Ghoulish Gary Pullin and Phantom City Creative's "Fright Nights" Gig Posters

It's become quite clear that those of us who don't live in or around Toronto are missing out on some pretty cool going-ons. Take, for example, "Fright Nights," an event co-sponsored by Rue Morgue and TIFF, but most importantly, headlined by Guillermo del Toro. Just imagine, five nights and five screenings of some of Guillermo's favorite horror films along with an introduction by the man himself. Sounds like a pretty great idea, right? It gets better. There's not one, but two different gig posters for the event, and they're available to everyone (for a price, of course)!

$40 - Limited to 100
"Fright Nights" Gig Poster (Variant)

12" x 36" - Signed and Numbered
$65 - Limited to 30

If you're a fan of del Toro, then this is simply a must own. The artists have not only managed to lovingly craft a wonderful portrait of one of the film world's most creative minds, but were also able to pay tribute to the five movies that played during the "Fright Nights" program. And for those wondering, the five films in question are: L'arcano incantatore, Black Sabbath, The Innocents, Cronos, and The Devil's Backbone. There are many, many things to like about these prints, but I think my favorite two elements are the cathedral setting and the incredibly detailed Cronos device. First, the setting. I love how these posters were designed as if the image was going to be immortalized in stained glass. The backdrop takes the idea of Guillermo del Toro as the patron saint of fantastical horror and movie loving, and really runs with it. Finally, we come to the incredibly detailed Cronos device, which in all honesty, is so beautiful, it could've had its own poster. Seriously, look at it!

The "Fright Nights" gig posters are currently available from Phantom City Creative AND Ghoulish Gary Pullin, through their respective storefronts. Both posters measure 12" x 36" and are signed and numbered. The regular edition costs $40 and is limited to 100, while the variant is limited to an edition of 30 and costs $65.
