The Art of the Horror Film Press Advert

The golden days of the film poster are often remembered in print and at the auction house but the newsprint adverts for film are a vanishing breed. Historian, Paul Sutton, believes that the print ads themselves are art. In this pioneering collection, he presents and preserves 350 rare black-and-white horror film adverts from England, America, France, Germany, Italy and Mexico. The adverts tell a history of the horror film, from the silent cinema of Germany and the Hammer Horrors of England, through to Italian Zombies and Ridley Scott's Alien.
