Jim, What is the image on the 6-sheet. THIS ISLAND EARTH had some great art for its posters. Fun movie too. Any film with an Interocitor can't be bad!

I'm sure something similar happened to many of us, particularly when we were younger and out stuff was subject to the whims of parents. I moved around a lot in my late teens and twenties and once stupidly left a trunk of my stuff at a friends house until I could get settled. His mother decided to clean out his closet and of course my trunk went into the dumpster. Inside, among other things, was a one sheet for EARTH Vs. THE FLYING SAUCERS and... wait for it... a six-sheet for THIS ISLAND EARTH (ouch). Has anyone ever seen a 6-sheet for THIS ISLAND EARTH? I never have... not since the day I put mine in that damn trunk. -- JR Michael Spampinato wrote: When I was around 12 years old our house was almost 100 years old and the attic was never really touched. When the time came to gut it and insulate it, add a floor (you had to walk between the beams) etc they cleared out a ton of old stuff. But what I found up there was a rolled up piece of paper. Upon opening it I was looking at a one-sheet from Lon Chaney Sr's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. It was a beautiful poster in beautiful condition. I still remember the colors. I stored it away rolled in "my cabinet" which, a few years later, my mother apparently decided to clean. Bye bye PHANTOM. In later years when I started collecting old film posters I scoured the place for that poster just in case. No luck. I was already a huge film buff (as mentioned in the Expanding Hobby thread) with a tremendous affinity for the old horror and sci-fi films, and I actually recognized this as something special. I think this find sank deep in my subconscious and help steer me to collecting old horror and sci-fi posters. Anyone else have one that got away? Pov May the holes in your collection be filled.
