Being offered on ebay (hence the watermarks), but this is a cool photo showing a float, with a (locally made?) banner and posters for White Zombie and The Marriage Bond (both 1932), in Bundaberg, Queensland:

How the hell did I not see this thread before?  I got a few, The Loew's Paradise Theatre located at 2413 Grand Concourse (in the Bronx), New York:

Cool pictures, Louie.

aw hell,  The Lowe's Paradise didn't upload properly so here it is again.  I wanted to show it at a HUGE size so you can see all the detail in this GREAT movie palace, they certainly don't make 'em like this anymore:

Pool hall on the second floor, that would have been a big one!

 Not exactly a poster, but I thought this Kill Bill billboard was outrageous.

That is very cool.

 Steve's article link has a much better photo showing the rental cars as part of the 3D effect. And apparently the creative billboard was conjured up in New Zealand- probably by a bloke, who was a bit of a dag after too many Speights during an all black game.

Great stuff!

If you watch the film Gorgo, the part where they drive through London with him on the back of a wagon, this cinema had the 59 Mummy up.
A few years earlier this...

I like the Tarantula Paul

I wonder:
- has the statue been moved since, more to the right?
- how did the people get on to the roundabout and where are they going (looks dangerous)
