Zowie, Sean! Love those Nazisploitation posters, especially the first. You did a fine job "saving" them.

Banned in Norway back in the day :

-naziploitation
-martial arts
-certain horror films (Chainsaw , Maniac , Cannibal Holocaust among others)

This is a bit of a cheat because I actually bought this poster in March and not in April, but since I only joined APF this month, I couldn't post it earlier. Anyway, here's my favorite recent acquisition, an unrestored 6-sheet for The Leopard Man (1943), directed by Jacques Tourneur as part of the great RKO horror cycle produced by Val Lewton. I have the one-sheet for that movie, which is quite lovely, but I had never seen this format before and I find the art really stunning.

That's a true beauty, Benjamin...

And it got a few comments, ooohs and aaahs back in February, too, starting with this post:

And HA does great photography/lighting to make all the fold lines disappear. It's all about the correct key and fill lighting. Works every time on posters (and faces).

And maybe they also use a vacuum table to help flatten this (or any) folded poster?

Beautiful pick-up! That is an awesome poster! Kudos

it also has to do with having a photography stand with a large surface and a glass plate cover that comes down & presses posters flat for photography, in order to eliminate folds and the like for shooting pictures

A few of the UK quads I got already this month, just the best ones from the bunch.

And this long time wanted. Just picked one up. Thanks to Mike ( m154cath ) for alerting me about one being up on the bay.

Nice pickups, poster art!

Those Polish ones are awesome. The poster for Come And See is really an eye grabber (no pun intended).

Their art concepts and designs can really make you stop, look and think about the poster imagery.

Seems like a constant tide of awesome pieces from everyone this month. Congrats to all of you!!! :

Love the Come and See and The Leopard Man.

A couple more 80s pieces arrived.

2 cool ones there, Jay.

Loving that Fright Night insert.

Here's my contribution to April. I snagged this gem a week ago from emovieposters, with two more awesome additions coming this week. Since I'm a newbie at this my eyes were definitely starting to get bigger than my wallet. I've decided to collect the "Friday the 13th" series in an attempt to keep myself from going crazy. I had to start with this iconic image from the series. I always loved part 8 when I was a kid, so it was fitting for it to be my first poster. If anyone has tabs on an original copy of the first and second film, please let me know.

Does anyone know if they released the original design for this poster? Or if any got printed? I think it was mostly the same, but the knife was bloodied and dripping down the poster.

Edit: The poster being Friday the 13th VIII - Jason takes Manhattan.

some new lobbies that pleased me

and here is something you don't often see. A theater stamp on the back of the little accident card. for a now defunct downtown L.A. theater

RayStensen · « **Reply #163 on:** April 25, 2017, 07:51:26 PM »

Good finds Jay. Especially the African Queen.

Chris9000 · « **Reply #164 on:** April 25, 2017, 08:51:13 PM »

Love'em both, Ray..but especially the Creepshow!

Hey PAUL. I'm digging the PIRATES poster a lot...but what is ATOMIC BLONDE? Hmm.

BENJAMIN... Oh my STARS! That LEOPARD MAN six-sheet is GORGEOUS! WOW!!!! AMAZING catch. Color me JEALOUS to the nth degree. Bravo!

POSTER ART: Nice Polish pickups. Like Jeff, I especially like the imagery on "Come and See".

But I am really crazy for your TAXI DRIVER and MULHOLLAND DRIVE.

RAY STENSON: FRIGHT NIGHT and CREEPSHOW...you can NOT go wrong with either of those. Good job.

JAY---WOW! That AFRICAN QUEEN is cool...and that YELLOW SUBMARINE is wild. Awesome!

It's the END of the month (just about anyway)...what am I doing here? Well, I was saving this "Bonus Post" for April 30th, but am heading out of town tomorrow for a road trip. My next usual post (May 1st) is my LAST poster post for the summer (or longer?). This is a new BONUS post going up on my thread in just a moment to share some new acquisitions I don't have room for in my May 1st post. You can take a look or not. Here is a preview:

TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE (aka BAY OF BLOOD):

THE TICK:

GHIDRAH: THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER:

I hope your April was smashing! I'll see you once more in May.

CHEERS!

those Alien posters are the latest on release quads, lots around should be easy to get hold of.

Couple more rerelease Uk Quads I picked up a couple of days ago.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (BFI 2017)

Napoleon (BFI 2017)

poster art · « **Reply #172 on:** April 29, 2017, 05:47:24 PM »

And picked up this other Park Circus UK Quad , rare in the fact that its for a new film release and not a classic as mainly Park Circus rerelease classics.

mahmudf · « **Reply #173 on:** April 30, 2017, 07:47:55 PM »

I had this for a while but I only just found it again

One of the greatest films of all time IMO.
