Memorabilia part 2, The Exterminator 1 & 2.

Here's an update on all my Exterminator stuff. I had a previous post, but it's no longer there. So let's start with the US One Sheets from both movies: (There's still one missing, the lobby card poster)

Here's the giant French poster for The Exterminator:

Exterminator 2:

Here's a couple of UK Quads. I like the one my girlfriend bought me, the split one with The Postman Always Rings Twice.



The following one is an Australian one. I still need to pick up the One sheet some day.

And the German one sheets:


What else do we have...here's the Exterminator 2 Press Kit:

The Exterminator Promo fold out. (4 pages of names and some pictures)

The Exterminator German Lobby Cards:

More German lobby Cards, different size, a bit smaller and complete set:

Exterminator 2 Lobby Cards:


That's about it for now, there's a few more signed pictures by Robert Ginty and Mario Van Peebles and there's the script and VHS and DVD sleeves. I'll include some pics in an update when some new stuff has arrived.

Memorabilia part 1: Belgian Cinema Posters.

During the next days or weeks, i'll be uploading my entire poster collection on here.
Starting with the Belgian Cinema posters. Yes, a lot of them are pretty messed up, but that's the way I like em. They actually come from old neighbourhood movie theatres, some have been saved from cellars, some are saved from the trash. Some are in great condition. I gotta add that some of the ripped ones look pretty amazing framed.
Here's a couple of horror posters such as the Belgian Dawn of the Dead posters. The second one is in shitty condition but I picked it up anyway.

Up next a couple of sleazy European gems. These were always on the bill as midnight screenings during the weekends. European sex and violence galore. These posters would end up on a big pile in the backroom and ever sunday after a double bill of action and horror they were handed out. I picked these up recently while going through a pile of 2200 posters.

Here are couple more of the heavily wounded. I own some of these since the mid eighties and they've been through hell!

And some more....


Here's another one I found recently, one of my favorites at the moment. NightHawks starring Sylvester Stallone, Rutger Hauer and Joe Spinell.


Still with me? Here're a couple more. These are framed ones hanging or standing all over the appartment. Some more favorites.
First one is starring Brigitte Lahaie, I'm collecting everything with her I can get my hands on. I think she's special.

Ah and this one...William Lustig's Vigilante, signed by the man himself! I'll be meeting Fred Williamson soon, so I'll have him sign it as well.

I was lucky with the following one. I was at a birthday party last november at a friend's house, and he had this one hanging outside with duct tape as decoration for the party. I had to rescue it!

Here's a cool one...there were thousands of these back in the day, but I had a hard time tracking one down in recent years. People have offered me some crazy amounts of money for it, but I can't part with it. For me personally, it's a historical piece, because it's one of the first ones that grabbed my attention at the local theatre. I've spent hours standing outside the theatre staring at this poster and lobby cards. I saw it years later on a big screen, and I'm kinda glad I didn't see it at the age of seven or eight, I would have crapped my pants for sure.


Here're a couple of French ones:
The Evil Dead:

Exterminator 2 (These were used in Belgian and French theaters)

Oh, and talking about Exterminator 2, i'll be posting a Exterminator memorabilia super blog soon.
Okay, last one for now...Another one from the 2200 pile. And again starring Brigitte Lahaie.


Brittish Quads, US One Sheets, German One Sheets, Giant French posters, Lobby Cards and plenty more, coming soon!

Weekend of Horrors...Horrors...

I got a couple of e-mails recently with the question if I will return to Weekend of Horrors in Bottrop, Germany.
The answer is no.

As some of you are aware, the last edition wasn't the best experience thanks to the amazing staff and organizers. Not only did they make me look like an asshole, while I was outside giving a small demonstration, the retarded bitch they hired as "security/staff" who was supposed to watch my table, took off and half of my shit got stolen. So, no, never again. I'm glad there's more people complaining about those people behind that convention. But it's their story to be told.

Anyway, I'm glad to say things are starting to look pretty good here in Belgium, as we will have our very first horror/sci/fi convention on the first of may. Check it out...the first guests are announced and they're none other as Ruggero Deodato and Fred "The Hammer" Williamson.

See you there!

Coming Attraction

Here's a little teaser for a coming attraction. Can't give too much away, but it's something for promotional use on the net. Shoot was great fun, and always good to get the Captain out of the suitcase from time to time.



I'm hoping the final result will be online somewhere this month.
