I felt extremely luck to have won this poster on an Ebay auction. I absolutely love grindhouse films and especially the posters who will write and photograph or draw explicit things (within reason for public display) to get you into the theater and pay to watch the movie.

This poster is definitely the epitome of trying to get you into tge theater. For those who were too young to understand, this was before the internet, youtube abd imdb where you could find out anything about a movie. Advertising on tv and radio were very expensive, especially for low budget exploitation films like this. You might see a quick trailer after 11 pm on a local station, but that was it. It would be preview of coming attractions before another movie would start and the newspaper in the movie section would have ads with showtimes and names of the theaters was how you’d find out about it.

Even though there’s writing on the poster, I feel this is a great win for my collection.

Any Grindhouse Exploitation movie fans out there?

This is a card for a signing I have with David Howard Thorton the terrifier Art the clown, and I hopefully can get it signed by Spencer from INK also.

One of my obsessions is ‘80s horror movies. So I was super pumped to find this at the flea market…a 3D TCM2 video store light box poster! My family used to go to the local video store every Friday when I was a kid, and my first stop was always their amazing horror section. Some of my favorite childhood memories. I love finding this kind of stuff!

There’s a movie prop auction in March at prop store, and their auctioning off the book of the dead from the evil dead and I found that they’re auctioning off Bill Skarsgård’s smashed head from barbarian, which was easily the best scary movie or horror movie of the last 10 years. They got some grails in-the auction!
