Mexican Lobby Card: Robot Monster (1953)

More bizarre than peanut butter and Jiffy Lube (wait, I got that right?), comes El Monstruo De Marte, or Robot Monster for short. A movie even Ed Wood would be stymied by. It simply defies description. Imagine a movie beyond bad, beyond logic, and beyond any common sense you care to throw at it. You must see it. You must! The power of trashy, hilarious cinema compels you! And yes, even more bizarre, is the lobby card that someone actually had to, just had to, pencil in the outline of the beast shown in the scene photo. Mind you, this was done before the card went to print. You've got a gorilla-suited guy with a skull for a head (in the illustration anyway) wearing a diving-like helmet with rabbit ears. Who the *F* cares about the lizard in the photo?
