Return of the Dragon

Clipped from The Macon Herald (GA) in 1972.

Today's Scrapbook Page Extra:
Drawing of "Five Fingers of Death"

I was a tender 13 when I drew this, looking at an image in The Monster Times. It was done in pencil, then I started to ink it in, but my black marker ran out. I only had two colors left: magenta and green.

Isn't it funny how many Monster Kids & horror film fanatics also became Kung Fu movie fanatics back then?
And yet those kids that just got into the Kung Fu film craze back then, never seemed to become new Monster Kids.Hmmm ...

Tru dat! Maybe Monster Kids are just naturally more intelligent and well-rounded? :)

Welcome to my vintage newspaper movie ad blog!

When I was younger I clipped out the ads of the movies I wanted to go see and put them in a scrapbook. I also enjoyed hunting through old newspapers I would find here and there, and saving the ads from those as well. Some that I've gleaned from relative's old closets and attics go back to the 50's!

Rather than let them sit there in the old notebook I saved them in, I decided I'd share them with you. Every single entry on this blog page are from actual newspaper clippings that I own and have scanned in, so click on any image to view biggie size.

Although this blog will mostly feature nostalgic vintage newspaper movie ads, I'll also throw in an occasional newspaper article about the movie that I found, as well as ads and items from various TV guides about movies and shows that I liked. And who knows what else? That dog-eared 37-year-old notebook is packed with goodies. Hopefully "Held Over!" will be fun to visit and will reawaken some of your own memories!
