This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1984 for the first Japanese release of Gremlins (グレムリン), Joe Dante’s beloved horror-comedy produced by Steven Spielberg (Amblin). A perfect 1980s genre hybrid—cute turning to chaos—Gremlins became an instant pop-culture phenomenon, blending Christmas-season small-town warmth with anarchic creature mayhem.
Design
One of the most iconic campaign images of the decade, presented here in a striking Japan-market layout: a mysterious gift box is held in the arms of a figure, the lid cracked open to reveal small furry hands—and the glint of hidden eyes inside. The Japanese copy at the top (“’85 New Year’s gift from Spielberg”) signals the film’s prestige, while the bold katakana title 「グレムリン」 anchors the lower field in icy blue against the deep black background. Minimal, suspenseful, and instantly recognisable—an exceptional display piece for any 1980s film collection.
