Well it seems the time has come to join the internet age and start blogging in time for Halloween. The reason... well amongst a small group of friends I have there is some healthy competition to find the best Halloween gifts, and also the earliest date Halloween decorations hit the high street. So this blog will serve as a chance to share such finds year by year, but also go over the gifts of Halloween past and share some rarities too. So to start things off, here is an original poster book from 1978 promoting George A. Romero's "Dawn Of The Dead" movie. It was given to me a couple of years ago by renowned Hollywood make up artist and sometime actor Tom Savini in a bookstore in London. I had no prior knowledge of his trip to said store and was just killing some time before catching a train home. Tom Savini had a whole box of these poster books all in mint condition that he had apparently cleared out of George Romero's garage.
