The golden days of the film poster are often remembered in print and at the auction house but the newsprint adverts for film are a vanishing breed. Historian, Paul Sutton, believes that the print ads themselves are art. In this pioneering collection, he presents and preserves 350 rare black-and-white horror film adverts from England, America, France, Germany, Italy and Mexico. The adverts tell a history of the horror film, from the silent cinema of Germany and the Hammer Horrors of England, through to Italian Zombies and Ridley Scott’s Alien.
