Secrets of Exorcism, the circa 1960s Spook Show horror theatrical stage show window card ("On stage"; "You'll have nightmares for a week!"; "You'll never see it on TV!"). This was a poster for a "spook show" ("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.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this Spook Show window card only measures 11" x 14" and does not appear to be trimmed. It might have originally had a blank top and bottom area that brought it up to 14" x 22", but we have never seen another one of these, so we don't know. It is REALLY cool, but bear in mind that it measures 11" x 14" and not 14" x 22" before placing a bid.
