I purchased a 65 gallon Rubbermaid locking lid tub at an estate sale that was full of Horror memorabilia. I did not go through the contents at the sale, as the price was right, and I was very pleased with the few pieces I did examine on top. Those pieces included rolled movie posters dating back to the 1960's, lobby cards, comics, books, some Rock and Roll items, etc. I was able to sell those items after researching them, however, that leaves me with the final items: autographed pamphlets from Horror Conventions, and a 1st edition copy of "Fangoria" magazine from 1979 that contains well over 20+ autographs.

I have been in touch with the editor at the time of the magazine's release, and he said that there was no 'Launch party' or anything, however the magazine did sponsor "Weekends of Horror" for fans to come out and meet the artists and actors responsible for their favorite Dracula, Zombie, or other horror films. Once the magazine was purchased by Creative Entertainment in the 1980's, these types of gatherings continued, and evolved into convention type extravaganzas. I believe that this is where this collector would have been able to gather as many autographs as they did on a single object.

I have uploaded 4 photos of the pages with most of the signatures. I would be very interested in your opinions as to whether they could be genuine, and if they are, what would be the process to have it appraised.

I appreciate your taking the time to review and scrutinize the signatures! 

I will be posting an Italian promotional release poster for 'Zombie 2' that has a signature on the

front ..... it does not appear to be close to any of the names of the actors in the film,

and starts off with a rather flamboyant capital "L".  The director of the film was Lucio Fulci. 

Again, many thanks for the input!

I'm unfamiliar with Lucio Fulci's signature and probably any actors who were in the film "Zombie 2", so I'm not able to give an opinion on the poster.

I appreciate the feedback ....
