Witches have become one of the staple monsters, and we think we know how they work. But these crafty crones have plenty of sinister magic up their sleeves, and the history of witch horror movies shows that you can’t make any assumptions. The wonderful artwork in the Witchcraft Postcard Set #1 offers a vibrant insight into the ways moviemakers have turned the concept of the witch into many kinds compelling cinematic stories. Paranoia abounds as the innocent fear for their safety, while the witches themselves use their unholy skills in all manner of mischief. Sometimes these tales are rooted in history and folklore; elsewhere, witch horror has taken place in the modern age and illustrated the conflict between ancient and modern. The many stories within the Witchcraft Postcard Set #1 beckon to the magically-attuned part of us all.

So many witch horror movies revolve around a lust for power. These are people with an unfair advantage over the rest of us, or so it seems – and you’ll find evidence of this power in the vivid, richly detailed artwork in the Witchcraft Postcard Set #1. Whether the setting is traditional or contemporary, and whatever the witches themselves are up to, these are movies that never fail to inspire us. Each card in the Witchcraft Postcard Set #1 is printed in vivid full colour, with the poster art meticulously restored to bring out the detail of the original design. The artwork is printed on robust 350gsm silk stock, with lustrous matt lamination on both sides adding further magic. There’s a vintage-styled design on the reverse with space for a name and address, giving you room to write a protective spell for a loved one – or something more vicious for an enemy, if the fancy takes you…

The Witchcraft Postcard Set #1 features artwork from the following movies:

• Häxan (1922): taking its inspiration from a 15th century guide for inquisitors, and blurring the line between documentary and horror fiction, this ambitious production was promoted with hauntingly beautiful poster art.
• Black Sunday (1960): Mario Bava’s witchcraft shocker is seen as one of the scariest movies of all time, and it’s not hard to see why. The shocking poster art is just the beginning of a movie experience that won’t leave you in a hurry.
• The City of the Dead (1960): the town of Whitewood is full of mist and horror, as a coven of witches works to keep its pact with the devil. Christopher Lee is at his evil best in a movie that distils centuries of evil into a moody, atmospheric chiller.
• Night of the Eagle (1962): who can you trust when magic is afoot? The poster art for this dramatic movie captures the sense of vulnerability and fear that makes a story of modern witchcraft so unsettling.
• The Witches (1966): Hammer’s take on witches’ activities made for terrifying viewing. The detailed, action-packed poster art brings the story’s many twists and turns to life. What’s going on in the village of Heddaby? Finding out is going to be a nightmare…
• Witchfinder General (1968): witches aren’t the only thing to worry about – the real evil here is meant to be on the side of good. Michael Reeves’ controversial, oppressive classic boasts a wealth of wonderful performances, not to mention truly apocalyptic poster art.
