I first stumbled across daybills while collecting old Star Wars memorabilia. There were a few titles for horror films I loved at a collectors fair, so I grabbed them. Loved the look and the idea of having original paper to go with the old films I en…

Okay - I think I have finally have this one sorted! I've been browsing the old Government Gazettes and found these two entries from 1980:

*sigh* eBay really hurts the hobby with their lack of care. There must be more fake Halloween lobby cards out there now than originals!

Raises a question that often comes up for me: with 3 examples of a poster being sold within weeks of each other for $9.99, $24 and $291, what is the poster's true value? If you were going to list one for sale today, how much would you ask for?

#215 - Konga? #217 - Murders at the Rue Morgue?

#212 - Twice Told Tales, #213 - Devil Doll.

Rick posted a Roadshow daybill for 'The Pit and the Pendulum' in the March 2017 new acquisitions and if you look on the right hand side above the word 'and' you can see the same skull!#205 - Carnival of Souls? #208 - Zombieland#203 - Nosferatu? #204 - Daughters of Darkness(Quote) Ha!
He's got more listed right now!
My disgust at this is two fold - 1. that he's ripping off someone right now and 2. that all these bogus cards will filter through the collecting world for years to come.Very sad news. My thoughts and well wishes are with the team at eMovie as well as Gary's family and friends.(Quote) The skull on the left - note the bat above the eye, the crescent eye socket and the teeth:

Hi Bruce,
I was wondering whether you're seeing a change in the age of items you're being sent? Are you seeing more 90s and less 50s, for example?At the other end of the spectrum...Severin Films have just released 'The Killing of America' of Blu-Ray. I love this doco and used to regularly watch my old VHS. A quick search shows that a 35mm print was passed by the OFLC in 1983. I have seen an A…No...way too much into horror would be pointing out that the art was 'borrowed' for the Turkish poster for 'Hell Night' :-)

Is there such a thing as an Italian pressbook / press sheet? Hunting for rare posters is hard; hunting for ones that don't exist is even more frustrating!
Add in the imaginative translation of titles and there's lot of fun to have!
<…Is it safe to say that any set would have to have at least 8? And while we're throwing up questions - why are full sets so scarce? Is it because defining a 'set' is so tricky? And why are so many of them so beaten up?Great daybill!! *sigh* why are the pretty ones always so rare...#194 - Frankenstein 1980?Yes please! Any paper on this film is interesting.Geez! The poster I've got. Knowledge of the film? Not so much! Tricky one!!
How was a 'horror' film defined? There are lots of daybills from that 20 year banned period that I would've classed as horror - '13 Ghosts' for example.#191 - Dr Jekyll & Sister Hyde?
#193 - Scarlett Johansson in Eight Legged Freaks!
