NEW YORK — Halloween ranks among the biggest holidays in the vintage collectibles market, second only to Christmas. Halloween-themed offerings range from the whimsical to the downright scary. Movie monster figures, dolls and build-your-own-creature model kits have long been popular with Halloween-focused collectors. The material has evolved from toys built by and played with by children to purpose-made holiday keepsakes that can bring hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars at auction.
NEW YORK — The year 2021 marks several anniversaries for classic monsters and horror films. At Halloween — or anytime, really — it’s fun to explore movie posters and collectibles featuring the characters that have sent shivers up the spines of generations of movie-goers.
NEW YORK (AP) – Bruce Springsteen, Hugh Jackman, Sir Elton John, Bette Midler, Christine Baranski, Steve Martin and Tina Fey have all raided their closets to offer up personal items for an April 28 charity online auction, with one prize being a key prop from the worldwide smash musical The Phantom of the Opera. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.
