At the Boxoffice"; "1st time here! It'll freeze your blood! Not a magic show! All together! Alive - In this huge show! Direct from Hollywood!"; "On Stage In Person With The HOLLYWOOD MONSTER Show"; "6 - Killer monsters from the movies - 6"; "Sit through it all and you get FREE! Girls, Elvis Presley Pin-up - Boys, Brigitte Bardot Pin-up") featuring on-stage performances by The Mummy, Frankenstein the Monster, and The Killer Creature. Note that this was a poster for a "spook show" of the 1950s ("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. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: 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: fine. The poster is in quite nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
