Description
From the famous British movie production company, Hammer Films, notable for its revival of the Horror genre towards the end of the 1950s comes this super-rare example of a peak-period 1966 Movie Poster original painting by the company's favoured artist, Tom Chantrell.
With an image size measuring approximately 16" x 23.5", this is the uncensored painting that was presented to Hammer Films to spearhead its cinema front-of-house advertising campaign . Revisions on Chantrell's artwork were requested. The small vignettes, running along the bottom of the painting, were deemed too risqué (as one features a rape scene) and the figures of Rasputin and Sonia were reduced in size (and colour changed to green to complement the Monk's face at right) with new title lettering re-positioned to the upper left.
The changes for the censored poster release were executed by Chantrell utilizing re-sized stats taken directly from his original painting (see additional image of the printed version).
