Product description
Rick Baker won the first-ever Academy Award for Best Makeup for his groundbreaking practical effects seen in this film. This print captures the ferocity of the transformation with a close-up of the snarling creature, its yellowed teeth bared against a deep black background.
About 1980s film posters
1980s posters are known for painted adventure, neon sci-fi and video-store nostalgia. The best horror posters suggest the fear rather than show it, letting imagination do the rest. The original image dates from 1981. Horror has the boldest poster tradition in cinema, from Expressionist shadows to modern minimalism.
Styling this 1980s movie poster
Pink tones give this 1980s movie poster a vibrant character that holds a room. As a landscape piece, “An American Werewolf in London” fills the space above a bed or desk at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a dorm room. The pink palette of “An American Werewolf in London” sits softly with blush, cream and brass details; finish it with a simple black or oak frame. “An American Werewolf in London” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pink pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
