HORROR HOTEL
Original 1962 one-sheet poster.
I’ve been wanting one of this for some time now and finally got one just in time for Halloween! 🎃
Look at that genuinely creepy artwork from one of the best to ever do it: JACK DAVIS! 😍

Original poster showing the heads of several undead (zombies?) staring down at the viewer - it’s legit creepy!

This cartoon is by the guy that designed the DeLorean Time Machine, the Conan The Barbarian sword & title, several aliens in the cantina sequence in the first Star Wars, the guy who worked on ALIEN, DARK STAR, TOTAL RECALL, TRUE LIES, among many other movies. That guy, the legendary RON COBB!

Day 5. Faces of Universal Horror presents
THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US (1956)
directed by John Sherwood & starring Jeff Morris and Rex Reason. I know it gets some hate because of the pants but I thought it’s one of the strongest of the series story wise. #UniversalHorror #Day4 #FacesOfUniversalHorror

TRON [1982]
Not only the visual and SFX were way ahead of its time, but legends of art & illustration worked on it. Here some concept art from Syd Mead and Moebius and some behind the scene photos of Jeff Bridges & Cindy Morgan in costume.
