A Unique Collaboration
How The Posters Came To Be
I had always envisioned "Escalation" as a story that would find itself perfectly at home in between the classic cautionary tales that became a staple of the legendary EC comics and their iconic "Tales From The Crypt" series. Thanks to Troy Escamilla, Director of the Houston Horror Film Festival I had the opportunity to meet Casey Booth, an amazing artist whose style has been deeply influenced exactly by EC comics. Once I saw his art it was love at first sight and a new collaboration was born as "Escalation" finally found its most iconic visual representation in a poster that showcased all the tension and gory fun of the film while still being able to avoid spoilers. The magic you find when you work with truly passionate artists that understand the core concept of a film and know exactly how to embody that in a drawing. Thanks to Casey finally "Escalation" got a brand new poster that got to meet the "Tales From The Crypt'' style it was meant for.
