Step into the outrageous world of one of the most infamous horror comedies ever made with this 5" x 25" theater-style mylar featuring the cult classic Dead-Alive!
Directed by Peter Jackson, Dead-Alive stars Timothy Balme, Diana Peñalver, and Elizabeth Moody in the wildly entertaining story of Lionel, a mild-mannered young man whose life takes a horrifying turn after his domineering mother is bitten by a mysterious Sumatran rat-monkey. What follows is an increasingly insane outbreak of zombies, gore, and absolute mayhem.
Originally released in 1992, Dead-Alive—also known as Braindead—quickly became legendary among horror fans for its outrageous practical effects, extreme gore, dark humor, and completely over-the-top finale. Long before The Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson established himself as a filmmaker willing to push the boundaries of practical horror filmmaking.
This striking theater-style design features the unforgettable close-up imagery of Lionel and the disturbing creature beneath the bold green DEAD-ALIVE title treatment. The unusual artwork perfectly captures the bizarre and gruesome personality of this beloved cult classic.
These long, narrow banners were traditionally displayed above the entrances to movie theater auditoriums and are a unique form of theatrical advertising. Their distinctive 5" x 25" format makes them especially appealing to movie memorabilia collectors and home theater enthusiasts.
Printed on flexible backlit material, this mylar can be displayed as-is or illuminated from behind for an impressive lightbox presentation.
