From the iconic "Casablanca" to Orson Welles's seminal "Citizen Kane", from the optimistic "It's a Wonderful Life" to the exotic "Thief of Baghdad", the films of the 1940s are recognized as some of the greatest of all time.

With its unique ability to bring our wildest fantasies to life, the cinema has done more than any other medium to popularize the science fiction genre throughout the world. From Metropolis to Godzilla and from Invaders From Mars to Star Wars, science fiction movies have peopled our universe, and others, with some of the studios'' coolest creations - including a vast range of aliens, robots, bug-eyed monsters and spaceships. Considering the visual richness of the subject matter, it is no wonder that successive generations of the most talented illustrators, painters, art directors and designers, all with imagination to spare, have signed on to produce posters for science fiction films. Their creations not only provide us with a record of how they and their contemporaries saw the future, they also serve as a visual running commentary on all that has happened in graphic design since Lumiere invented motion pictures. The images in this book, representing the creme de la creme of science fiction posters from artists in different countries and cultures, show what has been luring audiences into the cinema from 1902 to the present day.

A collection of movie posters, this book covers over 80 years of horror films and features the classics of the genre from early silents such as Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr Caligari to contemporary blockbusters like Silence of the Lambs. It shows just how rich is the tradition upon which movie-goers can draw for their nightmares.

This spectacular collection of posters, which spans eight decades of horror films, encompasses all the classics of the genrefrom early silents like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari to contemporary blockbusters like The Silence of the Lambs. Within a broadly chronological framework, the films are grouped by category: Universal Studios uniquely rich output, the creations of Britains Hammer films, Japanese horror flicks, spoofs like American Werewolf in London, serial killer movies, and more. Here, too, are the directors remembered wholly or partly for their contributions to the genre, including Roman Polanski (Repulsion and Rosemarys Baby) and Brian de Palma (Carrie). Horror, perhaps more than any other genre, offers the poster artist the opportunity to create an image that is both disturbing and memorable. The images in Horror Poster Art vividly demonstrate just how rich a tradition it is. Tony Nourmand is coowner of the Reel Poster Gallery in London and a poster consultant to Christies; Graham Marsh is a designer and art director. Together, they have also produced the companion to this volume, Science Fiction Poster Art, as well as Film Posters of the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.
