Little Print Shop of Horrors reopens in aid of Huntington’s Disease Association
Get into the spooky spirit and bag yourself a unique illustrated Halloween print in support of the HDA.
With Halloween fast approaching, that can only mean one thing for Manchester-based creative agency Creative Spark – the return of Little Print Shop of Horrors!
This now infamous charity design challenge started as a way for the Creative Spark team to flex their collaborative and competitive muscles, and now also showcases the talents of illustration and print creatives from across the North West.
Each year they pick a ghoulish theme around which brand new, unique posters are designed and sold to raise funds for charity. This year’s theme is ‘Netflix and Kill’, with illustrators choosing an iconic box set TV series to reinvent with a creepy Halloween twist.
Each year Creative Spark donate all proceeds to a charity that has a personal connection to a member of their team. This year, business development director and partner Claire Critcher has chosen the Huntington’s Disease Association.

20 years ago my wife, Nicola, found out that her mum, Lynne, had been diagnosed with Huntington’s disease – a condition that had been part of their family for generations but had skipped four other siblings and found to have been inherited only by Lynne. Because of this, Nicola faced the same decision as her mum all those years ago, and made the choice to take the predictive genetic test that has famously been likened to the ‘flip of a coin’.
Huntington’s disease affects your body’s nervous system. Sometimes, symptoms are present for a long time before a diagnosis is made and professionals and families can mistake Huntington’s for a different illness such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. This is especially true when people are not aware that the faulty gene is in their family and that they are at risk, making the work the HDA do absolutely critical in terms of raising awareness as well as community care.
We are now almost two years on from receiving the news that Nicola does NOT carry the faulty gene and we are more involved in supporting the HDA than ever. It’s as made us more determined to give time and energy back to those whose coin fell on the flip side, and my team have kindly taken the charity to their hearts as much as us for this year’s Little Print Shop of Horrors.
The new exclusive prints are on sale now, alongside classic favourites from previous years. You can browse and buy from the fantastic selection of uniquely designed artwork here: www.littleprintshopofhorrors.com
All proceeds from the sale of the prints will help support our vital work.
