Great Jones, Test!  It just might be better than the movie, eh?!   Okie

Lol, yeah I hear you mate, I appreciate it's not everyone's favourite in the Indiana Jones series, personally I don't mind it myself, I can watch all three movies in the original trilogy quite easily, at least Temple of Doom is 100 times better than Crystal Skull

Love Temple of Doom.  I saw it as a child and it remains one of my favorite 80s flicks.  N2 after Raiders.  So much fun.

This^

That pretty much sums up my memories of Temple of Doom, as I said I like all three of the original trilogy, but, I have to say that when I was little Temple of Doom was the one I must have seen the most times, I remember watching it many times along with films like The Goonies and Back to the Future and other stuff like that.

as concerns the Star Trek poster and why it is wavy

clearly, it has absorbed moisture and is warped in that area. The only way to fix that is by linenbacking the poster

I respect that assessment, but have to say that I don't see how it's possible.

When I received the poster I unrolled it and it didn't display any sign of warping. Instead, this phenomenon was apparent from the moment it was framed - so I'm not sure it would have had any opportunity to absorb moisture.

where was it displayed?
the poster could have absorbed environmental moisture. But it is definitely a sign of moisture for that poster

Not necessarily...

Well said here:

 

I have about 45 or so HPF frames, so I'm a big HPF fan.

I normally use one clip at the top center.  You'll notice that the clips often create unsightly "compression waves," which become worse over time, so I use them sparingly.

Really, at this point I've been spoiled by mylar and linen-backed posters and art prints, which look perfect framed.

This can also happen with wood frames and points, when the points are too strongly pressed against the backing board.  Also, as has been mentioned, when the frame is too small, and/or when the frame is hung with a wire across the back - that can exert pressure on the sides of the frame.

Hey! Jeff,

Yes, the artist's signature is just underneath the guy with the horns.

Thanks, John.

while not the poster, I'm sure this recent addition to my collection  will be interesting to lots of folks around these parts

for the 1966 movie, not a tv episode

Nice going, Richie!  Ah, Lee Meriwether as Catwoman was my favorite.  Can you bring to OAF?  I'd enjoy looking through it.  Okie

thanks pal.

sadly I already will have too much to bring and when you fly, that isn't much. I actually will be shipping 5 or more boxes ahead of the trip. Maybe 10 boxes. I hope I can sell it out at the show maybe, so I don't have to ship any back!

Hey everyone,

New member from Australia posting for first time. Don't have biggest collection but have a big level for Movies and especially the large vinyl banners. Have just recently done a home renovation to have a home cinema so have just started to put some on display to give a cinema feel, I'm big sci fi fan so most of the posters I have in this genre.

Loving the posts though, always great to see what else is around in the collecting world.

Wow, Greg!  Looks like you are giving your theatre visitors thrills right when they walk in the door.  Very cool to see your display, and welcome!  Okie

Looking good there, Greg.

And  to the forum. Enjoy it.

Happy to have you, too.

Spanish poster for BEYOND THE DOOR (1974), with Juliet Mills.

The creepy art is by Jano.





It was made to piggyback off the success of THE EXORCIST. Due to plot similarities, Warner Bros sued and won, receiving a cash settlement and a % of the movie's future profits.

Interesting poster for sure there Jeff must be honest never heard of the film before though, I assume you've watched the film? or did you just like the poster?

[erik1925]

I saw the movie... but a long time ago... pretty mediocre, to be honest. But there are a number of other cool posters that were done for the movie, so when I tripped across this one, I decided to snag it.

Fair enough Jeff, the poster certainly has something about it for sure and your 100% right about it having a creepy vibe about it.

A couple acquisitions for me this month.

This Indian Jaws three sheet is quite rare. I don't see it in either the Heritage or EMP archives. Thiery has the only other example that I can find.



I love the artwork on this World Without Sun three sheet.

Hi Eric160634,  That's a crazy, fun Jaws poster from India! I really like how the top art looks like they were really trying to make it look more local.  Message: Jaws is everywhere!

Okie

Cool looking JAWS poster there, eric Congrats on snagging both of these posters. 

Just curious about the JAWS poster. At the bottom section, with all the credits, is that a large, white snipe that has been attached to the poster? Or are the credits printed?

Reason I ask is that it looks like it slightly overlaps or is against the bottom edge of the row of photos.

And if it is an added snipe, I wonder what the original printed title and text look like?

I think it is more an awkwardly designed section rather than a snipe. It is almost as if one person did the top two thirds of the poster and someone else did the credits without having seen the top section.

Thanks for the info, eric.

It's cool to see this poster again.  I haven't seen mine in 10 years (it's buried in a flat file) and I haven't seen another one for sale ever since.  If I had seen yours, I would have probably given you a run for it, because I like to own two of the rare ones.  I'm also happy to see that what I considered defects on mine are also on yours (I checked my picture).  Those white spots on the side are printing defects, I guess,  Nice one!!!

Thanks T. I was worried you would get involved in the bidding;D I gambled on this one buying from a brand new eBay seller from India with 0 feedback but I felt it was worth the risk to get something this rare. It was a big relief when the package arrived and was in the expected condition.

@eric160634

Have to fully agree with other comments on your JAWS poster, very nice find, certainly one of the best/unique posters I've seen for the film, congrats
