I just happened to have the local news on when I was eating my lunch. I really wasn't paying much attention to it, I was just using it for background noise. Then out of the blue came a story about a Hollywood memorabilia auction, my ears perked up. The next thing I heard was, "We found a stack of 'Creature From the Black Lagoon' scripts with notes from the actors in them." I spit out my food......Holy Crap!!!
Yes, laterally thousands of rare items from Hollywood's golden age are set to go on the auction block starting tomorrow (Dec. 12, 2008). The items range from employment contracts for Joan Crawford, Abbott and Costello, James Cagney, Cary Grant, W.C. Fields, Alfred Hitchcock and Boris Karloff, to movie props, like the "United Planets Cruiser C-57D" from "Forbidden Planet."
Many of these items are scheduled to be sold in lots (more than one item) starting as low as $200-$300.
Here are a couple of lots that may be of interest to Monster Island News readers:
Giant monsters and savage beasts – Scripts from 16 films
Dinosaurs & cavemen - Scripts from 12 films including Dinosaurs!
Large lot of 600+ lobby cards and posters from various science fiction films, Asylum to Godzilla
Large lot of 700+ lobby cards and posters from various science fiction films, Golden Voyage of Sinbad to Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
Four one-sheet science fiction posters from Godzilla vs The Thing, Ghidrah: The Three-Headed Monster and Spaceways
I found those items by searching for "Godzilla" on the auctions website - HERE
There is a full catalog of the items that will be auctioned in pdf format at the website that can be either viewed or downloaded.
The schedule for Worldwide bidding, which can be placed in person, via mail, phone, fax or live on the Internet via eBay Live Auctions (www.ebayliveauctions.com) or (www.LiveAuctioneers.com) is as follows:
