Like every other horror fan on the planet, I love a good John Carpenter flick. And last year artist Matt Ferguson and Vice Press worked on the release of brand new 4k restorations of four Carpenter flicks, including THE FOG, THEY LIVE, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and PRINCE OF DARKNESS. As part of the release, each film was screened in cinemas across the U.K and featured brand new theatrical posters designed and illustrated by Ferguson.
And today we have word that Vice Press and Grey Matter Art will be releasing the series of Limited Edition posters by Ferguson for Carpenter’s THE FOG, THEY LIVE, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and PRINCE OF DARKNESS in Classic Cinema Quad Sizing! Yes, for one week only, starting today, Vice and Grey Matter, will be giving collectors the opportunity to purchase these posters in their classic cinema quad sizes, a huge 40×30 inches.
Artist Matt Ferguson:
Last year I had the distinct pleasure of being hired by StudioCanal to work on the 4K John Carpenter classics. I conceptualized and made all of the key art for the films. It was a dream job for me and I am really happy the art came out pretty much exactly as I intended. My ideal versions of the art are the UK quad size, it's the way the art was intended to be viewed and also my personal favorite dimensions for movie posters, so I am really happy that we are getting to make these available to people."
Each poster will retail for $60 or all four can be purchased as a set for $180. Each print will be signed and numbered by the artist and the total size of the edition will be based on the number of posters ordered during this period. As a special bonus, customers ordering the full set will also receive a bonus, never before released mini print.
