Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horror films often inadvertently became comedy films. Posters were almost be definition - misleading and 'over-the-top, but they often carried masterful illustrations where techniques and treatments were literally works of art. This collection of posters for horror films makes no judgement on the film quality, and concentrates on the artwork involved. Even when confronted with the most ludicrous stories, notably in earlier presentations, the creative artists worked wonders. Horror film presentations changed as technology improved, and plots moved moved more to the psychological and more removed from the physical. The selection reviews and reveals the development.

Download or read book It s Alive written by Daniel Finamore and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the world’s premier collections of horror and sci-fi movie posters amassed, not altogether surprisingly, by the dark mind of Metallica’s lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett. Before Kirk Hammett assumed the heavy metal mantle of one of the most successful and beloved bands in rock history, he was a geek for the imaginative universe of horror. This generously illustrated book highlights the finest examples from Hammett’s personal collection—an astonishing trove of horror and sci-fi film posters that span the history of the genre. The guitarist credits his musical force to a lifelong fascination with the gothic fantasy developed in these films and their original posters. In this volume, several intriguing essays cover the history of the film poster, the brain’s response to fear, and Hammett’s own contributions to the world of the macabre.

Download or read book Horror Poster Art written by Tony Nourmand and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This splendid, if scary, collection of movie posters covers over 80 years of horror films and features all the classics of the genre from early silents such as Nosferatu (illustrated here with a hitherto unpublished poster) or The Cabinet of Dr Caligari to contemporary blockbusters like Silence of the Lambs. Within a broadly chronological framework, the films are grouped by categories, such as Universal Studios' uniquely rich hoard of horror, the products of British horror specialists Hammer Films, Japanese horror movies, horror spoofs such as An American Werewolf in London, or serial killer movies. Also featured is the work of directors who are wholly or partly remembered for their contribution to the genre, like Roman Polanski (Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby), Alfred Hitchcock (The Birds and Psycho), David Cronenberg (The Fly) or Brian de Palma (Carrie and Sisters). Horror, perhaps more than any other genre, offers the poster artist the opportunity to create an image that is both disturbing and memorable, this book shows just how rich is the tradition upon which movie-goers can draw for their nightmares.
