First, let me start off by saying that I am not interested in the price of Horror and Science Fiction. As it turns out, I can send my daughter to the University of Colorado for 4 years for about $50,000 and would rather do that than own a great horror one sheet (except for "The Invisible Man" -- f

Bruce Hershenson is running two daybills for BUTTERFIELD 8 at the moment. They are easy to differentiate in printing, as clearly one is short a plate (see lack of detail in Liz's negligee as one example). The version with SUITABLE ONLY FOR ADULTS at the bottom of the poster was printed for use

No, the pressbooks for Bride of Frankenstein and Werewolf of London have gone for higher ~ and that's primarily because they look like slightly smaller inserts. Also, I sold a Mark of the Vampire presbook several years ago for over $7,000. Ron Moore Cinema Icons --- Joel Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECT
