  Brides of Dracula – ” Las Novias de Dracula”

  £495.00

  “Transylvania, land of dark forests, dread mountains and black, unfathomed lakes. Still the home of magic and devilry as the nineteenth century draws to it’s close. Count Dracula, monarch of all vampires, is dead, but his disciples live on, to spread the cult and corrupt the world.!”

  Terence Fisher’s “Brides of Dracula”  is my top three favourite Hammer Film. Wonderfully written, superbly acted. Peter Cushing is a joy to behold as Van Helsing. His memorable scene in which he exsises the vampires bite from his neck is iconic. Hammer’s follow up to their hugely successful Dracula (Horror of in some territories). Featuring a version of the beautiful painted artwork used on the British quad, this original Spanish one-sheet  from 1960 is a genuine thing of beauty where the imagery (in my humble opinion) suits the portrait format better than the landscape format of the quad. Colours are superb, with the ‘blood’ red of the title particularly vibrant. Originally folded (as issued), this rare example has been conservation linen backed and looks absolutely superb with the fold lines having been touched  in it now appears rolled. An extremely desirable and collectable item of horror movie cinematic memorabilia.

  Trivia: The front doors of Oakely Court served as the main entrance to Meinster Castle. Oakley Court has been featured in a number of classic horror films, including The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), The Horror of Dracula (1958), The Evil of Frankenstein (1964), Die, Monster, Die (1965), and The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975).

  The Rocky Horror Picture Show

  £125.00

  “Give yourself over to absolute pleasure. Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh – erotic nightmares beyond any measure, and sensual daydreams to treasure forever. Can’t you just see it? Don’t dream it, be it.”

  “Lets do the Time warp again”..the signature song and dance for the most successful audience participation movie of all time. The ultimate Midnight movie – A true horror, sci-fi, musical cult classic (& you don’t get to say that too often). This country of origin UK quad film poster is from 40th Anniversary digitally remastered release in 2015 featuring reworked artwork (a huge pair of BLOOD RED LIPS) from the ‘Different Set of Jaws’ US poster campaign. Immediately recognisable as ‘Rocky Horror’ and hugely sought after by the film’s hardcore and loyal worldwide fan base. Originally rolled (as issued) this superb example presents and displays to excellent effect & represents a really fine and affordable item of original film movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Oakley Court, Dr. Frank N. Furter’s “Castle”, was used in numerous Hammer horror films made at adjacent Bray Studios (where the lab and ballroom scenes were shot), including The House in Nightmare Park (1973), The Reptile (1966) and The Brides of Dracula (1960)
