Mexican Lobby Card: Not of This Earth
A low budget gem from Roger Corman, this movie always terrified me when I caught it on television in the 1960s. This Mexican lobby card captures the eerie terror quite well.
Not of This Earth 1957
Mexican Lobby Card:
Horrors of the Black Museum
Released in Hypno-Vision! Binoculars with eye-piercing spikes added for good measure.
Horrors of the Black Museum 1959
Mexican Lobby Card:
The War of the Gargantuas
Green hairy giant monster fights brown hairy giant monster, with Tokyo, once again, underfoot. Just go with it and its fun.
The War of the Gargantuas 1966
Mexican Lobby Card: Gorilla at Large
Movies with hairy apes menacing leggy women are a small staple of the horror genre. Fay Wray in King Kong made it fashionable to be dramatically carried away in big hairy arms, and the dramatic contrast between big grunting brute and fragile screaming lady is always good for a thrill, or a laugh, given the man-in-suit special effects of the time.
Gorilla at Large 1954
Mexican Lobby Card:
The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism
Torture? Torture? As Memorial Day and our Mexican Lobby Card Marathon draws to a close, at least these people didn't have to go to work the next day!
The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism 1957
Mexican Lobby Card: Frankenstein A La Italiana
The tagline to Bela Lugosi's Dracula is "the strangest love story ever told." No way. THIS is the strangest; and the kookiest Mexican lobby card I've see. And yes, the 1970s wasn't all that good for horror movies.
Frankenstein All'Italiania 1975
