From my vintage horror/sci-fi movie poster collection

[Chris9000]

Jeff, that poster picking out from behind is a French affiche (24 X 32) for Horror of Dracula, designed by Guy Gerard Noel.  Most of the early Hammer classics were distributed in France by Universal, hence the logo on that poster.  I have a couple of drawers where I store all my smaller posters together, which is why Dracula can be seen under Cat and the Canary in that pic.

Gorgeous... Seeing your Hammers has inspired me to get into them. Hoping to pick up my first one soon.

Chris,

Hammer posters are awesome, so I'm glad that I have inspired you to pick up some.  I'm partial to the French ones (especially the great posters by Guy Gerard Noel and Boris Grinsson), but the UK quads are really good too, particularly from the late 1950s-early 1960s.  There are some really great examples from Italy as well.  I grew up watching Hammer horror on French TV, so I'm always looking to add more paper from their movies to my collection.

Benjamin,
Picked up this The Curse of the Werewolf by Noel tonight at auction. I don't frame very many of my posters, but I think this one might go up in my office. A stunner for sure.

AWESOME pickup, Chris!

You should post this auction win in the recent acquisitions thread, too.

I've always loved this particular G.G. Noel poster. 

It's superb and works SO well, imho.

Congrats Chris, the small French affiche for Curse of the Werewolf is in my opinion the best image for this movie.  I have mine framed as well, so I think you should go for it.  There's something about the unique combination of purple and yellow that works great.

Thanks guys!

After looking into/researching the Hammers, this one stood out to at the top of my list as well, and just happened to be one of the first I came across. Aside from some minor border wear, the body appears to be in nice condition and the colors still bright. Pretty excited about this one.

Jeff, I'll be sure to post it in next month's recent acquisitions after I receive it. I've got a thing about posting the auction image in that thread, no real good reason for it though.

Congrats Antoine, another insanely great thread/collection on APF.

Back in the day I would brag jokingly about being a "5 Star Collector" but you truly are one, ha-ha.

You weren't joking, but you are now

Thanks Mel, you have some pretty impressive posters yourself too, even after selling most of your original holdings!  Sorry to hear about your health-related setbacks, but I'm glad you're posting again on this forum as your recent contributions these past few days have been most interesting.

I just happened to look at Ben's thread here, again.

And for anyone wanting an eye opening view of some great horror & sci-fi posters - this is one collection/thread to take a gander at.

[Antoine1973]

Thank you Jeff, you're too kind.  I guess I should add more pics to this thread, I sort of forgot about it.

[erik1925]

This could kind of be like your showcase thread where even the things you buy in various months, are all housed together.

[Antoine1973]

Here are some recent additions to my vintage horror/sci-fi collection

[Monster_A_GoGo]

Yes, great collection for All Hallows, Antoine1973!  Also, we will be having a sort of homecoming to our house with a table to donate money on before the bank examiner halls me off!!!  Okie
