Azteca/Mexican Lobby Cards

Mexican Lobby Card:
The Playgirls and the Vampire

The Italian production of La Ultima Presa Del Vampiro (The Playgirls and the Vampire) is considered the first horror movie to combine blatant sex with gothic horror (think  nudie cutie with bite). Actually, it's not all bad, although the special effects are groan-inducing when seen today. But the story is good and the overall production shows care and attention. And it has playgirls! Oh, and a vampire, too. This unusual lobby card (done in window card style, although there's no room added for theater info) is striking in its simplicity and color choices. It took over two months to arrive from the eBay seller in Mexico, but I'm tickled pink to finally be able to share it with you. I hope you are, too.

Mexican Lobby Card: Crimen En La Selva

The Mexican lobby card for Hell's Headquarters (1932). Lots of color, violence, and, of course, the requisite semi-clothed female victim to spice things up. But only on the lobby card. I don't think the movie is as exciting.
