Pressbooks (Horror, Sci Fi, Fantasy)

Movie Pressbook: The Skull (1965)

If only the movie, The Skull, were as exciting as this pressbook. The skull ring promotion is mouth-watering (okay, at least for me). And the tabloid herald, which I haven't seen, is printed in Day-Glo ink! I must find one! (You know the drill: Click each graphic to open in your browser, than click again to enlarge enough to read, then use your browser back button to return.)

Movie Pressbook: Battle Beyond the Sun (1959)

I want to see this movie. Not because of the scene photos, or the story synopsis, or the seat selling slants. I want to see this movie because this poster is awesome. It's pulpy goodness space opera with a Jetsons cartoony abandon. Cthulhu should look this good. The kicker is the astronaut being devoured in the background, then shift your gaze to the running astronaut in the foreground, looking back in horror. Wonderful.

Double Bill Pressbook:
Death Curse of Tartu and Sting of Death

This pressbook uses the calendar-style format. It's stapled at the top and you flip the pages up to view the Credits, Publicity, Advertising, and Exploitation sections. Maybe it's me, but I doubt Neil Sedaka's songs for Sting of Death "heighten shocking impact of underwater thriller." That jelly-fish headed man-suit looks suitably cheesy, though, so maybe I'm wrong. (Note: I left out some advertising ad mats).
