Mexican Lobby Card
The 1970s produced two memorable vampire characters (and their actors) within a contemporary setting: Count Yorga and Blacula.
Blacula 1972
Mexican Lobby Card: Rififi A Go-Go
I fell in love with this. Again, striking use of greenish colors to denote danger and evil, and contrasted against the frilly dressed Go-Go girls and the bright colors spotted above a black background, this is a beautifully executed composition of exploitation with style. Certainly, much more artfully done than Al Adamson's movies.
Psycho a Go-Go 1965
Mexican Lobby Card: The Last Days of Pompeii
I grew up wishing I could look like Steve Reeves. Every Sunday I'd watch him on the local TV station (I think it was WOR 9) and dream of women swooming at my sandaled feet. Now I mostly dream of having more hair. Times change.
The Last Days of Pompeii 1959
Mexican Lobby Card: Headless Eyes
Right about now, are family and friends around the barbie starting to make you want to gouge your eyes out? What with them drinking all your dark beer and eating up all your jumbo shrimp, you may want to feast your eyes on the upcoming eye-popping artwork and questionable exploitation practices coming up as the Zombos’ Closet Mexcian Lobby Card Marathon continues…
Headless Eyes 1971
Mexican Lobby Card: Destination Moon
Gorgeously pulp-style layout on this Mexican lobby card says 1950's science fiction movie all over it.
Destination Moon 1950
Mexican Lobby Card: The Terror
The first horror movie I saw in a theater. I was 7 years old. All I remember is sitting between my parents in the dark, and watching this woman melt at the end. Yuck. I liked it! I hear there's a remake in the works. Yes, I wonder why, too. But as long as the ending has a woman melting, I'll be okay with it.
The Terror 1963
Mexican Lobby Card: El Secreto De Pancho Villa
I draw your attention to the figure on the far right of the movie scene: What the hell is he?
El Secreto De Pancho Villa 1957
Mexican Lobby Card: El Misterio De La Cobra
Greenish colors used on facial featues denote sinister, evil, and not to be trusted men. Big snakes denote—ummm, nevermind. I'll just leave that one up to you to figure out.
El Misterio De La Cobra 1960
