Pressbooks (Horror, Sci Fi, Fantasy)
Movie Pressbook:
Horror On Snape Island (1972)
See my review of this little rough gem before you read the pressbook. Or not. (But the pressbook does contain spoilers, so you are warned.) I moved the pages around to bring the newspaper ad mats toward the end, but all 8 pages are here for this 11 x 17 inches pressbook.

The ad campaigns for both movies do not showcase the films together as a double bill, so this pressbook is something of an oddity.

This 11 by 14 inches British pressbook for To the Devil a Daughter is printed on heavy stock paper, has a full-color cover, and the interior page layout is well done. In other words, this pressbook wasn't cheap to produce. Please note there is one picture showing Nastassja Kinski nude from the front.
