Asylum Of Horrors
Window Card, This poster advertises "
Dr. Silkini and Company in Asylum of Horrors," a traveling midnight spook show. The show, created by stage magician Jack Baker (also known as Dr. Silkini), was a popular live performance that combined elements of horror, comedy, and magic. It featured skits, magic tricks, and "blackouts" with glowing ghosts and skeletons flying over the audience. The show also famously featured a live performer dressed as Frankenstein's Monster. The poster indicates this performance took place at the Loews Theatre in Syracuse, New York, for two days in November.
The show is considered influential in the history of horror entertainment, with a legacy that can be seen in later works like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the creation of funny TV horror hosts.
