  John Carpenter’s The Thing

  £595.00

  “Man is The Warmest Place to Hide”

  An outstanding alternative movie poster by the maestro of British horror art, Graham Humphreys for John Carpenter’s horror, sci-fi classic “The Thing”. This superb limited edition example is incredibly rare in any edition and to offer an Artist Proof example (this is hand-numbered #10/10) is indeed a bonus. Antarctic Alien terror never looked better than this, thanks to Humphreys’ stunning imagery, MacReady (Kurt Russell) and the Thing illustrations are perfectly realised, with beautiful colour tones. Released in 2023 as an exclusive Private Commission, this immediately sold out when launched. Originally rolled, flat-unfolded (as issued) the example offered displays to exceptional effect and represents a truly outstanding and extremely desirable item of collectable movie memorabilia with a ‘modern’ twist…“Did you notice anything strange about the dog that arrived yesterday? Anything at all?”

  Trivia: Unused music composed for this film was later used by Ennio Morricone in Quentin Tarantino‘s The Hateful Eight (2015). Ironically, Morricone’s Thing score was nominated for a Razzie for worst score, while his score for Hateful Eight won him an Oscar.

  Risky Business

  £275.00

  “Joel had all the normal teenage fantasies…cars, girls, money. Then his parents left for a week, and all his fantasies came true.”

  In 1983 “Risky Business” was Paul Brickman’s stylish and intelligent film that redefined the teen angst comedy and created a new movie star in Tom Cruise. One of the most desirable of all the Tom Cruise titles the original 1983 UK quad movie poster offered here is presented in excellent condition with only very minimal handling wear. Originally rolled (as issued) it displays superbly with amazing graphics and bright  colours offset the dark unfaded black background. Fantastic imagery where you could be fooled in to thinking it was an advert for Porsche cars or Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and not the one of the defining teen movies of the 1980’s. A genuinely rare (in this high grade condition) piece of original highly collectable movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: The sunglasses Joel wears are the Ray-Ban Wayfarer model. Annual sales of Wayfarers were languishing as of 1983 but skyrocketed 2,000 percent after the movie’s release. This film and The Blues Brothers (1980) have contributed to the popularity of the Wayfarers since.
