Vintage Halloween Movie Newspaper Ads

Twitter is good for many things:  Keeping up with what Ashton and Demi are doing (what WILL they photograph themselves doing NEXT?!), acting as a digital soapbox for unfiltered thoughts from the masses ("OMG Who made rainy days! :( ") and sharing vintage horror, sci-fi and grindhouse newspaper ads.  Wait whaaaaaa---?

I discovered a Twitterrererer called @StartsTodayFans who posts TwitPics of various black and white scans of old movie ads from newspapers. It's a digital time capsule that you don't have to bury in the ground... and then dig up to look at.

What caught THIS Halloween Addict's eye was that for the past week @StartsTodayFans has been posting Halloween-season-related ads of films running on or near Halloween in October.  Plus there's unknown gems like "Kung Fu Halloween" (which I just HAVE to find now) and, of course John Carpenter's Halloween midnight showings.

I can remember when I was a teen (tween?) checking the last two pages of my local paper's Entertainment section to stare wide-eyed over the movie listings and little fuzzy B&W images and tag lines and these really take me back to that time.
Click the pics for bigger versions (and to be able to read show times if you're driving a DeLorean time machine).  There's also a MySpace page for StartsTodayFans too HERE that has a Blog section to catch up on what has come before so you can check out more gems like Amityville Horror showings, Drive-In double features and more film geek goodies.
Now off to fine Kung Fu Halloween...

UPDATE:  The wonderful horror blog KinderTrauma.com did an interview with Lynn from Starts Today HERE!
