It does, but some of us don't want T to get a swelled head

Really Nice, Mike.

(And I have the same water glasses, too).

Here's a NEW poster I put together using an image from the Japanese program and art from the original pressbook. For a local screening where I'm running my 16mm print (mint original of American version).

Ray, have you done any new poster creations since this one, way back when?

Ray Faiola · « **Reply #1880 on:** March 31, 2017, 06:59:34 AM »

Well, one of my disappointments in original posters is THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES, which has modern images of Bud and Lou. The artwork has no relation to the subject of the film. When we ran the picture at Shadowland, I put this poster together using an image from a 1946 rotogravure magazine cover.

That poster looks really great, Ray.

Some of you will already have seen these in other threads, but, for those of you that have not seen them, these are the two posters I currently have framed and up in my bedroom....

No doubt I'll change them around as soon as I get something NEW!

I collect original movie poster paintings (the original artworks, not the printed posters). Here's a selection of stuff currently framed on the walls of my house . . .

First up, Tom Chantrell's finished painting for the British double-bill release of 'High-Ballin' and The Big Sleep'.

Mr Trent · « **Reply #1884 on:** April 03, 2017, 07:12:20 PM »

Tom Chantrell's prototype painting for Pancho Villa . . .

Mr Trent · « **Reply #1885 on:** April 03, 2017, 07:15:09 PM »

Tom Chantrell's finished art for the British release of 'Patton; Lust For Glory' . . .

Mr Trent · « **Reply #1886 on:** April 03, 2017, 07:17:04 PM »

Tom Chantrell's original finished painting for 'Rasputin, the Mad Monk' (that was subsequently censored for the resulting printed poster) . . .

Mr Trent · « **Reply #1887 on:** April 03, 2017, 07:18:23 PM »

Tom Chantrell's prototype painting for the 1964 British movie, 'This is My Street' . . .

It's funny how we're all so different. I posted my new acquisitions the other day and no one said anything about this one, when it is the one I was most excited about. One of my favorite poster designs ever. A historical artifact, really, knowing what happened to Tate a year later. I had to put it up, even if it is a little longer than my frame (the Frazetta drawing is overlapped by the bottom part of the poster.) I love it!

I'm now waiting for my wife to come home and gently say "take this shit off the wall, you're going to scare the kids."

This poster is just great ! Love it !
As for scaring the kids, easy solution is just to watch the movies with kids

Thierry, I love the frame you put the Fearless Vampire Killers in!

Here are what's currently on my walls (besides the French 47X63 for King Kong and Horror of Dracula that I posted in an another thread): an Italian 4 Fogli for Day of the Triffids, an Italian 2 Fogli for Dr Cyclops, US one-sheets for The Body Snatcher, The Leopard Man and Bedlam (my mini-Val Lewton tribute in the stairwell!), a French 23X32 for Curse of the Werewolf, and US one-sheets for The Man They Could Not Hang and The Lady and the Monster.

Antoine1973 · « **Reply #1891 on:** April 26, 2017, 10:35:58 AM »

I know I posted these in an another thread, but for convenience's sake, here are the other 2 posters on my walls, French 47X63 for King Kong and Horror of Dracula.

Really nice framing jobs, there, Benjamin.

Are the black frames all by the same framer/company? And do you frame your posters yourself? Or have them done?

Monster_A_GoGo · « **Reply #1893 on:** April 26, 2017, 12:55:48 PM »

TIERRY: LOVE your FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS 3-sheet. I have the one sheet, but yours is just so eye-catching with its size. How did you make it stay up as it is in 2 pieces? I do not like linen and the only 3-sheet I have is linen. I've considered getting others, but I do not know how to keep them up without any sort of backing. I could just staple them like they did originally in the theaters--but wouldn't want to damage them any more than they already are. But I love the size. WOW!

BENJAMIN: WOW!! I had never seen that "DR. CYCLOPS" before...but that "BODY SNATCHER" has been high up on my want list for decades. LOVE it. Such a stunning beauty. Gorgeous posters.

Antoine1973 · « **Reply #1894 on:** April 26, 2017, 08:42:54 PM »

Thanks Jeff, I get all my frames from the same place, a framing company upstate NY. They do a good, reasonably-priced work.

Monster_A-Gogo (what's your name?), I really like the image of Karloff on that Body Snatcher OS, his eyes really seem to glow with evil intent. I love the style of all the posters that RKO did for their Val Lewton-produced horror cycle, they're so distinctive.

I do like that 'Dr Cyclops'!

These two needed some air. Most of the time, though, they will be covered up by the screen.

erik1925 · « **Reply #1897 on:** June 12, 2017, 04:07:40 PM »

The Incredible Mr. Limpet cel is up on the wall.

I have always loved both styles of Japanese Apocalypse posters, you having the far more rare style is an added bonus
