Farwell Sir Christopher Lee

My own tribute. A huge part of my youth is gone.

A class act all the way!

Hey Abbott!

As funny today, as when released in 1948. Here is the restored one sheet.

Vincent vs. Flesh Eating Zombies

Here is the one sheet to this classic horror film. Based on the Richard Matheson novel I AM LEGEND. Re-made later as THE OMEGA MAN and then the original book title.

Please contribute to this very worthwhile cause!

Buster at MGM......Speak Easily (1932)

Buster Keaton gave up creative control when he moved to MGM in 1929. Charlie Chaplin warned him NOT to do it. MGM teamed him with Jimmy Durante. The mix didn't work. But, the films made money, Buster turned to the Bottle and the rest is a sad history, followed by an amazing come back.
Here is a very racy poster released in Sweden. Interesting artwork to say the least.

Goodbye Mr. Harryhausen

I was happy to have met Mr. Harryhausen at Comic Con and Cinecon. He was nice enough to take the time to discuss his films and entertained this fanboy for several minutes. He opened the door to my imagination for years. Now he is reunited with his buddies Uncle Forry & Ray Bradbury.

Karloff Talking to the Dead?

I posted a restored one sheet a longggggggggg time ago. Here is a terrific lobby to that same film.

Kong Amazing three sheet

This little gem, went for over $400.000. on Heritage recently. Here it is fully restored for all of you for free. I really like the artists rendering of the combination T-Rex and Brontosaurus.

Santa Bela

Here we have Bela as Dracula (Of course), wishing us all Happy Holidays.

Watch out for those Robots!

Here is a six sheet to one of the most enjoyable serials to ever come out of Hollywood.

Fiancee or Bride?

I guess when you think about it, they never did get married!

Devil Bat taught by Bela

I just don't have the patience to see If this was already posted. I am juggling this blog and three Facebook Pages. Yes, travel to F.B. and check out WHERE CLASSIC FILMS ARE KING, SILENTS ARE GOLDEN and THE GEORGE REEVES APPRECIATION SOCIETY. Cool, you get a really neat half sheet restoration and a plug for my other stuff.

Still Life Gold

You know what excites a Classic Film Connoisseur? Besides watching films you have never seen that turn out to be good, finding a publicity still from a favorite film. Here, Glen Strange as the Frankenstein Monster, taking a break between shooting on ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948). Terrorizing three Universal lovelies. I have no idea who any of these gals are, but love the '48 style of bathing suit. Enjoy kids.

Bela Eternal

One of the all time creepiest performances by Bela Lugosi. Fun film.

Mickey in Color

My favorite cartoons, will always be those made by Warner Brothers. However, there is no denying the artistic pleasures of those wonderful mid to late 30s Mickeys. THE BAND CONCERT and THROUGH THE MIRROR are just plain wonderful to watch. Those two being my favorites. Runners up would be CLOCK CLEANERS, LONESOME GHOSTS and MICKEY'S TRAILER. Here is a nifty poster that was fun to restore.

Bela is Blu

Bela. He never looked better, then in the new Blu-Ray release by Universal. The studio Magicians have down a superb job of visual and audio restoration. My highest recommendation.

To Mars and those Babes!

Gee whiz did I love this flick as a kid! Funny thing thou. Bud and Lou take a detour from Mars and end up on a very "Man-less" Venus instead! You gotta love them Venusian babes. Universal touted that the Venusian women were played by contestants in the Miss Universe competition. Anita Ekberg, the winner of the Miss Sweden competition, was among the ensemble.
Enjoy this just restored three sheet.

Ghost Of Frank.

Here is the cover to another pressbook. Fully restored complete with a lovely exposed leg. Not the Monster's leg.
