I really miss those huge drive-in newspaper ads. Thanks for the find!

The drive-in movie ads alone are (heh) worth the price of admission.

As a horror fan, I like the concept, but this site tantalizes. The site is a list of dead-ends when it provides no information about the source of an image, whether that source be film, print, or something else.
Almost but not quite.

Not to rag on Tumblr, but that's sort of their wheelhouse: eye-catching images that can be easily retumbled by others, also free of context. You're not looking for click throughs with this blog format, basically.

...But when click-throughs DO turn out to be there, it's a pretty awesome bonus.

I have no idea how these people got their horror images wedged into their scanners, or why.
