Loves Slaves of the Amazon (1957) Theater Herald

This theater herald is for Love Slaves of the Amazon. I bet you didn't know Curt Siodmak did more than just write The Wolf Man. 

 

The Sunset Legion (1928) Theater Herald

Here's the theater herald for The Sunset Legion westerner. The blank page is for the theater's printer to add the address and other coming attractions. The actual size is 9 x 4 inches when unfolded.

 

 

Horrors of the Screen No. 3, 1964

From the Wikipedia entry on fanzines: "Alex Soma's Horrors of the Screen,  Calvin T. Beck's Journal of Frankenstein (later Castle of Frankenstein) and Gary Svehla’s Gore Creatures were the first horror fanzines created as more serious alternatives to the popular Forrest J. Ackerman's 1958 magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland." Courtesy of Professor Kinema's archives comes issue 3 of Horrors of the Screen, murky fanzine printing and all. Articles include Edwin Schallert's How the Invisible Man Was Filmed, which delves into the special effects used to create the illusion of invisibility, Annette Florance's Peter Cushing. Steven Jochsberger recalls a birthday with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi's career coverage is continued in part 2 of William G. Obbagy's article.

Collegeville Super Witch Halloween Costume

Now, if only this voodoo witch-styled Collegeville costume for Super Witch had a box to match the wicked mask and macabre costume illustration, that would be super, too.

La Methode Revue De Cinema No. 9

I don't read French, but Professor Kinema visits Paris every year. He brings back a lot of good reading he finds in the book stalls. Here's his copy of La Methode Revue De Cinema No. 9, which is full of great horror movies. While we were punning our way through the movies in the 1960s, the French took a more serious approach to our horrors. We caught up in the 1970s but I will always be grateful to the French fans and critics who saw the classic in our terrors before we did.

Ben Cooper Belfry the Bat Halloween Costume

Museumoftheodd on eBay has come up with a cute little oddity, indeed, from Ben Cooper: Belfry the Bat. Imagine yourself flying around Halloween evening dressed as Belfry, filching candy from door to door, quickly, before the zombie clowns walk up the driveway and scare the old folk out of their wits and walkers. Makes you kind of miss the good old days, don't it?

Collegeville Small Devil Halloween Costume

So many devils, so few Halloweens. Here's another variation on the devil to make you do it. 

Collegeville Gorilla Halloween Costume

Go ape with this Collegeville Gorilla costume. If the mask looks familiar, that's because it's been repurposed a few times in other costumes. Not sure I like the color-scheme in this one since it's more a clown-gorilla vibe than a king of the apes gorilla vibe.

Ben Cooper Spock Halloween Costume

Who wouldn't want to beam up to the Enterprise as Spock for Halloween? 

Collegeville Witch Halloween Costume

Here's a bewitching Collegeville Witch costume listed by eBay'r nicketynacks. That mask almost seems J-Horror, doesn't it?

Collegeville Casper Halloween Costume

That "white for night" marketing gimmick is quite apropos for this Collegeville Casper, the friendly ghost, costume.

Collegeville Bozo the Clown Halloween Costume

Seems more like Bozo the Hobo clown given the condition of the costume. I vaguely recall seeing Bozo on his television show. Thank the lord I was too young to be scared. After all the horror movies I've watched, I'm now too old not to be (listed by eBay'r hideho).
