  Gremlins

  £95.00

  “Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous.”

  An excellent example for one of the best comedy horror films ever made…“Gremlins”. Written by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter, The Goonies) and directed by Joe Dante it was a huge box office hit. Re-released by Warner Bros. in 2019, recognising the fact that the movie has now become a classic ‘Christmas’ movie with Gizmo dressed in a Santa hat set against a Snow White background with the landscape format of the British UK quad perfectly suited to his design. Originally rolled (as issued) this 2019 film poster presents and displays very well. Totally original and unrestored this hard to find modern re-release of an important 80’s movie is becoming more and more sought after and represents a great collectable piece of original film movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Zach Galligan recounted in an interview that when the movie was made, there was no CGI, so all of the Gremlins were animatronics, each costing between $30,000-40,000 ($60,000-$90,500 adjusted for 2024 inflation). When everyone left the lot for the day, security would have everyone open the trunks of their cars to make sure they weren’t stolen.

  Gremlins

  £195.00

  “Don’t get him wet, keep him out of bright light, and never feed him after midnight.”

  An excellent rolled example for one of the best comedy horror films ever made…“Gremlins”. Written by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter, The Goonies) and directed by Joe Dante it was a huge box office hit. The global advertising poster campaign that accompanied the release was designed by Intralink Film Graphic with finished artwork by John Alvin. Alvin knows how to produce a blockbusting poster as his work on E.T. & Blade Runner demonstrate. His work for “Gremlins” doesn’t disappoint with a tantalising image of ‘Gizmo’ emerging from his box with a little hidden detail – if you look closely to the button fastening on the waistband of the jeans you will see the Ambling logo. The landscape format of the British UK quad is perfectly suited to Alvin’s artwork. Originally rolled (as issued) this 1984 film poster presents and displays superbly. Totally original and unrestored this hard to find example of an important 80’s poster is becoming more and more sought after and represents a great collectable piece of original film movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: This movie and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) are credited with inspiring the Motion Picture Association (MPA) to create the PG-13 rating. Many felt the movies were too violent for a PG rating, but not violent enough for an R.

  Silver Bullet

  £150.00

  “It started in May in a small town and every month after that whenever the moon is full… It came back.”

  An original, rolled 1985 US One Sheet movie poster for Stephen King’s werewolf horror romp “Silver Bullet”. The movie is just pure fun, one of those horror movies that relies on atmospheric tension and frightening monsters. The werewolf is pretty scary in this adaptation of Stephen King’s novella, “Cycle of the Werewolf”. 1980s teen star Corey Haim is just fine as a wheelchair-bound young boy who discovers there’s a werewolf in their midst—the townsfolk think the murders are the work of a psycho killer, but Corey and his sister Megan Follows convince Uncle Red (a cool Gary Busey) and they set off to find the identity of the werewolf. Everett McGill is fine as the creepy minister, and the whole movie works because it doesn’t take itself too seriously and it recognises that. Truly one of the better treatments of a King work and a fantastic example of high grade cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Tarker’s Mills, where the action takes place, is a fictional town within the Stephen King universe. It borders locations of other King’s works also adapted to film, such as Chester’s Mill (Under the Dome (2013)), Derry (It (1990)) and Castle Rock (Needful Things (1993), Cujo (1983) and Pet Sematary (1989)), among others.
