Boo-Hooray is pleased to present our 60th shortlist on the work of George A. Romero and his Pittsburgh Collaborators. The shortlist gathers gathers scripts and production materials from a crucial figure of American independent and horror cinema, documenting the creative development and production of some of his most celebrated works, along with materials from the wider Pittsburgh film community which he nurtured and worked in. Romero is best known for laying the foundation for the modern horror genre—particularly zombie films. His 1968 film Night of the Living Dead is celebrated as a landmark of horror film that invented the modern zombie. For Romero, the zombie film was not just the good fun of blood and guts, but could also serve as a subversive cultural critique of mass society.

Boo-Hooray is pleased to present our 22nd antiquarian catalog, dedicated to the feminist movement of the 1960s to 1980s.

Klaus Nomi, (January 22, 1944 – August 6, 1983), was a German-born vocalist and performance artist with roots in opera, as well as close friend and collaborator to Joey Arias. 

Nomi’s aesthetic sensibility, strongly expressed through his unique garb, set the standard for downtown and New Wave style. The costumes included in this collection are emblematic of his style, and all are unique and designed specifically for Nomi. Many of the pieces were fabricated after Nomi’s designs by costumer Jimmy Meyer, who worked in theater, and Katy K, best known for her fantastical Western-inspired pieces. These 11 pieces, all in excellent condition, are unique documents of his artistic vision and the ways in which his costuming was at the cutting edge of downtown fashion.

Please send inquiries, including for pricing for complete collection, to info@boo-hooray.com. Items will be shipped at cost.

Boo-Hooray is pleased to present our fifty-fifth shortlist, dedicated to fashion and costumes.
