    Stunning!

    Can’t help but thinking that the new editorial team with their background in Hammer Horror had a lot to do with this gorgeous homage to movie posters of 1957-74.

      Really who are they?

      has Marcus Hearn left?

    • Demdike@Cult Labs

      August 16th, 2022 - 11:15am

      Marcus is Hammer’s official historian, he produces documentaries on Hammer and British horror for Blu-ray – The StudioCanal Hammer releases extras are all produced by Hearn, DWM’s art editor Peri Godbold and contributing editor Alan Barnes.

      Hearn has been doing horror commentaries for years on dvd and Blu-ray.

      I say ‘new’. Hearn’s been on five years but Alan Barnes as contributing editor is quite recent.

      Yes, definitely a throwback to the Art of yesteryear.
      The Artwork definitely but especially the Typeography.

      Marcus’ editorial talks about the artwork being a homage to Hammer films.

    Blimey. That cover is startlingly beautiful. I wonder who the Artist is. A nice remunder that we get Snowmen DvD/Blu Ray in only 3 weeks. Less by the time we get this edition.
