September 2017 Original Vintage Movie Posters Dear Friends and Movie Lovers The Scary Season is nearly upon us. For Horror fans it came early: a cruel summer that saw the deaths of two of the genre's master directors: George Romero and Tobe Hooper. Hooper's TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE remains one of the most unrelentingly horrifying films ever made - despite the low budget and relative lack of gore (he said he was aiming for a PG rating!) And Romero... well, he practically invented the modern Zombie genre with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD in 1968, and later created what may be...

June 2017 Original Vintage Movie Posters BOND AND BEYOND: THE SPY WE LOVED & A LEGEND RETURNS TO HOLLYWOOD, FOREVER. Dear Friends & Movie Lovers- Hello from Hollywood. We'd like to start this month's newsletter by acknowledging the passing of Sir Roger Moore, who brought such charm, sophistication, wit and self-deprecating good humor to the 007 series. He wasn't everyone's ultimate Bond, but he certainly had a great run - starting with the relatively edgy and somewhat blaxploitation-influenced LIVE AND LET DIE, then hitting his stride in the glorious THE SPY WHO LOVED ME and the insanely lavish, over-the-top in outer space MOONRAKER and reeling it in a...
