hey folks!
could someone help me? where do you think the drawings and pictures that are showed at the beginning of the movie are credited? there is a drawing that i liked really much but i don't know who is the artist and what title it has.
thank you very much!
Imeka, it has been almost 2 months since you asked this and this might be a long shot, but I do know one of the paintings was called The Nightmare and I forget the artist at the moment. Nightmare is the one of the horse and the demon (an incubus) looking at a sleeping girl. I don't know how much that helped.

thank you very much, suntzu....! but i found out that the picture i was searching for is from Max Ernst's surrealictic novel "Une semaine de bonté", as a lot of other pictures are as well.
shareI don't know if this would be of any help (if not, I'm just commenting), but some of those pictures from the beginning are also shown in the movie "They".
“Tragedy is when you cut your finger. Comedy is when I fall down a manhole and die.”
-Mel Brooks
You screwed up the quote. It is "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when
you fall in an open sewer and die." The whole point is that things are funny when they aren't happening to you. Nice try though.
Thanks for your question and answer. I looked up Max Ernst and liked the pictures. I bought "Une Semaine De Bonte"
shareFor me they were the scariest part of the film!
"Don't dream it. Be it"
The first picture presented when the book opens is an illustration of Gustave Dore, published in 1847 for Dante's Divine Comedy.
The next one (that of two vampires kissing) is an illustration of Max Ernst for the novel Une Semaine de Bonte.
What follows is Henry Fuselli's Nightmare (the one with the horse and the sleeping woman and that goblin on her).
A think there is also a portrait of Vlad Tepes, because that picture brings him in my mind.
To help more, in the ending credits, it says:
