent Award winning performances, full of dark humour and gory thrills. This 2020 alternative movie poster by the American graphic artist Todd Alcott is a truly outstanding piece as he re-imagines and pays homage to the classic 1962 one-sheet for another horror thriller “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane”.

Alcott’s artwork represents a great twist on traditional horror movie memorabilia and is a great example in the rapidly expanding area of alternative movie posters being one of the best looking alternative movie posters I have seen.

A rare example of the UK quad movie poster for “Fight the Future” the first big screen outing for FBI Agents Mulder and Scully as the cult TV show of the 90’s is transferred to cinemas. Chris Carter’s hugely influential alien conspiracy series The X-Files ran for 9 seasons and pretty much defined TV in the 1990’s. It’s format and huge success meant a theatrical release was inevitable. Offered here is an original advance teaser “The Truth is revealed only in Cinemas” from its first release in 1998. Well designed; dark and brooding with a stark red “X” and a high gloss finish (I have been told that this finish represented the shiny alien blood) it certainly catches the attention. Presented in excellent rolled (as issued) condition it appears almost faultless and represents an investment grade example of desirable and collectable original TV & film movie memorabilia for a show that defined a generation.
