Chicago Center for The Print Presents "Movie Poster Memories" March 9 - April 15, 2018

Opening Reception Friday, March 9th 6-9PM

We present "Movie Poster Memories" in collaboration with Ray Ruggeri a local expert and film lover.

We are proud to present "Movie Posters Memories" in collaboration with Ray Ruggeri a local expert in the field of original movie posters and life long film lover. Ruggeri has collected original movie posters for 40 years & has a background in art history. The exhibition and sale featuring hundreds of original and vintage movie posters from around the world and spanning several decades. This is our 4th exhibition together.

"This exhibition features original movie posters, both foreign and domestic, highlighting many genres and spanning several decades. If Hollywood is the stuff which dreams are made of, then movie posters are their tangible counterparts," says Ruggeri.

These posters were created by unsung studio artists to capture a film's essence at a glance, to reflect the time, climate and society from which they sprang. Many of these memorable designs have remained long after their celluloid counterparts have faded. The most successful posters created the thrills, chills and excitement just as well as the films themselves.

Posters including movie posters were designed to be glued up in public places and thus destroyed by the weather or covered over by other posters. Today, however, they are considered true works of art. They reflect the changes in the visual arts. They belong to art history and thus are sought out by art lovers, poster collectors all over the world. Included in this show is a sampling of limited edition art prints created by movie poster artists of today for companies like Mondo.

Exhibition & sale runs through April 15th.

Death Waltz Recording Co., is proud to present the original motion picture score to THE VOID.

When police officer Carter discovers a blood-soaked man limping down a deserted road, he rushes him to a local hospital with a bare-bones night shift staff. As cloaked, cult-like figures surround the building, the patients and staff inside start to turn ravenously insane. Trying to protect the survivors, Carter leads them into the depths of the hospital where they discover a gateway to immense evil. Heavily influenced by Lovecraft lore and practical horror effects of such classics as John Carpenter’s THE THING. You can listen to the soundtrack courtesy of our friends Lakeshore Records who released it digitally.

The soundtrack is an ominous synth driven beast, genuinely unsettling and thrilling. Shape shifting from ambient to semi-industrial in the blink of an eye. This limited one-time pressing is housed in a laminated reflective jacket, and pressed on 180 gram "Drop in the Void" vinyl (blue, color-in-color) limited to 500 copies.

Mondo to Release HELLRAISER: Soundtrack, Poster & London Screening

MONDO announced their plans today to release the vinyl soundtrack and striking new poster for HELLRAISER in celebration of the film's 30th Anniversary. These new releases will premiere at an anniversary screening at the Prince Charles Cinema in London on September 25th, where HELLRAISER showed audiences a nightmarish vision of the underworld at its first-ever screening 30 years ago! Additionally, Arrow Video will be releasing a new special anniversary edition Blu-ray SteelBook (featuring the same artwork) this fall! Check out all the details below.

​Hellraiser 30th Anniversary Edition Soundtrack. Remixed & remastered from the original 2 inch analog reel to reel sessions. Overseen and approved by composer Christopher Young. All new artwork by Matt Ryan Tobin.


"Even though the film was a low budget horror with a first-time director, HELLRAISER towers over just about every other horror score recorded in the '80s. Composer Christopher Young decided that instead of providing a typical '80s synth score, he would use a full orchestra to create a symphonic score that was epic is scope. It’s a phenomenal piece of work; huge strings, waltz-like time signatures, and suites that run from the ethereal to downright scary in a matter of moments. We are thrilled to be releasing HELLRAISER in congestion with Lakeshore Records for its 30th anniversary. This fully remastered sonic assault will tear your ears apart," said Mondo Record Label Manager Spencer Hickman.

Here's a breakdown of the different versions of the soundtrack and how you can get them:

Commenting on the anniversary screening, Prince Charles Cinema said “HELLRAISER had its first ever public screening here at The Prince Charles Cinema way back in September 1987; the owner of the cinema still talks about the packed, raucous, late-night screening that blew the roof off the place. When Mondo reached out to us about launching the soundtrack re-release in celebration of the film's 30th anniversary, we jumped at the chance to take part. And just when we thought the evening couldn’t get any better, Arrow Films came in with a 35mm print of the film in hand to make this a perfect night at the movies!"

Arrow Video will also be releasing HELLRAISER on Blu-ray this fall! It'll be available on October 30th, just in time for Halloween.

Here's what they had to say about the release: "With the anniversary of HELLRAISER just around the corner we’re all giddy with excitement here at Arrow, so when Mondo and the Prince Charles spoke to us about being involved in this event, there was only one answer, a big fat YES! The event at Prince Charles will be one of a kind and the perfect launch for Mondo’s soundtrack release. If all of that wasn’t enough to get fans salivating, we’re excited to be announcing another special HELLRAISER goody on the way from us… In conjunction with Mondo Artist Matt Ryan Tobin we have created a new special anniversary edition Blu-ray SteelBook which perfectly complements the vinyl re-issue, so now for the first time ever you’ll be able to see the film in the cinema from an original 35mm release print, hear the soundtrack on a newly remastered vinyl, and take the film home to enjoy again and again.”
