One last word on Horror/Sci-fi, Taking a cue from Evan I did a quick count and out of the 194 Horror/sci-fi lots (up through the 50s as that is what most people refer to when speaking of the "invincible" horror/sci-fi genre) I came up with 53 lots that sold (or passed) for below estimate (27%), 83

Yes you are wrong in understanding that Dennis paid $85K for the Bride half sheet. But you are correct in understanding he paid $33K for the Black Cat half sheet that just sold for a record $89K. And yes it looks as if all the results you posted were from this past weekend's auction. But I'm not
