Neat, thank you.
I love to know how some of those looked, I had a lot of their prints when I first began. Most were pretty awful. I only remember WHITE ZOMBIE, and CONQUEST OF THE POLE being decent, with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD being just OK. All the Silent horror I bought was pretty wretched.
They went out of business while I was still ordering from them, and kept my $ for a print of BLUEBEARD, which I never got.
To add insult to injury, I later boxed up and mailed my ugly Niles prints along with my 200ft. silent Castle and Ken Films titles to sell through a third consignment party, and never heard from them again either.
My mother was about ready to insist I stop film-collecting at that point.

Niles catalogs seem to be harder to come by than a Blackhawk or Red Fox. I'd like to get a Griggs catalog someday too. I remember they had pretty crummy hand-rendered illustrations that were trying to look vintage, that nonetheless had some charm in their inaccuracy.
Speaking of bad film-collecting art. When I was weighing the next bunch of card images the put in The Monster Volume 3, was tempted to put this one in just because its' soo bad. In spite of the BLOOD ON HIS LIPS title, I'll guess this is actually a cut-down of HIDEOUS SUN DEMON? Anyway, here's the down-and dirty, unrestored image.
