{"product_id":"tales-from-the-crypt-1974-egyptian-film-poster","title":"Tales From The Crypt 1974 Egyptian Film Poster","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully atmospheric original Egyptian film poster for \u003cem\u003eTales from the Crypt\u003c\/em\u003e, the classic British horror anthology released in Egypt in the 1970s. With its vivid hand-painted imagery, screaming figures, looming skull and bold Arabic and English title treatment, this poster has a fantastically macabre energy. The design is colourful, theatrical and full of movement, perfectly capturing the lurid appeal of vintage horror cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1972, \u003cem\u003eTales from the Crypt\u003c\/em\u003e was produced by Amicus Productions, the British studio famous for its portmanteau horror films. Directed by Freddie Francis, the film presents a series of chilling morality tales in which visitors to a mysterious crypt encounter the sinister Crypt Keeper and are shown their grim futures. The cast includes Joan Collins, Peter Cushing, Ralph Richardson, Ian Hendry and Patrick Magee, making it a memorable example of early 1970s British horror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEgyptian film posters are especially prized for their distinctive hand-rendered artwork, bold colour palettes and dramatic layouts. Rather than simply reproducing standard international campaign imagery, Egyptian posters often gave foreign films a fresh local identity, with expressive illustration and strong Arabic lettering. This \u003cem\u003eTales from the Crypt\u003c\/em\u003e poster is a particularly striking example, using painterly faces, skeletal imagery and intense colour to create a piece that feels both folk-art-like and genuinely unsettling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage film poster is sized 27 1\/2 x 39 1\/4 inches. It will be sent rolled (unframed).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear: 1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoster Type: Egyptian Film Poster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt By:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRolled\/Folded\/Other: Folded\/Rolled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Near Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Details: Originally folded (as issued), but stored flat a long time so folds softened.
