Newspaper ads of your favorite horror films
Who knew these were collectable?
I first saw a newspaper movie ad last year when searching for pics of Tales From the Crypt. A little bit of sidetrack searching and I found movie advertisement newspaper clippings being bought and sold on eBay and I-offer. I have a few of these myself, saved from a few years back. When I get them framed, I’ll post them here.

I never even knew this sort of things existed. They look awesome. I love the ones on “The Birds” and “The Funhouse”. Sweet find dude!
When I was a young un’ we would open up the newspaper on Friday Night and see what movies were playing. The Ads either sold us or we skipped them. Mostly th ads were just modifications on the movie poster art but both are becoming a dying art form. Hell, I haven’t even bought a newspaper in years.
Wow, not seen anything quite like this before, great newspaper adds for these horror films!
We would go see horror movies based upon the ads in the newspaper, without ever seeing the trailer.
Yes, they were brilliant adds, really good images as well that make you really want to see the film.
I went through a phase in the 80’s where I had cut a bunch of these out of the newspapers and slapped them up on my bedroom walls in between all of the metal posters. I remember having ones for the first several Friday the 13th, Evil Dead 2, Reanimator, Lifeforce and a bunch of others.
Who knew they would capture a lost time in film history. These days few people (esp. young ‘uns) even look at newspapers anymore, nevermind see ads like these.
These are so cool.
Very cool thing to collect. Love when someone fiinds something “different” movie-related.
