The Changeling (1980) Original UK Quad Poster – First Release Horror Film Artwork
A haunting cornerstone of supernatural horror, presented here in its true first-release UK Quad format.
Few horror posters from the 1980s capture dread as elegantly as The Changeling. Designed around the film’s now-iconic imagery — the silhouetted child, the abandoned wheelchair, and the stark monochrome palette — this poster distils the film’s slow-burn terror into a single unforgettable sheet. Issued by Rank Film Distributors for the film’s British theatrical run in 1980, this is the genuine first-issue UK Quad, printed by Broomwell Reprographics, and sized to the standard 30 x 40 inches.
The artwork is powerful by understatement: the eerie stillness of the cobweb-draped wheelchair, offset by the ghostly silhouette, instantly evokes the film’s themes of grief, haunting, and unresolved trauma. For collectors of supernatural cinema, this title is now firmly regarded as a genre essential — and original quads survive in far fewer numbers than many contemporaries.

One of the most sought-after supernatural horror posters of the 1980s.
Early UK quads are notably scarcer than US one-sheets for this title.
Highly desirable due to the minimalist, evocative design — often described as “the thinking collector’s horror poster.”
Increasingly hard to source in clean, unrestored condition.
