Spook show 40 x 60, silkscreen, Chasm of Spasms
was a "Midnite Spook Show" featuring a performer named Dr. Oogre Banshee. These types of shows were popular traveling theatrical events, often held at midnight in movie theaters, which combined a magic show with horror and comedy elements. The shows would involve a magician acting as a medium, with eerie sounds, objects moving mysteriously, and simulated spirits appearing in the dark.
The poster for the show is a piece of memorabilia from this era of traveling shows. |
