From Graham Humphreys: “So, I thought he should remain this shadowy character, a silhouette with just the gloves and knives up front… he’s almost invisible there, like in the back of a dream, but then suddenly this hand is coming out. It’s suggesting that what she’s dreaming is actually becoming a reality. There’s a narrative threat going on there.”

Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) introduced Freddy Krueger, one of horror's most iconic villains, striking his victims through their dreams. Graham Humphreys, the artist behind the franchise's original UK poster art, returns to Elm Street with this rare private commission, a must-have for collectors of Humphreys' work and slasher horror history.
