I figured I would post a few pictures of my man cave (which is an ongoing project). I still have some painting to do and plenty more frames to buy. My camera is not the best and my picture taking skills are lacking but here is goes..

Sorry about any glare-ridden shots!

Excellent choice of posters. whats the plans for the cave? is it going to be a bar/hangout space?

Jeezum crow, Conor, you have some kick-ass posters going up on the walls.
NOES quad and SILENT NIGHT 1sheet are just two of the many you have that are on my want list.
Can't wait to see the project completed.

Man, I love your collection. Re-Animator is near the top of my wish list. I can't wait to see the cave finished. What else do you plan on framing?
-
Nice work man!

Nice work man!
I love to see man caves. Very nice, CJ, and spacious too. That much space in my neighborhood would cost millions of $$$. I'm jealous.

Very nice. pcorn
That will be a great room to watch movies in if you do decide to make it into a home theater.

Looks pretty kick ass CJ.
When do we get our invites?
-
Impressive man cave CJ! Great choice of posters too - we're definitely on the same poster wavelength.
-
Wow, all that wall space... So many 3 and 6 sheets could go up!
-
Thanks guys! I plan on framing some larger posters one subway and a french one panel. APF members are welcome in mi casa (it is safe to invite internet friends over right?). I will probably do a short walk through video when it is complete because of the angles. I would like to put a projector down there but I am unsure how it would fit with the bar. I will be adding updated pics and such as things progress.
Thanks again for the positive feedback!

Yeah Conor, nothing safer than that....

Super nice cave man! I am so jealous... I told my wife she should add a second story to the detached garage at our new house for a poster room. She rolled her eyes but then said "I wonder if the foundation would support it?" Keeping my hopes up to have a cave like yours...

great selection of framed posters

Isn't that Kerry Haggard's kid...cell block 16?
How'd he get all the toys past the bulls?

Put some more stuff up. Slow going.

I could not fit posters in this space so I made it my autographs/photo area
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj147/cjwash/IMG_5022.jpg)
These are non theatrical posters. The TCM is a Media video release, the Friday the 13th 3 is for the soundtrack, the hellraiser was for the comic book. Lastly, the Evil Dead is (sadly) a reprint only purchased because I was in a pinch to get something signed by Bruce Campbell.

Sorry for any bluriness.

I wish I owned a big room like this. If I did, here in Southern Cal., my house would probably be worth $4 mil. So none for me :(
-
Fasntastic, you have great taste in posters!
-
Looking very good! Some great autographs and pictures to go along with your great posters. thumbup

Lookin' good CJ,

On the path to greatness CJ.

Looking good, Conor.
I like that John Bolton HELLRAISER. Very nice art.
By the looks of that pup tent in the last pic, the kids must enjoy camping out in Hell's Kitchen, eh?
-
HAHA! The two year old LOVES it. The Creepshow quad scares her a little. The four year old refuses to go down there all together. I am planning on hanging a retractable screen between the bar and wall here.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/63400243@N03/6328903183/
Not sure how it will work out. It is about fourteen feet back to the wall where I took the photo from.
Hopefully, I can get a good theater experience but have the screen go back up and open the room again.
High hopes but currently empty pockets!
Conor

I think i need that Creepshow

You could sell your 10 billion Spielberg posters?
But then I guess you'd have nothing to put on the walls ;)
-
To OP. the your man cave is step by step exactly how i invision mine to be, heck we got most of the same US onesheets even,, can wait to see it all put together, heck make a video you know i feel a bed1
-
Damn I love that man cave. I want something like that one day lol.
-
hey, any updates, i am not kidding, i have plans in my head, just like this, heck i got most of those posters
-
Sorry Steven, not much of an update to speak of. I did frame my french NOES 3, but aside from that it has been slow going. I am kind of destitute due to my children and subsequent booze costs. I promise when I make enough progress to post I will....
Conor
-
cant have to habbites, booze or posters, gotta choose, ;D lol my fav, pic thread on this forum
-
I collected most of my posters while I was a drunk. I am not so stupid now I am sober.

That does explain my collection.
No rush C. Posters are always works in progress.

So I built a screen and bought a projector for my man cave. here are a few pics of my construction and cheap setup.

Verrrrrry nice, Conor.....

That's a great, cheap solution - just keep that sheet clean ;)
-
Can't wait to follow the progress! Is the projector up yet?
-

Maybe a good idea not to go all CSI with the blue light on that sheet...
-
HAHA! Actually, rather than a sheet I bought thick spandex. 3 yards of black and 3 yards of white. The black behind the white really stops the transparency issue. I stretched it over the and clipped it down with big binder clips. I am really happy with the picture quality and managed to put it all together for about $100. Eventually i would like to get a motorized screen to drop down but this will do for now.
Matt, the projector is mounted and everything is operational. I have been watching trailers thorugh my Apple TV and cannot get over the quality of the picture. I will try and take a few pictures. Thanks for all your advice!

as said before still best man cave thread on APF.... I finally have a large room like that, urghh why can humidity and paper get along moron1 anyway still super thread
-
Old thread I know but wow very impressive man cave! Any updates?
-
I'm with e here, too, CJ. thumbup What a great looking room!
And great placement and display of all the posters!! faint2.gif
Is the screen up with films being run nightly in the Chamber of Poster Horrors & Delight?
And what's the 'specialty of the house' served at the bar?

Nice collection....nice space. When I have this much space about the only I am going to do different is paint the walls very dark.
But like E and Jeff said.....any updates?
-
Oooo "e" thank you for unearthing this old thread and bringing it to the light of day. i had never seen this either and am intrigued as well. Very nice job...and I'd like to see the finished Man Cave as well.
-
There are some updates! I recently cleaned up and need to snap a few pictures. I will get them up here soon!
-
Can't wait to see the updates
-
Wow... killer space and collection! You've got some real gems in there. I'm with the rest of the bunch, looking forward to the updates!
-
Thanks for the interest! So, I have actually tried to make the basement a little more "family friendly" since I have 3 kids 8 years old and under. The French NOES 3 was a pretty big deterrent for them so I switched it out with a Goonies. I do not think I posted pictures previously of the Return of the Living Dead giclée I have which is signed by Graham Humphries (who is a great guy) and next to it is a ROTLD Tarman print signed by William Stout. I have not purchased new frames in a while and thinned out my collection a bit. Bummer. I do still have quite a few posters to frame and hang and am motivated to do so. I picked up the hobby of restoring/building arcade cabinets and have a few, which take away from wall space, but the kids love.

I still fight glare when taking photo's of framed stuff, so sorry about that. I hope you guys enjoy and hopefully I can get some more frames with my tax return!!!
-
Cj, between the posters AND the arcade games, you have THE setup. I'd be lost all day down there, between poster viewing and playing the games.
Looks like a very fun and "familied" room!
What is the "More Brains" poster to the the right of your signed giclee?
Gratz on a great setup and poster display room. thumbsup.gif
-
Thank you Jeff. That is a print from the Fright-rags.com signed by William Stout, I got it on clearance for 10 bucks. It was used for a limited t shirt design.
-
Yowza! faint2.gif And a Gibson guitar!!!
-
That is a nice little entertainment room! Bravo!
I do have a question, where did you get Fix it Felix? I didn't realize, with the exception of the few made in conjunction with the movie, that these even existed?!?!? I have seen some custom mock ups, and know a place to get reworked source code for it....do you build and restore arcades?
-
Outstanding. clap
Similar to posters, the nostalgia of those old school games in their original cabinets is epic. And the projector, bar, etc. really make that a rad space. Nice work.
-
Thanks for the kind words guys!
Gingerman - Yes, I do build and restore arcade cabinets as another hobby. I am finishing up a mini virtual pinball machine at the moment. The Fix It Felix was a beat up COMPLETELY empty donkey kong cabinet I did a little bondo work on, re-painted and applied the FIFJR art to. The kids LOVE it. BTW, I would like to paint the walls darker, but could not decide on a color and was anxious to hang posters...

CJ , do you also revive "the insides" if they arent in working order?

A little bit. I am trying to learn, but it is not something I am very comfortable with. I have been able to trouble shoot and solder and fix some things. I have only purchased empty or broken games...I would like to fixt some old CRT monitors, but man, they pack a high voltage and I am just not comfortable. Two things I am too scared to do DIY is electricity and plumbing.
-
So is it just a display item then? Or?
I have rebuilt a couple in my days. I have only worked on Jamma style arcades. Talk about a nightmare to rewire the deck on a fighter game like Street Fighter....with 6 buttons 2 player buttons and 2 joysticks! I have a few motherboards tucked away. I want to build 2 machines one vert one horiz with selector switches for multiple games. I have a few 10 way jamma straps....and a family member who does arcades/pinball everyday!
I do like the idea of darker walls! If you ever get around to it even just a grey would change it up. Love the arcades! Well done!
