Description:

This rare set of collectible phone cards features three vividly striking proofs related to Clive Barker's cult horror film "Lord of Illusions," produced by United Artists Pictures. Each card measures standard size and is bordered in red with subtle text overlays, prominently displaying the film’s title in a bold, stylized font. The haunting atmosphere of the movie—centered around magicians, dark rituals, and eldritch horror—is immediately conveyed through the choice of imagery and color palettes in these proofs. Marked with a $6 face value and clearly labeled as "PROOF" along with the issuance date, the cards function both as collectible art pieces and promotional memorabilia, honoring a film that seamlessly blends the mystique of illusionists with the dark lore of fantasy cinema.

The first card features a shirtless male character standing confidently in a moody, blue-toned setting that captures an aura of raw strength and enigmatic presence. The lighting accentuates his physique, creating sharp contrasts that evoke the film’s tension between reality and supernatural forces. Likely the protagonist, this character embodies the archetype of a mystical hero caught in arcane struggles. The design skillfully uses shadow and cool hues to draw viewers into the eerie, suspenseful world of magicians practicing dangerous arts. Small text at the bottom includes the film’s title and production credits, harmonizing visual elements with textual branding.

In contrast, the second proof offers a darker, more introspective mood, featuring a character partially obscured by shadows and smoke. This imagery underscores themes of mystery and hidden menace prevalent in Clive Barker’s storytelling style. The close-up focus on the figure’s intense gaze and subtle facial details, enveloped in shadowy tones, suggests internal conflict or an impending magical ritual. The tight framing invites viewers to peer into the uncanny depths of the film’s narrative, where illusions conceal deadly truths. The red border frames the image, with textual annotations reaffirming its status as a collectible proof and indicating the face value.

The third card immerses viewers in surreal horror through an abstract, fiery composition dominated by ominous eyes and ethereal shapes blending in warm orange and black hues. This design evokes a sense of dread and the supernatural, reflecting the film’s exploration of dark magicians and otherworldly entities that defy natural laws. The fusion of human features with fiery motifs symbolizes the duality of illusion and reality—central themes of "Lord of Illusions." The blank reverse proof card shown in the images highlights the unprinted side of these collectible cards, emphasizing their pristine condition and enhancing their appeal for collectors who appreciate cinematic horror art infused with fantasy, magic, and the macabre.
