Classic Horror and Sci-Fi Poster Collection at the PEM 0

[Dick Pontoon]

So it's not OA, but some of you folks might be interested. The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem MA is putting 90 of Kirk Hammett's classic Sci-Fi and horror movie posters on exhibit. It opens in a few days.

A good chunk of his collection was on display at the departure lounge in San Francisco airport when I was there a few years ago (waiting for a connecting flight to LA).  Some terrific stuff (all in display cabinets) and something I wasn't expecting to come across.  Best airplane wait I've ever had . . .

If it wasn't such a long haul, I'd seriously make the drive in a heartbeat.

I went to the show yesterday morning. It was fantastic, even better than expected, lots of big uns, not just one-sheets, plus props, guitars, a few statues, toys and a 50s/60s living room installation, 3 or 4 Basil Gogos originals from Famous Monsters plus 3 Frazetta originals. I’m sure I’ll go back and will take some pictures when I do.

When the collection was on display at San Francisco airport my camera was packed away in my suitcase!  There was even a Luminoid mask from The Ouer Limits episode, 'A Feasibility Study' (I'm a big OL fan, so that was a real biggie for me).
