Mondo's Cronos & Devil's Backbone Prints

Oh man. If I only loved ramen noodles more, I could save every extra penny and wallpaper my apartment with Mondo prints. I'd be skinny like Christian Bale in The Machinist...but oh so happy.

About CRONOS:
"Guillermo del Toro made an auspicious and audacious feature debut withCronos, a highly unorthodox tale about the seductiveness of the idea of immortality. Kindly antiques dealer Jesús Gris (Federico Luppi) happens upon an ancient golden device in the shape of a scarab, and soon finds himself the possessor and victim of its sinister, addictive powers, as well as the target of a mysterious American named Angel (a delightfully crude and deranged Ron Perlman). Featuring marvelous special makeup effects and the haunting imagery for which del Toro has become world-renowned, Cronos is a dark, visually rich, and emotionally captivating fantasy."
Artist: Mike Mignola - Edition Size: 185 - Size: 18 x 24" - Price: $45

About THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE:
"One of the most personal films by Guillermo del Toro, The Devil's Backbone is also among his most frightening and emotionally layered. Set during the final week of the Spanish Civil War, it tells the tale of a twelve-year-old boy who, after his freedom-fighting father is killed, is sent to a haunted rural orphanage full of terrible secrets. Del Toro expertly combines gothic ghost story, murder mystery, and historical melodrama in a stylish mélange that, like his later Pan's Labyrinth, reminds us the scariest monsters are often the human ones."
Artist: Guy Davis - Edition Size: 210 - Size: 18 x 24" - Price: $45
