This book contains examples from Hammett‘s personal collection of horror and sci-fi film posters that span the history of the genre and several essays cover the history of the film poster and the brain‘s response to fear. 🧛‍♂️

I could look at these posters all day, they're so eye-catching; wish we still lived in the age where they put a lot of thought and effort into selling movies at the theaters. 📽

A total pick for vintage horror fans! 🤘

vivastory Will def check this collection out. If you haven't seen it, I recommend the following collection of posters 3y

#TBRtemptation post 1! Recently released. This is book is so cool. Definitely for the coffee table during the Halloween season 😁. Some of the finest genre posters are shared from the massive collection of Metallica ease guitarist, Kirk Hammett. The book includes essays on the history of the film poster, how the brain responds to fear, and Hammett's contributions to the macabre. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
