++ Spook Show Posters :: Set 1 ++

+ [ p r o d u c t ] +
These old Spook Show posters are restored originals from the 1920's through until the early 1960's, they have been slightly aged and in some cases weathered or torn to give an appearance of realism. Other than handbills, these posters would have been large cardboard window cards, around 22" wide x 29" tall.

Spook Shows were live theatrical performances. During the 1920's, when vaudeville was waning, magicians sought to supplement their income with another type of magic performance. These performances captured the public's interest due to the popularity of spiritualism at the time. Communication with the dead was becoming fashionable. The magicians who created these "Spook Shows" used their existing illusions as well as additional methods, to conjure up "spirits" or "spooks" during these live performances. Hypnotism, seances and audience participation were commonplace. The shows were often held at movie theatres before or after the movie, the most popular time being "midnight" performances. Spook shows ran into the late 1950's and early 1960's. Most of these had become "Monster" performances by this time (people wearing monster suits).

Textures come with versions with transparent borders (marked by ), and non-transparent versions. The versions with the transparent border allow the images to all fit into a 1:1 ratio- this means any square prim surface can be perfectly textured with any poster with an label.

As there are still many difficulties with transparencies in SL, regular versions are included as well. These versions, however, must be resized to their own individual ratios for optimal viewing; these ratios are as follows:
