As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you each week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES!

So below is the pressbook from The Crimson Ghost, the 1946 Fred C. Brannon & William Witney mystery crime serial ("A Republic Serial in 12 Chapters"; "For the first time, An amazing answer to the atomic bomb explodes in a blaze of serial super-action!") starring Charles Quigley, Linda Stirling, Clayton Moore, I. Stanford Jolley, Kenne Duncan, Sam Flint, Rex Lease, and Rod Bacon. Note that the Crimson Ghost was played by actor Bud Geary, who is uncredited, but he solely wore the costume and the voice that was used was that of I. Stanford Jolley, who played a different character in the serial!

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and an interior spread:

   

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 20,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!). And remember to check out our previous Cool Items of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
