Mexican Lobby Card: The Space Giants
I'm not sure, but this may be a Mexican lobby card for a theatrical version of the television series, The Space Giants (1967).
The Return of Count Yorga (1971)
Mexican Lobby Card
According to Wikipedia, a third movie for Count Yorga was planned but didn't happen. A shame. Robert Quarry's Count was a solid updating of the vampire character, as was Blacula, for contemporary times. I can't help but think Dan Curtis and his Barnabas Collins helped pave the way for these movies.
The Return of Count Yorga 1971
Mexican Lobby Card: Jack El Destripador
The IMDb lists this as a 25 minute short movie. Although Paul Naschy is named on this lobby card, I didn’t see his name in the credits list for this movie on IMDb; neither in his movie credits list. Odd.
Jack El Destripador 1980
Mexican Lobby Card: La Maldicion De Frankenstein
Jesus Franco strikes again. With a sketch-like composition of elements, this Frankenstein Monster illustration appears on other Mexican lobby cards, but I’m not sure yet if it is the work of a Spanish artist. It is quite striking in color and composition.
Mexican Lobby Card: Phantom Ship
Here's a terrific Mexican lobby card for Phantom Ship, a 1935 film production from Hammer Studios, starring Bela Lugosi. Guess who's the key selling point for seeing this movie.
Mexican Lobby Card: Atom Age Vampire
Atom Age Vampire (1960): a stripper, a scientist, an accident, and much mayhem ensues. The Italian horror movies of the 1960s are a hoot. This Mexican lobby card is particularly well organized, giving us a feeling of terror that rises above the level it has in the movie.
Mexican Lobby Card: Silent Night, Bloody Night
Silent Night, Bloody Night (Night of the Dark Full Moon, 1972) Mexican lobby card. I'm always reminded of the Night Gallery episode with Patrick O'Neal and that spider…I hate spiders, too.
I met Patrick O'Neal at a daylong seminar given by some Guru, at some institute in upstate New York, quite some years ago. I forget much of the event. Beyond the uncomfortable sitting posture for hours on end (no chairs), the tasteless vegan lunch (lots of sprouts and green things), and me and Mr. O'Neal standing in an interminable line to get to those sprouts and green things, I've buried much of the experience deep beneath my subconscious. I was dragged to it by a friend, who was motivated to do the dragging by her friend, who liked me a lot. I wonder where they are now.
I recall Mr. O'Neal seemed as perplexed as I was, but I don't know which friend of his dragged him to the event.
