Our expert's notes

British Quad (30" x 40")
Very Fine+ on Linen, Full-Bleed; Artist Graham Humphreys
Palace Pictures, 1985

This is a scarce and beautiful British quad for A Nightmare on Elm Street, featuring the artwork of Graham Humphrey depicting Heather Langenkamp sleeping as a silhouetted Freddy Krueger, with his trademark glove extended outward, prepares to haunt her nightmares.

The poster has been conserved on linen and has only the most minimal fold line touch-up and tiny bits of repair for pinholes.

Unleashed on audiences at a time when more formulaic outings from Michael Myers to Jason Voorhees dominated horror movies in the U.S., Wes Craven introduced the world to Freddy Kreuger in 1984 with A Nightmare on Elm Street. This fantasy-laced slasher movie would help alter the course of horror cinema. The film's massive commercial success saves New Line Cinema from financial ruin. The series' entries would continue to be some of the company's highest earners throughout the 1980s.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
