    Question What Do You Collect?

    I'd be interested to know what exactly you guys are collecting. Concentrating on any particular film of the quadrilogy, on a special area (posters for example), or maybe a particular country? I, for one, only collect original and officially licensed "Dawn" memorabilia from the German-language era; for three reasons: A) Germany had the broadest variety of promotional material for the film; B) it is of great sentimental value to me (I am Austrian and first saw "Dawn"/"Zombie" in a theater in 1980, at the age of 10 - of course, all the posters and lobby cards used over here came from the German distributor, Constantin Film); and C) some of the German stuff appears to be among the most sought-after/collectable international items. Over the last few years, I've managed to gather pretty much everything that is of real interest - all the different posters, lobby cards (not the two large ones, though), the super-rare red promo slide issued for in-theater use, an unread copy of the novelization, a complete set of the Super-8 reels, the banned "Marketing" videos and so on. The only thing I'm still missing is a truly Mint condition copy of the "Polydor" soundtrack LP.

    "I collect Spores, Mold and Fungus"


    Actually, I am poster collector. I have tons of Zombie movie posters, mostly the movies I really like. I do have afew LOTD posters, but thats because I like the posters. However, I have lots of DAWN 1978 and 2004 posters, my Night 90 quad, Shaun QUAD and US. DAWN 2004 QUAD and 6'x4' Subway banner (the banned UK version).

    I have a few trailers - Shaun, DAWN 04, LAND, ROTLD 1, ROTLD 2, Hellboy, and Slither.

    Japanese Programs for DAWN 04, and the Chirasi Posters for DAWN 2004.

    I collect...
    Romero Laserdiscs (NTSC only)
    Romero Sountracks
    Romero Toys
    Romero related autographs
    Romero related magazines and books
    Romero related DVDs and archived TV broadcasts

    About the only thing I do not supplement my GARchive with is posters, because I am married and not allowed to display such filth In my "lab" I have a Dawn print with several signatures on it, and I have a few autographed 8X10's up, and some figures on shelves.

    axlish is my hero!

    At the moment, I seem to be collecting way too much of my own artwork (paintings and scupltures *clay*) I have one room in my house that's for "creativity" and half of the basement FULL of stuff!! I'm thinking bout running an add and having some sort of auctin this summer. Maybe, have a local jazz band play out back and serve Mimosas and hors d'oeuvres.

    I've never been much into collecting things. Material things, that is. I love to browse through friends' collections and find it facinating, but, I never got into it.

    I collect nothing as far as the Dead films go. I just have the DVDs along with other DVD's that I collect. I also collect CDs and guitars/basses.
