A chilling collection of hand-painted artwork by Graham Humphreys featuring almost 150 new paintings. As home entertainment became increasingly popular during the Covid years, Graham found himself busier than ever. From DVD and Blu-ray reissues to soundtrack LP covers; and from reimaginings of cult movie posters to book jackets and private commissions, Graham's latest output is among his best yet, and much of it is presented here in all its gruesome, bloody, technicolour glory. The book's title is a nod to the definitive promotional artworks Graham created for the famous movie franchise A Nightmare on Elm Street.

'Graham's style is distinctive and ferociously original.' - Greg Nicotero, special effects make-up artist

'Graham is a master at bringing film to life in a poster.' - Rob Zombie, musican and film director

'For many "monster kids" like myself, Graham and his beautiful poster artwork is a direct link back to how we all became obsessed with horror and fantasy...' - Reece Shearsmith, English actor, The League of Gentlemen and Inside No. 9

Industry Reviews
"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
"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
"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
"One hundred seventy-six pages of iconic movie posters, illustrations and paintings . . . every work here deserves close inspection, and any fans of classic horror and sci-fi art will find loads to love. It's also great to see a contemporary artist resisting digital image creation and using the traditional medium of gouache to paint his images." -This is Cool on Hung, Drawn and Executed: The Art of Graham Humphreys
"Not only does this book showcase Graham's amazing body of work, it includes a step-by-step breakdown of his painting process, which makes it invaluable to any budding artist." --Wolfbait on Hung, Drawn and Executed: The Art of Graham Humphreys
"With his distinctive but always innovative style, Humphreys could quite comfortably be termed the British Drew Struzan. This is a beautifully-presented testament to his art and is an essential purchase for any genre fan." --Starburst on Hung, Drawn and Executed: The Art of Graham Humphreys
"Hung, Drawn and Executed is a fascinating and delightful peek behind the curtain of all too often woefully ignored facet of one of the world's most beloved genres." -- Mass Movement on Hung, Drawn and Executed: The Art of Graham Humphreys
"For over forty years Graham Humphreys has been a fixture on the UK horror scene as an artist and designer. Hung, Drawn, and Executed is a wonderful introduction to Humphreys' signature colourful style that is both instantly recognizable and utterly stunning." --Screen Anarchy on Hung, Drawn and Executed: The Art of Graham Humphreys
