Face the embodiment of ultimate evil with the Ultimate Guide to The Omen from 1976. This lavish full colour horror movie magazine explores the movie’s development and production, the shocking results, and the undisputed place it holds in cinema’s pantheon. A collection of powerful performances from its cast, coupled with strong direction from Richard Donner as he brought David Seltzer’s provocative story to life, turned the tale of Damien – welcomed into the Thorn family in a well-meaning act of deceit – into one of the most haunting and unsettling motion pictures of all time. Our Ultimate Guide to The Omen is a perfect companion to another journey into this terrifying world of satanic conspiracy, with a wealth of information and our signature beautiful stills creating a stunning tribute to this harrowing slice of movie magic.

The idea that the Antichrist could walk the earth as a young child, protected by corrupted adults, is a simple yet undeniably horrible one, and our Omen 1976 movie guide magazine shows you the many ways in which The Omen took this concept to its limit. This beautiful glossy magazine is packed with detail on how producer Harvey Bernhard, writer Seltzer and director Donner crafted a movie that addresses one of the worst fears of any person with a faith – what if the evil you fear is right here, incarnate in flesh and blood? The team behind the movie crafted a compelling mystery, accessible to the faithful and secular alike, and filled it with enduring images that for many film fans have become the quintessential cinematic moments of unholy evil.

Through a series of engaging, informative articles, written in our inimitably accessible style and filled with details, the Ultimate Guide to The Omen examines the journey taken by the film from David Seltzer’s screenplay through to the beloved motion picture we know today. We look at the evolution of the story, its themes and concepts, its cultural context in a changing world, and its enduring legacy in the form of sequels and remakes. This plethora of information makes the Ultimate Guide to The Omen more than a simple movie magazine: this is an essential resource for any fan of the film.

Each page of this magazine guide to The Omen is designed to provide a clean and unfussy reading experience, taking inspiration from the movie’s stark imagery yet remaining clean and timeless. Printed to A4 size (210mm x 297mm), this Omen 1976 movie guide boasts a luxurious glossy outer cover, while the inner pages are printed on fine silk stock that gives each printed word and image a subtle sheen. This is a guide to The Omen the likes of which you’ve never seen.

As well as the movie itself, this guide to The Omen has a wealth of information about the people who brought the story of the Thorn family to the screen. Biography articles introduce stars Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, Billie Whitelaw, David Warner and Patrick Troughton – not to mention Harvey Stephens, whose work as Damien gave the world one of the all-time creepy movie kids, and many other members of the cast. You’ll also find information on director Donner, writer Seltzer, composer Jerry Goldsmith and a number of other key figures in the team who worked behind the cameras to create this piece of macabre magic. These fact-packed biographies are another reason why The Omen 1976 Ultimate Guide is a must-have for your collection.

No Omen movie magazine would be complete without plenty of stills, and the Ultimate Guide to The Omen has you covered here too. Classic Monsters stills are renowned for their quality and clarity, and this title is no exception. Each image is carefully restored and enhanced to look its absolute best, giving you the best possible view of the evil conspiracy surrounding Damien and the work of those who try to stop him. Our use of full colour print processes ensures that even black and white stills are striking and punchy, a world away from lifeless traditional monochrome printing.

It’s always busy in the Thorn household, especially now little Damien’s growing up and racing about on his tricycle. I don’t know where the previous nanny went – presumably she’s hanging around somewhere – but this new lady seems like she’ll bring things under control. Let’s find a quiet spot away from all the hustle and bustle of family life, and enjoy the Ultimate Guide to The Omen. Maybe later we could go for a walk with that big dog that keeps coming to the house, or perhaps we could go to the safari park instead – I’m sure it would be a scream…
