Product description
Originally released as Universal’s first 3D motion picture, the it came from outer space artwork captures the sensationalism of 1950s science fiction. The composition is dominated by a massive, bloodshot alien eye peering through a portal, framed by the panicked expressions of Richard Carlson and Barbara Rush below.
About sci-fi horror
Sci-fi horror combines the wonder of space with the dread of the unknown. Space art captures planets, nebulae and the scale of the cosmos. 1950s posters brought widescreen epics, sci-fi monsters and the first graphic designs by Saul Bass. The original dates from 1953.
Styling this sci-fi horror poster
This sci-fi horror poster pairs a vibrant atmosphere with a yellow palette that is easy to build a room around. In a dorm room, “It Came From Outer Space” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. Finish “It Came From Outer Space” with a slim walnut or black frame: its yellow palette warms up grey or white walls and suits natural wood and brass accents.
