  • The Omen Alternative Movie Poster

    The Omen

    £195.00

    “Mysterious deaths surround an American ambassador. Could the child that he is raising actually be the Antichrist? The Devil’s own son?”

    With artwork by Timothy Pittides this limited edition alternative movie poster for Richard Donner’s 1976 horror classic “The Omen” is an impressive example of horror art that truly evokes the mystique and symbolism surrounding the movie with the artist having this to say about the commission – “When Rob Jones first approached me about THE OMEN, my brain went in a million different directions. Any time I consider a licensed property, my first thought is ‘How do I do this in a way that is unique in concept, and to me? The film is littered with memorable visuals, many of which propel it beyond its genre, and into the realm of pop culture consciousness. Ultimately, rather than recreating a literal scene, I wanted to portray something that occurs outside the frames of the film. Something sinister in nature with a hint of macabre beauty: Damien’s entrance into our world. This idea felt as natural as it did disturbing. Inking this beast of an image took close to 175 hours, and includes 55 colour layers done by hand. The artwork was rendered larger than I normally do to make sure all the dotwork stayed within correct proportions when elevated to poster size. It was tedious, but well worth it in the end”. From 2020 this hand-numbered example is #2 from a print run of only 100 and is presented rolled, flat and unfolded (as issued) and displays to excellent effect. A horror classic and a personal favourite movie with this art print an impressive item of cinematic movie memorabilia from one of the defining movie’s of the genre.

    Trivia: Harvey Stephens, as Damien, was largely chosen for this role from the way he attacked Richard Donner during auditions. Donner asked all the little boys to “come at him” as if they were attacking Katherine Thorn during the church wedding scene. Stephens screamed and clawed at Donner’s face, and kicked him in the groin during his act. Donner whipped the kid off him, ordered the kid’s blond hair dyed black and cast him as Damien.

  • War of the Worlds Alternative Movie Poster

    War of the Worlds

    £595.00

    “They came to CONQUER the EARTH !”

    The quintessential science fiction film; George Pal’s “War of the Worlds” – with original 1953 paper for the title some of the most sought after and expensive whenever it comes to market (that’s not very often). Re-released many times since its 1953 debut, and beautifully re-imagined here on this 2014 alternative movie poster by Stan and Vince. It’s a fantastic image using the ‘Flying Saucer’ artwork that was originally used on the 1953 Style B US half sheet poster as the Martian ‘Death Ray’ destroys the city. This hand-numbered (#5/150) fine art print has been printed using glow in the dark green inks for the title and flying saucer detailing. Originally rolled (as issued) it displays and presents to excellent effect. Immediately selling out on release in 2014 this is a very sought after and desirable item, that rarely comes to market and represents a fine example of rare and collectable sci-fi movie memorabilia from a true classic of the genre.

    The artists Stan and Vince had this to say about the commission – “Byron Haskin’s War of the Worlds was released 62 years ago, and even though we weren’t around at the time, this movie was made for us. We KNOW it! Byron Haskin had to know that his movie was to be aired decades later in front of our 80s teenage eyes, printing powerful, everlasting images in our brains. We’re pretty sure he also knew that Mondo was going to ask us to work on a poster for this movie! To recapture the taste and flavor of H.G. Well’s story put in those glorious fifties frames and make people hear the sizzling sound of the saucers’ deadly death rays.
    That’s the magic we wanted to have in this poster. We wanted to put viewers back in the theatre seats where they first saw the movie, in the frame with the hero as he watches the invaders coming into the city! We wanted this poster to feel the retro-style menace of the red planet.”

    Trivia: The estate of H.G. Wells was so pleased with the final production that it offered George Pal his choice of any other of Wells’ properties. Pal chose The Time Machine (1960).
