An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Two-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 39 1/2" x 56") (Learn More)

Weird Show, the circa 1950s spook show horror show ("See!..See! A Real Gone Thriller, Eerie Monsters grab girls from audience... A Fantastic Congress of Horrors!"; "Dr. Jeky; presents the horrifying Weird Show."; "On stage. Dig this crazy mixed-up show"; "Weird! Thrills! Shivers! Shudders!"; "Don't come alone. Make up a spook party"). 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). 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.
