This is the Mexican lobby card for The Ghastly Ones (1968). Or, as Stephen King states in his book Danse Macabre, “the work of morons with cameras.” I don’t think that would sell as a movie title, but oddly enough, it does fit quite a few horror movies quite well. I imagine no one would go see The Work of Morons with Cameras unless it was a funny and compelling compilation movie, though, come to think of it, that’s one hell of a midnight movie title. The lobby card, however, does give enough sexy, ghastly, hey-that’s-a-big-knife, and-is-that-a-head-in-a-pot vibe to entice unwary patrons. Which, of course, is not to be confused with pothead, a term many of you, I’m sure, were familiar with back in the 60s.
