The latest.

A French 1P for the movie, Die, Monster, Die (1965), with Karloff.

I always thought this art was kind of creepy, with Karloff's eyes being left pure white. And I like the color combo, too. The style of art of the "damsel in distress" at the bottom of the poster always reminded me a bit of the style done by Reynold Brown.

Very nice pick up Jeff!

Thanks, fellow horror collector.

Only half but rare as hell (dealer would charge like 3k euros for it)

Thanks, fellow horror collector. 

Nice going, Jeff! Who needs eyes when you have a cool hoodie?  Okie

[erik1925]

So funny you say that, okie, as I always thought Karloff was shown in a hoodie, too, on that artwork.

When he's actually peering thru a Gothic shaped window.

HA identifies the artwork (on posters they have sold of this movie) as being by Reynold Brown. I dont have a copy of that Brown book, or I would have checked there, too.

Jeff, I believe Reynold Brown did indeed create the artwork for that poster.  The movie, while not great, is a fun early adaptation of Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space.

Thanks, Ben.

I also saw the movie many years ago, as a kid (I barely remembered much of the storyline), so found a copy online that I began to watch again.

Not a great flick, as you mentioned, with it being typical AIP fare from back in the day, but Karloff is always a treat to watch.

Nice pick up, Erik. I think this is the last time Boris played a monster. Or at least his stuntman did.
"I've uttered no incantations! His secrets..........are buried with him......" Good ol' Boris.

Hi Jeff,  Yes, I saw the archway as well and looked again and there is a hoodie looking image that runs down the side of Karloff's face to his shoulder.  It's weirdly cool hoodie, shadow, archway terror!!!  Okie

I usually don't post my new acquisitions, but this is one I really like and it's going straight to the bedroom

A brick and stone hoodie..might be a new fashion statement, 53 years later.

If there was, Jeff, Karloff would be the man to rock it, eh?!  Okie

Creepy glowing mouth bedroom poster, T?! I'm scared to ask the name for that kind of kiss. Okie

That's a GREAT poster there, Erik!!!
Looks in great shape, too!

[erik1925]

Thanks, Ted.

Now to finally try and nail down if the art was actually done by Reynold Brown or not. Ive gotten and read differing info. I would assume that if he had done this poster art, it would be shown in that awesome Reynold Brown book.

[brude]

Yup.
If anyone has the Reynold Brown book, please look that baby up!
Always liked that design!

[Antoine1973]

Per Jeff's request, I checked my copy of the Reynold Brown book and the art for Die Monster, Die is in fact by that artist.  Here is the page where the US OS is reproduced.

[erik1925]

Thanks SO much Ben.

And the art of the French 1P that I posted earlier is the same art, simply enlarged. It's not a re-drawing (like was done for the Argentine OS).

I appreciate you taking the time to both look it up and post the reference photo.

Just a little larger:

Jeff, love the Karloff man. Great Addition!

T, gorgeous poster! I'm a big fan of some modern minimalist designs/designers that have come out in the past few years (Kellerhouse, Marauder Midnight, etc.) and this one fits in nicely. I might have to grab one myself.

all of his work is not pictured in the book, not even in the second edition

See more recent post above. This poster though, IS in that book.

I'm well aware of that. My comment was that all of his work is not in the book.

something that is also an important need, is a list of exactly which posters were done by who and what portions.
for instance, Brown did the CFTBL one sheet main art, but the poster also has a Kallis illo, as does the 3 sh
the wc & 6 sheet are by Kallis. Brown did one hs.

because no such list exists, many people think he did all the posters for the title and all the art on those posters, which is incorrect.

A list like that would be great. To help avoid confusion and also give credit, where credit was due, especially on pieces that had contributions done by more than one artist.
