I haven’t a clue as to why this pressbook for the Finnish movie The Day the Earth Froze was in Zombos’ closet. It’s quite underwhelming, but the cover art, at least, is rather exciting, although I can’t fathom why the girl’s not dressed properly for the weather. Wait a minute…maybe that’s why…the cover’s cool, even if the movie isn’t.
In the 1960s and 1970s there was a fascination with shockumentaries: among them are Mondo Cane (1962), Africa, Blood and Guts (1970), Brutes and Savages (1977), Mondo Balordo (1968) , and Kwaheri: Vanishing Africa (1964). Of course, now you can just watch stuff like this on YouTube. This pressbook is quite impressive. From enticing poster art to using classified ads, balloons, post cards, and diverse "tie-ups" (product tie-ins) with Mobil Oil, Volkswagon, and Chevrolet, this pressbook provides the mojo to sell, sell, sell, this movie.

Another low budget outing from 1969, starring Gerald McRaney. Remember him from TV’s Simon and Simon? The poster art looks like they took a meat cleaver and…oh, wait, didn’t the killer use a meat cleaver in the movie? That explains it, then.

Is it just me or does this 11 x 17 inches pressbook scream Moebius Model Kit to you, too?
…
Great pressbook for a surprisingly effective B movie, The Monolith Monsters (1957). Extraterrestrial rocks growing amok concept provides the most interesting aspect of action for another movie: Superman Returns (2006).
