  The Lost Boys

  £250.00

  “Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire.”

  Striking alternative movie poster for Joel Schumacher’s cult 1987 vampire classic “The Lost Boys”, featuring artwork by celebrated British illustrator Graham Humphreys.

  Humphreys is one of Britain’s most recognisable horror film illustrators, with a career spanning more than four decades. He became closely associated with the genre during the 1980s through his work for Palace Pictures, creating memorable British poster artwork for films including “The Evil Dead”, “Evil Dead II” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. Influenced by horror cinema and the visual energy of the British punk scene, Humphreys developed a distinctive painted style that has become particularly associated with the golden age of 1980s horror. Remarkably, he continues to produce his artwork using traditional paint on paper rather than digital illustration.

  For “The Lost Boys”, Humphreys’ wonderfully atmospheric composition brings together the film’s principal characters, with Kiefer Sutherland as David dominating the artwork in full vampire form, surrounded by Corey Haim, Jami Gertz and members of the vampire gang. The dark blue and blood-red palette perfectly captures the stylish gothic horror of the film, while the famous tagline, “Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire.”, appears across the top.

  This beautiful poster measures 24 x 36 inches and is hand-numbered 33/87 from the limited edition. It is rolled (as issued) and presented in excellent condition.

  A fantastic combination of one of the defining vampire films of the 1980s and the work of an artist whose imagery has become synonymous with British horror poster design…“Something I never could stomach about Santa Carla, all the damn vampires!”

  Trivia: In the cave of the Lost Boys, you can see a poster of Jim Morrison, who recorded the original version of “People are Strange” with The Doors. Also, when Star and Laddie are being carried into Sam’s room, you can see a poster of Echo & The Bunnymen, who recorded the version used in the movie.

  TRUE BLOOD

  £75.00

  “Do Bad Things…”

  With the growing popularity of online streaming and Viewing On Demand certain TV shows have achieved viewing figures that are comparable to major Hollywood films. Alan Ball’s “TRUE BLOOD” is one such TV show. Based on the best selling vampire novels of Charlaine Harris the HBO produced series proved incredibly popular running over 7 Seasons from 2008 – 2014. Introducing the viewer to vampires, werewolves, witches, goblins and fairies “TRUE BLOOD” was one of the most popular TV shows across the globe without a truly large and devoted fan base. Like the Movie studios, TV companies began treating their shows with similar advertising campaigns and posters and merchandising were produced to promote their most popular products. This is a rare example of the 201o US one sheet style TV poster used to promote Season 3 of “TRUE BLOOD”. Featuring a great ‘dark moody’ and very sexy cast shot it’s a fantastic looking piece and guaranteed original. Presented in excellent near mint rolled (as issued) condition it appears almost faultless and represents an investment grade example of desirable and collectable original TV memorabilia.

  What We Do in the Shadows

  £295.00

  “Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav are vampires who are struggling with the mundane aspects of modern life, like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.”

  A superb and eye-catching alternative movie poster by Graham Humphreys’ for the cult dark comedy horror “What We Do in the Shadows”. Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement.created the clever idea of a family of vampires living together under the same roof and the struggles they encounter in modern day life. Each vampire housemate bears some resemblance to a past screen vampire – Nosferatu, David (Lost Boys),  Dracula (Gary Oldman), Edward (Twilight zone) and Louis fromInterview With the Vampire. And it’s these five who feature on this 2015 Hand-Numbered (#AP 39/40) Artist Proof print that has also been signed by the artist – Graham Humphrey. Presented in excellent unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition with amazingly vibrant colour tones that truly pop from the paper (the photo doesn’t do this justice)it almost appears to be painted. A super-cool piece of cinematic memorabilia and artwork.

  Trivia: The hill where the vampires have a run-in with the werewolves is the same hill filmed in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), where Frodo and the hobbits are running from the Black Rider and hiding under the roots of a tree.
