Bruce - what do you base this on? $90K for Black Cat half sheet? Attack
of the 50ft Woman 3sh $21.5K? Cabinet of Dr Caligari lobby for $21.5K
etc. Seem pretty healthy to be me. I suppose the Raven 1sh 'only' went
for $44K, near the low estimate, but that is one ugly poster, with the
book taking up most of it. I've just had a quick glance at the horror
section and most pieces seem to have realised prices in the upper end of
the estimate if not above.
When it comes to the Universal horror stuff, aren't the high prices
simply case of supply vs demand?

I just had a chance to glance over the Heritage results, and, as usual there were around a dozen
unbelievable knock-your-socks-off high prices, and also a bunch of "better" results, and
they are to be congratulated. But it sure seems to jump out at me that the once
"invincible" horror/sci-fi genre was looking pretty puny!
This is in no way a "bash Heritage" post, as there is every reason to think I
(or any other dealer or auction house) might have realized the same or lower prices on
most or all of these.
But I can't believe this is just my imagination! Do others of you agree with me, and if
so, why do you think this is? Is it a one-time phenomenon, or is horror finally beginning
the slow decline that has afflicted so many other once "hot" categories?
While I personally love the top horror/sci-fi titles, the prices HAVE seemed "out of
whack" to me for some time (after all, for the price of a single 1930s Universal
one-sheet, you can have an entire COLLECTION in most other genres!).
What do YOU feel?
