My heart pounds with excitement whenever I find out that Dark City Gallery is releasing another Dan Mumford horror movie print, so you'll have to excuse me if I suffer a heart attack mid post. Mumford has conquered The Thing, Evil Dead, The Fly and now he's moved on to John Carpenter's 1978 All Hallow's Eve classic, Halloween.

The first thing that struck me when I saw these, besides their oh-so-obvious beauty, was how different they were when compared to the previous three prints in Dan's horror movie poster series. Gone are the grotesquely mutated limbs and the turning-in-on-itself genetic monstrosities that made up Brundlefly's spliced physique, the Thing's human / canine mimicry gone wrong, and the inappropriate touching of Evil Dead's demonic timber. Instead, we're treated to a moment that's quiet and still, yet clearly full of dread. The artwork is 100% Dan Mumford, but it's a slightly different Dan Mumford than we've seen in posters past. I love both of these prints, and I'll definitely be getting the regular edition, if for no other reason than that it matches the color scheme of his previous three, but it seems the variant will feature plenty of unique extras to make it worth your while. And by that I mean an alternate colorway and metallic / glow in the dark inks. Finally, one of the things I enjoy most about these prints is something that doesn't necessarily jump out at you at first glance, and while I won't explicitly tell you what it is, I'll give you a hint: it's not made of cheese in this case. Too abstract? Alright. It's the moon. Look at the moon. What a nice touch!
Dan Mumford's "The Night He Came Home" prints is currently available through the Dark City Gallery website. Both prints will measure 23.25” x 31”, meaning they'll be much larger this his other horror movie posters, and will be signed and numbered by the artist. The regular version costs £35 (around $56) and is to be limited to 150, the glow in the dark variant will cost £50 (approximately $80) and be limited to 75. While you're deciding which one to purchase, I recommend checking out Dan Mumford's portfolio at dan-mumford.com and following him on Twitter @danmumforddraws. And you should probably visit Dark City Gallery at darkcitygallery.com, where you can still purchase all of Dan's cinematically inspired prints (though very few The Thing prints are left)! Oh yeah, and you should DEFINITELY watch Halloween. G'night!
