If you’ve been a good little boy or girl this year, Santa might bring you The Art of Hammer: The Official Poster Collection From the Archive of Hammer Films. This book is a must have for any fan of vintage horror films and movie posters.
Synopsis:
Hammer is almost as well known for the way it promoted its films as for the films themselves. The legendary British production company supported each new release with eye-catching posters that have become classics of their kind. This is the first collection of these iconic posters, with nearly 300 examples drawn from Hammers own archive, and private collections worldwide. Some are well remembered, most are extremely rare. The Art of Hammer is a testament to the companys pioneering mastery of film promotion, and a celebration of movie art at its best.

Hell yes! It’s hard to say which I like better, the Hammer films or their posters. The films can be a bit unbearable at times… most of the time… 🙂
Agreed. I’d take the posters any day!
