Large Original RAY-MOND Voodoo Show Poster Hand Painted - 1950s Ghost Horror For Sale

RARE Large Original Ray-Mond “Voo-Doo Show” Hand-Painted Ghost Show Theater Poster / Sign, 1950s Magic and Horror “Show of 1001 Horrors” - Spook Show

This is a large (56\"x38\") vintage hand-painted theater poster for Ray-Mond’s “Voo Doo Show,” the magic-and-horror midnight spook show he toured in the 1950s. It’s a one-of-a-kind lobby board with Ray-Mond’s name in bold lettering, built to be reused at each stop on the circuit.

Ray-Mond’s Voodoo Show

• Ray-Mond (Raymond Corbin) was one of the leading ghostmasters of the post-war spook show era
• The Voo Doo Show followed his “Zombie’s Jamboree” and toured theaters around 1953–54
• It was billed as a stage full of blood-spattered thrills, with monsters and ghouls running loose through the audience
• The board’s line “Ghosts and Ghouls Leave the Stage and Sit With You!” appears word for word in Ray-Mond’s 1954 newspaper promotion for the show

Built for the Road

• Painted panels at upper right for the date, door time, and show time, filled in for each engagement
• A “Plus on the Screen” panel at the bottom for that night’s feature film
• “One Show Only,” “Tickets on Sale Now,” and “Avoid Standing in Line” for the theater’s advance sale

Provenance

• Purchased from an estate sale in Pennsylvania, together with a hand-painted Ray-Mond “Zombie’s Jamboree” board dated to September 1951 (also listed)
• Both boards are painted on matching board stock
• Likely from an Ohio or Pennsylvania theater that booked Ray-Mond’s shows more than once

Details

• Hand-lettered in cream, yellow, white, and red on a black ground
• “On the Stage / Show of 1001 Horrors / ‘Ray-Mond’ and His Terrifying Voo Doo Show”

Condition:

Why It Matters

• It makes a dramatic Halloween display piece with real spook show history
