Graham immediately understood the essence of our film and painted an image that ripped up the traditions and threw the movie right in your face. I loved this poster! --Sam Raimi, director, producer, screenwriter, actor Graham Humphreys' art is at once beautiful and transformative. --Clive Barker, screenwriter and novelist How do I love Graham Humphreys's artistry? Let me count the ways. The genre of horror, because of its examination of things dark and strange, demands a certain theatricality in approach. And capturing the spirit and tone of a horror film in a single image such as a poster or DVD cover is especially challenging. Time and again Graham's masterful art work meets and exceeds that challenge. His illustrations are consistently vivid, energetic and always convey an uncanny sense of motion and emotion. Graham Humphreys is at the pinnacle of his craft and I am so honored to have been the subject of a number of his. --Jeffrey Combs, author, Re-Animator I've long been an admirer of Graham's wonderful artwork. For me, there's nothing that quite says HORROR like the queasy, lurid phantasms he conjures up with such wit, skill and imagination. I think I found The Evil Dead poster scarier than the film! --Mark Gatiss, actor, screenwriter and novelist
