The poster art has already made it onto a series of T-shirts and hoodies produced by Terror Threads; it’s a testament to the evocative imagery, not to mention the incredible buzz Death House has generated. I mean, seriously, can you think of another horror movie that’s had a clothing line before the film’s even been released?
Getting Sean to talk about himself is a bit like pulling teeth, but this has to do with his humility, his commitment to his craft, and the joy he gets collaborating with others.
Here’s a bit I was able to torture out of him!
“What can I say about myself? I’m an artist that does weird and unusual art which is heavily influenced by my nightmares, night terrors, and things that just pop in my head,” Kaen explains.
As for the poster, he was referred to Smith by iconic Scream Queen and Death House co-producer Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp, Victor Crowley), who saw his art online and knew his unique style would perfectly evoke the mood of the movie.
Sean’s art has allowed him to amass a loyal following, who he engages with almost daily in “Watch & Tweet” horror movie sessions. You can follow him on Facebook, Twitter, and his Official Website.
Though most of his pieces don’t have names, the first image below is a Dread Central Exclusive Reveal titled “Lost in Silence”. If you are interested in ordering prints or merchandise, follow the link above to Sean’s Official Website.
Death House arrives in limited theaters on February 23rd.
