Our expert's notes

With Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" (1980) breaking records at the American box-office, anticipation for the British release was at an all-time high so the studio's marketing people set about promoting the imminent UK release initially producing this Advance "Weekend Mirror" Teaser UK Quad film poster. A clever design that has been directly 'lifted' from the Daily Mirror tabloid newspaper who ran a double paged spread on "The terror that is sweeping through America". This unusual poster is a rare find and an inventive and striking marketing piece for one the most important and influential horror films ever made. The "Here's Johnny!" imagery is particularly striking in stark black and white. Unrestored and presented in very good folded (as issued) condition.
