This actually IS a real movie and a film version of this movie is available from Netflix, but of course it does not include any of the many cool live things that were added when this was shown at a live spook show! Apparently, theaters would show the movie, and also have people dressed as monsters run out from behind the screen and "invade" the audience! I can't imagine what it was like to have actually been at this show. If anyone reading this WAS at one of these shows, please e-mail us and tell us what it was like! 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 and posters that DO survive are rarely in even "very good" condition! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this two-sheet measures 40 3/4" x 56". What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good.
