“In his mind, he has the power to see the future. In his hands, he has the power to change it.”
Original UK Quad film poster for DavidCronberg’s 1983 sci-fi, horror, thriller “The Dead Zone”. Stephen King’s bestseller (his first to hit #1 and still one his most successful) is stylishly brought to the cinema screen by Cronenberg. Renowned for the more gory, body horror approach to film making, this is very much a clever and restrained adaption – and in my opinion is far better for it. Taking inspiration from one of the key scenes in the movie, British advertising agency FEREF have created an eye-catching design for the UK marketing campaign poster (imagery that is actually unique to the UK). Folded (as issued) this stunning example displays to excellent effect (probably unused). It represents a very high quality piece of Cinema memorabilia from a truly groundbreaking, influential film maker and the most successful American writer in history.
Trivia: This movie doesn’t explain the meaning of the phrase Dead Zone like the book does. Stephen King was going off old theories that people only use 10% of their brains, and that we haven’t even unlocked the secrets of the other 90%; and that when Johnny was in his coma his brain had to create new pathways to get around the paralyzed part of his mind. So new pathways were created in the Dead Zone, that 90% that people normally don’t use; and this enabled him to develop powers of ESP and second sight.

A truly influential horror classic…Tobe Hooper’s adaption of the Stephen King vampire novel “Salem’s Lot” was crying out for a sequel, sadly Larry Cohen’s 1987 offering “A Return to Salem’s Lot” isn’t a patch on the original. Yes, the movie had a brief cinematic release of about a week before hitting the video stores. What it does have going for it is an incredible (if slightly mis-leading) horror poster to promote it. Adapting the unmistakable lettering from ‘Salem’s Lot’ with an image of the main vampire antagonist, Kurt Barlow (he doesn’t feature in the sequel). This original 1987 British video film features great horror imagery featuring Barlow towering over the town of Jerusalem’s Lot. If you are a fan of the King novel and the horror genre this is an extremely desirable and very rare poster. In excellent unrestored condition this rolled (as issued) example presents & displays to superb effect and represents an exciting and scarce item of original horror film movie memorabilia.
Trivia: A rare instance in which a successful TV miniseries was followed up by a theatrically-released sequel.

A truly influential horror classic…Tobe Hooper’s adaption of the Stephen King vampire novel “Salem’s Lot”. This original 1981 (first year of release in Japan) Japan B2 film poster features great great horror imagery and often referred to as the “montage style” featuring the evil vampire Kurt Barlow over shadowing the vampire hunters including David Soul. “Salem’s Lot” originally aired in the USA as a 2-night mini-series with the first episode airing on November 17, 1979 and the second episode airing the following week on November 24, 1979. It was the first television mini-series (and the second film) to be based on the writings of author Stephen King and was a huge ratings success with word of mouth (the social media of the 80’s) creating the popular need for cinematic releases worldwide. Unique Japanese design and with no US or British big screen theatre release this is an extremely desirable and very rare film poster. In excellent unrestored condition this tri-folded (as issued) example presents & displays to superb effect and represents an exciting and scarce country unique piece of original horror film movie memorabilia.
Trivia: The biggest issue that divides fans of the novel and miniseries is the fact that Barlow is depicted as a hissing Nosferatu-like monster in the adaptation, as opposed to the speaking Dracula-like character of the novel. In an interview with Richard Kobritz he said the decision to go with the terrifying monster figure came out of concerns that a speaking, romanticized villain just wouldn’t be frightening enough, especially as John Badham‘s remake of Dracula (1979) starring Frank Langella was released in 1979. Stephen King was against the change at first, but after he saw the footage, he thought it may help the audience focus more on the main characters.

“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.
