A high-quality, authentic example of a cult horror icon's signature on her most famous poster art. Ideal for genre enthusiasts.

$40.00 - $65.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Consistent with known 'convention-style' signatures where she signs quickly but maintains the structural loops of the 'L' and 'a'.
Authentication Tips
Look for the specific 'xo' flourish and the way the 'a' in Lisa trails into a long horizontal strike through the middle of the name.
Certification Recommendation
JSA (James Spence Authentication) or Beckett (BAS) - Witnessed or standard horror genre authentication.
Red Flags
No significant red flags observed; the ink adhesion and stroke overlap are consistent with a manual autograph.
Provenance Notes
Likely obtained at a horror convention (e.g., Texas Frightmare or Monster-Mania); look for a matching event badge or photo op.
Historical Context
Prom Night II is a cult classic of 80s slashers; Schrage's role as Mary Lou Maloney is iconic within the horror community.
Market Trends
Stable; 80s 'Scream Queens' have a dedicated cult following that keeps demand consistent among genre collectors.
Investment Potential
Low to Moderate; a great staple for a horror collection but unlikely to see massive appreciation.
