UK distributor Metrodome has commissioned an exclusive piece of artwork to produce a limited edition print, by acclaimed horror designer Graham Humphreys to celebrate the film’s release on 17 April.

Graham Humphreys is a freelance illustrator and poster designer who has been working within the horror industry for more than thirty years, perhaps best remembered for his iconic artwork for the original UK releases of The Evil Dead and Nightmare On Elm Street as well as his original artwork for the annual FrightFest horror festival.

Still working in a traditional paint medium, Graham continues to work within the genre he loves. http://grahamhumphreys.com/vault.html

Halloween this year will see the publication of a book of Graham’s horror art, entitled ‘Graham Humphreys: Drawing Blood’. The launch will be supported by an exhibition at The Proud Gallery, London.

Graham’s approach to The Town That Dreaded Sundown plays on the film’s retro vibes with nods to both the 70s cult classic of the same name and the 40s true life crime spree on which the story took inspiration from.

PRAISE FOR GRAHAM HUMPHREY’S WORK

“Graham immediately understood the essence of The Evil Dead and painted an image that ripped up traditions and threw the movie right in your face” Sam Raimi

“I’ve long been an admirer of Graham’s wonderful artwork. For me, there’s nothing that quite says HORROR like the queasy, lurid phantasms he conjures up with such wit, skill and imagination.” Mark Gatiss

“Not since the late, great Tom Chantrell who gave Hammer Horror its signature front-of-house look has there been anyone to match such effortless expertise.” Alan Jones – FrightFest
