ARTHUR SUYDAM COVERS THE GRAVES

Acclaimed Marvel Zombie Cover Illustrator Paints The Graves Movie Poster

 SCOTTSDALE, AZ. May 19, 2009 – Just in time for its bow at Cannes film market, Mischief Maker Studios and Ronalds Brothers Productions  proudly unveil The Graves  movie poster, painted by acclaimed Illustrator Arthur Suydam.

 “Arthur is in a league onto himself,” says The Graves writer/director, Brian Pulido. “He is a master draftsman who first came onto the comics scene in the 1970’s. His work on Cholly and Flytrap blew my mind and his contributions to Tarzan, Conan, Death Dealer, and of course his infamous Marvel Zombie covers solidified his place as one of the top illustrators on the planet. We are humbled by his contribution to The Graves.”

THE GRAVES Teaser Poster #8 of 8: REVEREND STOCKTON (TONY TODD)

The eighth teaser poster to debut featuring the main characters from the film.

Unity, Arizona is one of the toughest places to live in the world. The victim of numerous droughts, fires, floods, and sicknesses, it is understandable that the townspeople cling to their church, and the trusted words of their charismatic leader, Reverend Abraham Stockton. But Unity’s hardships have taken their toll on Stockton’s psyche. Some say he is a prophet. Some say he is insane. Others say he speaks directly to higher powers. Turns out, that all may be right.

Tony Todd, one of the horror genre’s greatest stars, gives a stirring performance as man, twisted by extreme hardships who is willing to sacrifice everything  to hold onto his power – and his sanity.

THE GRAVES TEASER POSTER #7 (OF 8) DEACON LUKE (D. RANDALL BLYTHE)

The seventh of eight teaser posters to debut featuring the main characters from the film.

 The Stockton family formed the Church of Devout Ascension under severe drought and hardship in the late 1800’s and it continues to this day, rejuvenated by the prosperity caused by the “Miracle at Skull City”. But not everyone in the flock is willing to make the sacrifice’s Reverend Stockton demands. That’s where Deacon Luke comes in: comply and all is well. Resist and die a horrible death.

 D. Randall Blythe (screamer, Lamb of God) is pure, unbridled rage as Reverend Stockton’s “enforcer”.

 The Graves stars Clare Grant (Masters of Horror), Jillian Murray (The Fun Park), Bill Moseley (The Devil's Rejects, Texas Chainsaw Massacre II), Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm St., Dexter), D. Randall Blythe (Screamer, Lamb of God), Shane Stevens, Patti Tindall (Death of a Ghost Hunter), Barbara Glover (Red Rock West), Calabrese and Tony Todd (24, Candyman).

 The Graves is written and directed by independent comic book legend Brian Pulido (Chaos! Comics, Lady Death, Evil Ernie) and produced by Mischief Maker Studios, Brian Ronalds and Dean Ronalds of Ronalds Brothers Productions (Netherbeast, Inc.). Production Design by Francisca Pulido. Director of Photography Adam Goldfine.

 

THE GRAVES TEASER POSTER #6 OF 8 CALEB (BILL MOSELEY)

The sixth of eight teaser posters to debut featuring the main characters from the flick.

Every town needs a handyman and Caleb (“Cookie” to his friends) is Unity’s finest. There’s nothing he can’t fix with his trusted tool box. But Caleb leads a secret life as the serial killer “Pig Man” that even the Unity townspeople don’t know about. Is Megan or Abby Graves the mate he’s been searching for or are they just the latest “runts”?

Bill Moseley, the Marlon Brando of the horror genre, is absolutely mind-melting as a cold-hearted, blue-eyed killer who takes sheer pleasure in his job.

TEASER POSTER #5 HELEN “MAMA” HEINBECKER (Barbara Glover)

When you head into Skull City Mine’s ticket shack, you can’t miss the ever-friendly Helen Heinbacker or “Mama” as the folks around Unity call her. It’s a peculiar moniker for a woman who has no family and professes to hate children. Don’t let her rotted smile fool you she’s a killer.

 Barbara Glower brings danger - and a bit of levity to Skull City’s knitting-needle wielding “greeter”.

 The Graves stars Clare Grant (Masters of Horror), Jillian Murray (The Fun Park), Bill Moseley (The Devil's Rejects, Texas Chainsaw Massacre II), Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm St., Dexter), D. Randall Blythe (Screamer, Lamb of God), Shane Stevens, Patti Tindall (Death of a Ghost Hunter), Barbara Glover (Red Rock West), Calabrese and Tony Todd (24, Candyman).
