After the acclaim artist Graham Humphreys’ earned after his outstanding work on the British marketing campaign for Wes Craven’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street” it came as no surprise that he was commissioned once again for the sequel “A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 2 – Freddy’s Revenge”. With the success of the character Freddy is no longer a horror character to keep hidden on the advertising material and Humphreys certainly doesn’t hold back as Krueger’s fire scarred visage takes up nearly all of the poster with his (now familiar) battered fedora and razor bladed glove included in the imagery. 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 1985. Totally original and unrestored, this rolled (as issued) example is presented in excellent condition with, unusually for a horror poster some incredibly bright colours. Extremely scarce and a must have for the serious collector it represents a fantastic item of horror movie memorabilia. The best I have ever offered for sale or seen – it really is exceptional and perfect for investment or to just enjoy.
Trivia: The original glove from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) was used in this movie and was also seen hanging on the wall of the work shed in Evil Dead II (1987). This was in response to the use of The Evil Dead (1981) on a television screen in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and part of a continued banter between directors Wes Craven and Sam Raimi. However, when Wes Craven loaned the glove to the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) set, it was lost but eventually found by a Freddy fan, Mike Becker, at an auction in 2009.

Graham Humphreys has once again produced a stunning piece of artwork for the fourth film in the iconic horror series “A Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 4 – The Dream Master”. The now instantly recognisable Freddy Krueger once again appears in silhouette (as the original British marketing campaign by Graham) and is a testament to how familiar the fanbase were with his character – the clawed glove, fedora and pose are now his trademark. His defining outline is offset against an amazingly colourful background with the ominous blood red tagline – Greetings From Hell.

Zombies, Nazis, stranded holiday makers and Peter Cushing…if this sounds like your kind of fun then you probably are a fan of Ken Wiederhorn’s enjoyable horror romp “Almost Human” (AKA Shock Waves). Nostalgic 70’s hokum that is complemented by a first rate film poster as the SS ‘Death Corps’ take centre stage in a great example of horror artwork…good use of bold day-glo colours in the title and striking well balanced design. Certainly a rare find and even more so in such excellent high grade condition. Originally rolled (as issued) this 1977 UK quad film poster is offered in superb unrestored condition and presents and displays to excellent effect and represents a rare piece of hugely collectable original 70’s horror movie memorabilia.
Trivia: The zombies weren’t originally supposed to be wearing goggles but when extra Max Trumpton returned from recent glaucoma surgery in protective eyewear the director liked the ‘look’ so much he instructed the wardrobe department to make a pair for each zombie.

A beautiful British Quad for Terrence Malick’s cinematic debut “Badlands” starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as the young couple on a killing spree across the ‘badlands of Montana’. This 2008 BFI (British Film Institute) re-release offering sees the original 1973 British artwork adapted to a full bleed image with no white border. It really works, resulting in a particularly powerful silhouette imagery.

Trivia: The film’s plot and lead characters are based on Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate. In 1958, they embarked on a murder spree that horrified the country.

Largely due to the “Star Wars” effect and the huge global popularity of the “Dungeons & Dragons” role playing game, the 1980’s truly was the decade of the mystical sword and sorcery fantasy. Don Coscarelli’s “Beastmaster” has stood the test of time well and is fondly remembered with a large and loyal fanbase. Boasting some of the best fantasy art seen on a movie poster by the advertising agency FEREF (Eddie Paul) with finished art byJosh Kirby this original 1982 UK quad for “Beastmaster” certainly impresses. Scarce and hard to find in this high grade condition, this originally folded (as issued) example looks fantastic and presents in exceptional condition that represents a fine piece of hugely collectable original 80’s sci-fi fantasy movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Director Don Coscarelli decided to set the story in a sort of Bronze Age milieu because he was a long time fan of Steve Reeves, Ray Harryhausen, and sword and sandal flicks.

“They told Jack Burton to go to hell…and that’s exactly where he’s going !”
A very COOL poster and a fantastic example of the supremely talented British film poster artist Brian Bysouth’s work. (Brilliant interview with Eddie Shannon Film on Paper). This original “Big Trouble in Little China” movie poster has it all; incredible graphics, great detail & amazing colours. It is very rare and one of the scarcest John Carpenter movie posters from the 80’s to find. The original UK quad movie poster offered here is from first year of release, 1986 and displays to excellent effect. Originally rolled (as issued) it is presented in incredible unrestored condition and is the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale.

Trivia: John Carpenter and Kurt Russell explain on the audio commentary that the test screening was so overwhelmingly positive, that both of them expected it to be a big hit. However, 20th Century Fox put little into promoting the movie, and it ended up being a box-office bomb. In addition, the film was released in the midst of the hype for Aliens (1986), which was released sixteen days afterwards. However, it went on to be a huge cult hit through home video. Carpenter and Russell explained that the reason the studio did little to promote the film, was because they simply didn’t know how to promote it.

“A ravishing PSYCHO-FIEND with the diabolical power to turn into a GIANT DEATHSHEAD VAMPIRE feasts on the BLOOD of her Lovers before clawing them to death!”
Blood Beast Terror (1968) was a Tony Tensor, Tigon Films release – a British studio providing real competition t0 Hammer, for so long the leading horror film producer in the UK. The British poster campaign was represented by a stunningly colourful UK quad, a mixture of illustration and photo montage, with some truly gruesome imagery. Presented unrestored and in excellent original folded (as issued) condition. A personal favourite of mine and a scarce example of British horror cinematic memorabilia.
Trivia: The stage play shown in the film echoes the story of notorious grave-robbers Burke and Hare. They would be the subject of Vernon Sewell‘s next film the following year.

Legendary creator Brian Clemens writes and directs this stylish, revisionist Hammer Horror – pitting a swashbuckling hero (Horst Janson), his hunchbacked assistant (John Cater) and a feisty gypsy (Caroline Munro) ingenue against a cunning and malevolent vampire. 2025 sees the cult classic “Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter” makings its worldwide debut as a brand-new 4K restoration from the original negative film elements. The release was accompanied (with certain orders) by a highly exclusive, limited-edition Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter poster, masterfully illustrated world-renowned artist and horror maestro Graham Humphreys. Limited to just 70 meticulously crafted copies with the official Hammer certificate accompanying this poster number #31. Although officially a print run of 70, the number of actual posters surviving in very good or better condition is much, much less due to issues with damage caused by shipping. This piece is the ultimate collector’s item, capturing the legendary vampire slayer and his full supporting cast in stunning detail and vibrant colour. Hammer horror memorabilia is always popular and desirable and this original rolled (as issued) special British full size (30′ x 40′) quad is no exception that displays to beautiful effect.
Trivia: Although no further movies of Kronos were made, his adventures were continued in two comic books published 40 years apart. “The House of Hammer #1-3” (October 1976-January 1977) and “Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter #1-4” (Titan Comics 2017).

“Charlie”, Malcolm Needs’ Brit-Gangster film loosely based on the life and times of notorious London gangster Charlie Richardson and his gang.

“PLEASE TRY NOT TO FAINT. Not recommended for people of nervous disposition.”
One of the best re-release posters you will see for a Hammer presentation for one of the most important films, Hammer made. Offered here is a beautiful British quad for the restored 4K 2025 re-release for “The Curse of Frankenstein”. Artist Greg Staples has excelled, himself and (in my opinion) produced the best artwork of his distinguished career – it really is exceptional with the photograph not doing it justice. A film poster with outstanding detailed artwork and use of colour; the green used on the title is particularly lurid, with incredible realistic likenesses of Lee, Cushing and the strong supporting cast. Released by Hammer for a very limited cinematic run that coincided with a newly remastered Blu Ray, this UK quad is from the cinema release and not one of the 200 limited release examples offered on Hammer’s website. It presents to excellent effect and is a must have Hammer Horror collectable.
Trivia: Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing‘s friendship was sparked when Lee stormed into Cushing’s dressing room, complaining that “I’ve got no lines!” Cushing kindly responded, “You’re lucky. I’ve read the script.”

“What Do You Say To A Talking Bomb? All Systems Snafu!!!”
A very striking poster for John Carpenter’s cinematic debut feature “Dark Star” and a fantastic example of the supremely talented film poster artist Tom Chantrell – a master at illustrating anything aeronautical, outer space and especially space ships. And it’s an amazing illustration, if what rather serious; unusual as the movie has a largely comedic tone. This original “Dark Star” movie poster has it all; incredible graphics, great detail & amazing colours. It is very rare and one of the scarcest movie posters from the early 1970’s to find. The original, first release 1974 UK quad movie poster offered here is from the personal collection of the artist himself – Tom Chantrell and is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity signed by the Curators of his archive; Shirley Chantrell and Mike Bloomfield. Originally rolled (as issued) it is presented in high grade unrestored condition. This genuinely rare cult classic represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of sci-fi cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Co-writer Dan O’Bannon later reused the “alien mascot” section of the film as the basis of a script he called ‘Star Beast’. Due to the low budget of “Dark Star,” the ‘alien’ was clearly a beach ball that could only be played for comedy, but O’Bannon felt that with a proper budget, the premise of an alien creature stalking the crew of a spaceship could work as a genuinely tense movie. As luck would have it, directors Alejandro Jodorowsky and Ridley Scott had both seen and liked “Dark Star,” and employed O’Bannon and designer Ron Cobb in projects that would finally lead to O’Bannon’s screenplay being filmed as Alien (1979).
