Ted, here's a few to start. 

Not my Belgian but a North African one sheet using the same art. (Slight cheat but my Belgian is at my son's house in Seattle).






In the stairwell here in the Vaterland.






At the New Orleans house years ago, kitty hanging is our tenants.

They are all beautiful.
I have a handful of Belgians, but not in your league.
Well done, sir.

Lyn, I love the Laurel & Hardy stock poster. 

Any idea what year that is from?

I'm sure it is certainly post war, my guess is early 50s.  I've always enjoyed L&H and just after I got the poster up, I found the two ceramics at a flea market just a few kilometers away from the house.  Talk about serendipity.

Sara who....


I got to say Lyn, you do have great taste, I would have a Laurel and Hardy night 4 times a year for a bunch of film friends....Jollyfine nights.

Here's the rest.

Beautiful. The Belgian Children of the Damned has always been one of my fave images for the film, too. 

And more great fare, too, for this spooky time of year!

The CHILDREN is, IMHO, the best.  American paper is just dull. I like the pairing also with EYES W/O FACE. It makes the stairwell a real stare well  .

I forgot about this thread.  I'll do a new count in September to see how I evolved.
