More about this item:

An unusual piece of Chantrell artwork (14 1/2"x 21" overall) for the Tigon horror film "Death Is Child's Play" (1976).

The piece is in near "finished" condition but looks very different to the Quad which was originally printed (see: https://www.chantrellposter.com/Death-Is-Childs-Play-Chantrell-Quad-Poster-1976-Original/707). It is puzzling why only one part remains. It is possible that this design was ultimately deemed to be too gruesome & that Chantrell kept this element because he liked it, discarding the rest. Irrespective, a fine piece of horror poster illustration. The title design was obviously carried over to the printed Quad poster.

Artwork on Legion artboard & consists of a painted skull & lower rim, a paste-on photo-mechanical title strip & printed cast/credits strips.

NB. Given the size of this piece, a separate shipping quote will be required.
