CHILLS! THRILLS!! FEAR!!!

A Hitchcock Retrospective
~~ Click on the image for poster size! ~~

Hello Pulp Friends,

Since I am up to my eyeballs working on 2 full books this month (and a few covers and illustrations as a side ;)), I hope it's cool with you all if I repost a couple of recent fake movie posters I did for Comic Twart, just in case there are a few Pulp friends here who don't follow that blog and might have missed these.

"WHO SHOT THE CHIEF" A Doom Patrol Murder Mystery
DOOM PATROL: Who Shot The Chief?
~~ Click on the image for poster size! ~~

The classic "whodunit" with a murder in an isolated mansion and only a small cast of possible murderers, a few suspects who each had a possible reason to kill the victim. That's right up Hitchcock's alley and would be cool to have the Doom Patrol crew as cast.

I think they are some of my best movie posters yet, but maybe I am biased with my own work, so I'll leave you the last word. :)
Cheers,
Francesco

31 Days of Halloween: Psycho
~~ Click on the image for biggie ~~

Hello Pulp Friends

The scary violins of Bernard Herrmann’s soundtrack introduces you to today feature "PSYCHO"!
I don't need to add anything else, do I? ;) Enjoy! :)

Psycho
USA, 1960
directed by Alfred Hitchcock
starring: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, Janet Leigh, John Gavin

Fleeing the city after stealing money from her company, the beautiful protagonist stops in a motel that she will not leave alive. The sister and her fiancee will investigate. The shower murder scene is part of movie history. The horror here is not supernatural, but instead is generated by madness.


Cheers,
Francesco
