Auction History Result 7g178 BLOOD FEAST Spook Show WC 1970 see a surgical maniac, it's real, not a movie, ultra rare! Date Sold 6/8/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Window Card Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Blood Feast, the 1970 Spook Show theatrical stage horror show window card ("Direct from Hollywood"; "'Blood' movie director Don Brandon and his Hollywood producer defies you to prove this is fake!"; "On stage"; "1st time ever!"; "It's real not a movie"; "See a surgical maniac"). Monster, and The Killer Creature. Note that Don Brandon was a pseudonym for J.G. Patterson, who acted in several low budget horror movies of the 1960s, and he also did makeup and special effects on some of those movies, up until his passing in 1975. He had this traveling stage show, where he recreated some of the effects that he used in those movies, and he "cheated" quite a bit by calling the show the "Blood Feast Stage Show", when he had nothing to do with the movie "Blood Feast"! If anyone knows more about this poster or this stage show, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this was a poster for a "spook show" of the 1970s ("spook shows" started in the 1930s, and continued mostly 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. 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. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
