    “A masterpiece of modern horror”

    “Johnny’s a Dull Boy” – An early example of alternative movie poster (AMP) design and a perfect example of why this area has grown so quickly in the collectables market – it’s a an incredible image, which reminds me very much of the surrealistic poster designs that originated in Eastern Europe. David O’Daniel’s interpretation for “The Shining” art print is hand-signed and numbered #74/100 and comes from 2010 where it was used to advertise a limited screening of “The Shining” at the Castro Theatre, San Francisco. The Castro was one of the earliest exponents for showcasing AMPs, commissioning a number of ‘new’ artists to promote their upcoming screenings. Presented in rolled, unfolded (as issued) condition this stunning example displays and presents to excellent effect. A genuinely scarce and hard to find alternative movie poster and an impressive item of  horror film cinema memorabilia for one of the most important and influential horror films ever made.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…”

    Trivia #2: For the “Here’s Johnny” scene in which Jack breaks down the bathroom door, the props department built a door that could be easily broken. However, Jack Nicholson had worked as a volunteer fire marshal and tore it apart far too easily. The props department were then forced to build a stronger door.
