Date Sold 11/2/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Jumbo Spook Show Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 17" x 26 1/4") (Learn More) Midnight Zombie Jamboree, the circa 1940s Spook Show horror theatrical stage show window card ("Thrills! Screams! Roars of Laughter!"; "On our stage"; "We dare you"; "With Frankenstein in person!"; "Make Up A Zombie Party You'll Get A Lot of Laffs!"; "Boogiemen that would make Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi look like a couple of Choir Boys!") featuring cool artwork of ghosts, skeletons, and the devil! This was a poster for a "spook show" of the 1930s ("spook shows" started in the 1930s, and continued into the late 1960s, with their greatest prominence in the late 1940s and 1950s). Local theaters would book three to five low budget movies, and then advertise them as a late night "spook show". Often they would have "live" acts on stage (sometimes famous actors who had appeared in monster movies would appear on stage in full make up, and sometimes it would be local actors dressed as monsters), and often the posters would make outrageous promises (sometimes they might say a person would be beheaded on stage, etc!). Not too many of these spook show posters survive (almost all the known surviving ones are window cards, some of which are 14" x 22", and some of which are 22" x 28", and the shows certainly had very limited runs). The few "spook show" window cards that DO survive are rarely in even "very good" condition. If anyone knows more about this specific spook show or this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Note that while most of the items in these Sunday auctions have a fixed shipping of $12, $9, or $5 U.S. shipping (see each individual auction for which are which), THERE ARE 14 ITEMS NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THESE AUCTIONS THAT ARE QUITE OVERSIZED, AND ON THOSE EXACT AUCTIONS, THE BUYERS WILL HAVE TO PAY THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING, EVEN IF THEY LIVE IN THE U.S. Condition: very good. There is darkening in the bottom 2" of the card, and slightly around the edges of the card. There is a 1/2" tear near the middle of the left blank border and some faint scuffing in the center of the card. Other than the above, the card is in nice condition!
