The Blot was thrilled to learn that Mad Duck Posters will be releasing a new screen print by Kevin Tong today! Kevin never ceases to amaze me with what he can do with the medium of screen prints, and it’s been way too long since we’ve gotten a new print from him. Today’s release is the next poster in MDP’s Vincent Price Series, The Pit and the Pendulum!

Kevin Tong had this to say about the Vincent Price film, “1961’s The Pit And The Pendulum is a masterful film that is a once in a generation crossroads of talent in horror with Roger Corman directing Vincent Price in the film adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name. Like many low budget classic horror films, it uses creative ways to affect terror and in doing so, leaves a longer lasting mark in the minds of viewers.”

“Rewatching it recently to do this poster, my biggest takeaways were how much texture, shadows, and space were key players in delivering the aforementioned terror. Also, I love the opening credit scene. This is actually quite a colorful horror film. I wanted to instill all of that in this poster, using more drawing to create texture and using more darker and muted colors than I usually do to make the bright colors more eerie. the part I enjoyed drawing the most was the water.”
