Cat and Dogs -- May 25, 2024

Exhibitors Herald, 10-May-1924

Photos of stars and their pets have always been popular. Actress Margaret Livingstone appeared in many movies, most famously in FW Murnau's Sunrise. This item does not mention the name of her "imported English angora." The cat required high tea every after, "according to the Hodkinson Press Agent." 

Photoplay, May, 1924

Neal Burns appeared in Christie Comedies. His dog Blitz von Matershof won "the Photoplay Magazine silver cup, offered at the second show of the Shepherd Dog Club of the West, at Hollywood."

Horror Shockers -- Trog -- October 21, 2021


Vampirella 30, 1974

Halloween is coming. 

When I was young, I read Warren Publishing magazines like Famous Monsters of Filmland and Vampirella. The magazines always carried ads for back issues, posters and movies. I didn't have a film projector, so I read the ads with envy. Eventually, I got a Super-8 projector, but I didn't have enough money to buy any of these films. A friend had Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and I was fascinated by the way it had been cut down to less than 20 minutes.

This ad features Bela Lugosi in The Return of the Vampire, Invisible Ghost, and The Human Monster.; Christoper Lee in Taste the Blood of Dracula; Joan Crawford in Trog; FW Murnau's Noseratu with Max Schreck (I don't know why the title is changed to Terror of Dracula);
