Non poster paper
« on: March 24, 2010, 04:51:50 PM »
I picked up a couple of Pressbooks the other day. I do like them as they give all the posters that were available for the release of the film, so always a good guide.

OMG, I own so many pressbooks.  I don't know why, I used to collect them.  Not anymore.  I must have at least 500.  Some are in France, some here.  I'll have to go thru them one day.  I haven't bought one in at least 15 years.

Picked up a rare campain book for Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein, last month. It was called Abbott & Costello meet the Ghosts in the U.K. on it's first release. Still looking for a couple of Front of house stills if anyone has any?

Well there's something you don't see every day.  Very nice pick up and congrats!  Would love to know if any "A&C Meet The Ghosts" poster(quad?) exists

Well acording to the Campain book they were most definitly available, with a host of other goodies. I do know on the second release in the U.K. the title was back to Frankenstein, so quite rare stuff. I do have some F.O.H. Stills I'll see if I can get a pic up.

Here's the poster and ad campaign, the Quad is in the upper right corner in the purple.

How about the Lugosi standie with the title on. They are also saying to have a fellow dressed like Lugosi with the title on his cape, walking up and down the street!! ah the good old days.
Also here are a couple of my F.O.H. stills. (Sorry for the flash on the pics)

Well, completely forgot about this section. Came across it while looking where to post these. No one will see them way down here, but what the hell.

These are promotional items sent out to co-inside with the films release...















I wonder how many exist now....

All I know Ted, is these were issued to film exhibitors, as a way to get into the trade shows; And as paper could easily be forged they were given this "badge" for want of a better word.
I have been told that the number on the back related to a specific person. So I'm guessing it could be traced back to the owner who used it.

Looking at it my guess was it's early 30's, and such a shame that wasn't the date on the back as it may well have been for the Dracula Trade show.... eyeroll Oh well.

Picked this up recently, paid a bit much, but it's a great image of Father and Son in the famous Soundstage 28.... Yes I know it's a publicity still...

Paul, that is a great photo.  clap

When I worked at Universal, I was able to explore, on my own, Stage 28, go up the stairs behind the opera boxes to get to the various levels, including the Infamous Box 5. It is something to see. From what I gather, all of the original theater seats were removed long ago (that level is actually covered by a floor so that it is on level with the outside doors).

Here are a couple more current shots of the same box, that is in your still. And where the floor currently is:



What is a real shame, is that grip crews often carelessly lean ladders or scaffolding against the plasterwork causing chips, breaks and cracks; I wish Universal would take a better stance with that, otherwise, it will continue to sustain damage.  :'(
