I have a thing for old movie posters. Especially horror movie posters. For the most part, they’re beautifully drawn, in an era before Photoshop and Illustrator existed. Couple that with the dark humour to make you chuckle while giving you a cold chill, and what else more could you possibly need? It’s no wonder why many brands tend to be “inspired” by these works of art. Thanks to WellMedicated, you can browse through 100 old illustrated horror movie posters.

Check out the first part here, and the second here.

Mr. Cartoon’s and Estevan Oriol’s creative agency, SA Studios Global was selected to create the film poster for Righteous Kill. As part of the projects surrounding the film, Cartoon and Oriol recently opened a series of four distinct retail locations in the Skid Row area of Downtown Los Angeles, including a pop up store that features a rotating theme of unique fashion and art concepts for short periods of time. Beginning this Thursday, the pop up space will be transformed into a tribute to film legends Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

The pop up space will become the exclusive promotional headquarters for Righteous Kill and feature a tribute to the film’s stars. Highlights of the space include a customized movie poster wall of all of De Niro and Pacino’s films and plasma screens throughout the room showcasing Oriol and Cartoon’s favourite scenes from Pacino and De Niro’s film repertoire.

In celebration of the film, SA Studios Global has also collaborated with Upper Playground to create limited edition Righteous Kill tees.

Adam Yauch (aka MCA), one third of the Beastie Boys, launched his own film production company earlier this year under the name Oscilloscope Pictures. Their first release is Gunnin’ for that #1 Spot, which follows eight high school ballers (they are currently in the NCAA) as they make their way to The Elite 24.
