  A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 5 – The Dream Child

  £225.00

  “Now Freddy’s A Daddy, He’s Killing For Two.”

  Graham Humphreys has once again produced a stunning piece of artwork for the fifth film in the iconic horror series “A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 5 – The Dream Child”. The now instantly recognisable Freddy Krueger is depicted with his razor bladed glove clawing his way out of the poster, his red, fire-scarred visage contrasted against the mid-blue background of the poster’s background. Each instalment has its own unique tagline with this one a perfectly in tune to the movie’s storyline  – Freddie’s Giving Birth to a Brand New Nightmare. Setting a high bench mark for modern horror artwork Humphreys’ imagery was only used for the UK quad design and is one of the most sought after film posters of the 80’s and the horror genre. Graham Humpreys has been dubbed England’s greatest living horror artist and it’s not hard to see why when you see this beautiful film poster from first year of release 1989. Totally original and unrestored, this rolled (as issued) example is presented in excellent condition. Extremely scarce and a must have for the serious collector it represents a fantastic item of horror movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Before the script was written, author Stephen King was approached to write the screenplay for this film but declined. This film is heavily referenced in IT (2017), an adaptation based off of one of King’s well known novels.

  Predator 2

  £325.00

  “Ten years ago one of his kind stalked and eliminated an elite special forces crew in central America. There were two survivors. They indicated that when trapped, the creature activated a self-destruct device that destroyed enough rainforest to cover 300 city blocks. Remarkable weaponry. That’s right lieutenant. Other-world life-forms.”

  The success of “Predator” when released in 1987 meant a sequel was always inevitable, however the action hero of the first movie wasn’t available – move over Arnie and welcome Danny Glover. Not only was there a new direction for the hero but the jungles of South America were swapped for a crime ridden Los Angeles. A clever follow up in many ways as it really does continue where the first movie finished as the Government, now fully aware of an other worldly being try to turn the tables and trap a predator – bad move. This 2021 Private Commission by Juan Carlos Ruiz Burgos features spectacular artwork, and is actually the first time a licensed print for “Predator 2” has been issued, and frankly it would be a hard to find a better one as Burgos really has created something special. Titled ‘The Concrete Jungle‘ it is printed on Cougar White paper using fifteen (15) coloured inks which includes a glitter varnish used to mimic the wet skin of the Predator and a bright luminous green glow in the dark ink for the title. Hand-numbered #45 from a print run 110 this beautiful example displays and presents to excellent effect and represents an incredible looking piece of modern cinematic memorabilia.

  Trivia: Keyes (Gary Busey) is the first character to ever use the word “predator” to refer to the creature on-screen when he says “we’ve prepared a trap for this predator”. The word “predators” is also used by Isabelle in Predators (2010), but she uses it to refer to the human characters in the film, not the Predator creatures. It wasn’t until The Predator (2018) that the creature itself is referred to as ‘predator’ again, with someone adding that the term ‘hunter’ would be more appropriate.
