    Description

    Best THE LOST BOYS Vampires Horror Film Movie Opening Day AD 1985 L.A. Newspaper
    (Note: additional images are located below the description)
    Offered is an original, historic, & collectible old newspaper: LOS ANGELES TIMES, July 31, 1987
    * Best "The Lost Boys" film advertisement
    * Grand Opening Day movie premiere
    * Horror comedy - Vampires - cult classic
    A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hit "The Lost Boys" and perhaps no better issue could be found than this, the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication.
    Note: Where else might one find authentic, poster-size ads for Opening Day showings, in the most desirable Hollywood-area newspaper - as we were lucky enough to obtain this (and others) indirectly from the Los Angeles Times' own collection? It simply doesn't get any better! In over 40 years of collecting, we have yet to see such unique & dramatic coverage with truly top-shelf, eye-catching displayability (see images).
    Page 7 of section VI has a terrific, full page poster-like advertisement for the film printed on it's opening day. (see).
    A quite rare issue as it would not have been saved since it contains no historically significant content. Present are the complete sections 1 and VI totaling 60 pages. Minor creasing, nice condition.
    Please Note: All of our offerings are 100% authentic! We do not offer reprints or reproductions of any kind. They are guaranteed to be original!

    If multiple items are purchased and paid for simultaneously
    , the S&H will be calculated by using
    the highest item's S&H as the base cost
    , and then adding for each additional newspaper. The per-item additional cost for folders, portfolios, and presentation cases vary.
    All U.S. orders include in-house insurance at no additional cost to the buyer.
    All U.S. bound orders include delivery confirmation (if sent by USPS) and/or tracking (if sent by UPS).
