Original Scream 1 Movie Posters

Scream movie posters rank among the defining campaign materials of the 1990s horror revival — Wes Craven's 1996 Miramax slasher reinvented the genre with postmodern self-awareness, and its theatrical campaigns matched that wit. The Ghost Face mask, Drew Barrymore's opening-scene terror, and the film's reputation-preceding word of mouth produced one of the decade's most immediately recognisable poster images. The franchise single-handedly revived mainstream theatrical horror. Shop our Scream collection for original one-sheets and international formats. The US advance teaser featuring the phone and mask against black is the most sought-after format — spare, genuinely menacing, and designed to trade on suspense rather than star power. Final release versions added the cast and a more conventional horror-film layout, but the teaser remains the collector's choice. British quad and German A1 editions interpreted the material through their own design traditions. Scream 2 (1997) and Scream 3 (2000) followed with increasingly self-referential campaigns building on the first film's iconography. Original first-release materials from the 1996 theatrical run are now scarce in fine flat condition — the film's massive box-office success drove enormous initial print runs but equally enormous attrition through intensive theatrical use and folding. Any surviving examples in genuinely collector-grade condition attract immediate and competitive collector attention across all formats. Browse alongside our horror and thriller collections. All Film/Art Gallery movie posters and items are authenticated originals.
