Food Of the Gods Poster

UK Quad cinema poster for horror-scifi film "Food Of The Gods" (1976).

This is a superb poster by leading poster artist, Tom Chantrell. Here Chantrell has used a design that harks back to the B-movie horror film posters of the 1950's. The film clearly was set in this genre, telling the story of a strange substance that turns creatures into huge man eating monsters! (the film was loosely based on an HG Wells novel). Showing his dedication to his art, Chantrell actually visited a farm in order to take photos of a cockerel to ensure that his illustration was accurate (giant rats were more evident in the film than the cockerel shown but Chantrell rightly deduced that images of large rats might deter the paying public!).

The image of the distressed lady (a la Fay Wray from "King Kong") was a stock pose that Chantrell frequently used in his poster designs ie "Quatermass & The Pitt" (1967) - image courtesy of ewbanks.

Poster folded as issued & with tiny paper loss to upper right white rim but overall in excellent condition.
