Artwork of the Day: Billy The Kid vs Dracula (Artist Unknown)
Artist Unknown
This is from 1966. Unfortunately, the identity of the artist is unknown but I like the combination of cowboys and Dracula. Billy doesn’t look like much of a kid, though. I also like that the poster features the shadow of both Boot Hill and Dracula’s Castle in the lower left-hand corner, bringing to iconic places together for one movie.
Artwork of the Day: The Oracle (Artist Unknown)
Artist Unknown
This is from 1985 and I guess the lesson of this film is don’t play with cards that have “SATAN” written across the front of them. This poster actually looks like it could just as easily be the cover of a R.L. Stine or a Christopher Pike novel. Unfortunately, the identity of the artist responsible is unknown.
Artwork of the Day: Snake People (Artist Unknown)
Artist Unknown
This poster art is for a film that was released in 1971. I don’t know much about the movie but I know that snakes are scary, especially the big ones that slither on you while you’re relaxing in a coffin. Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the artist responsible for this memorable poster.
Beware The Tentacles Of October!
by John Newton Howitt
Are you scared of tentacles?
Whether they’re reaching down from the sky or coming out of the water, the idea of being grabbed and, even worse, squeezed by several slimy tentacles is a scary one! Perhaps that’s why it was such a popular image during the pulp age. Below is just a sampling of some of the era’s tentacle horror, courtesy of some of the best artists to work in the pulps!

Artwork of the Day: A Morning In October
by Erin Nicole
I took this picture a few years ago, on a foggy October morning. Usually, this is a normal-looking neighborhood but, on that morning, it looked creepy so I had to get out there with my camera and get some pictures of it all. We had many mornings like this that October. We’ll probably have even more this October.

Artist Unknown
With Halloween is right around the corner and the annual TSL Horrorthon starting tomorrow. this just feels like the right cover for today. Unfortunately, the identities of both the artist and the ghost are not known.
Artwork of the Day: Flush Times (by Robert McGinnis)
Artwork of the Day: New Man In The House (artist unknown)
Artist Unknown
This is from 1963. There’s a new man in the house and he’s serving drinks. It’s good to stay useful. The artist is unknown. I know it looks like there might be signature on the cover but I think that’s actually something that a previous owner wrote on it. Why anyone would ruin a cover by doing that, I don’t know. It actually makes me a little mad.
