The Leopard Men Mexican Lobby Card

/ Azteca/Mexican Lobby Cards / Leave a Comment

I'm not sure what movie this may be from, but the lobby card design indicates it could be anywhere from the 1930s to 50s. Dorothy Short did Call of the Savage in 1935, but I don't see a credit for Paul Gifford on IMDb; and the inset scene with Amazonian women looks more like a 1950s movie than earlier. Anyway, the card illustration is what drew me to these cards. That, and the Amazonian women, of course.

Swamp Women (1956)
Mexican Lobby Card

Not to be confused with Swamp Woman, Swamp Women was directed by Roger Corman and ridiculed on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I bet it still made money for the drive-ins that played it. Filmed on location in Louisiana, I'm not sure what was worse: the swamp the actors had to act in or the abandoned motel accommodations they had to endure. There's a future horror movie in that scenario I'd wager. This one's in the public domain, so you can probably watch it on YouTube. If you dare. Here's the pressbook to help you make up your mind.

The Loves of Hercules (1960)
Mexican Lobby Card

/ Azteca/Mexican Lobby Cards / Leave a Comment

Interesting title switch for this Mexican lobby card for The Loves of Hercules. La Venganza de Hercules implies the Mark Forest vehicle (although he plays Goliath, not Hercules), Goliath and the Dragon. Mickey Hargitay battles against the glamorous Queen Hippolyta who wants to turn him into a tree, and a three-headed dragon in the Underworld that just wants to eat him. I'll leave it up to you to decide which one is more dangerous. All I can say is Steve Reeves will always be MY Hercules. This is an enjoyably bad movie to be enjoyed in the company of fellow bad movie lovers.

First Men in the Moon (1964) Pressbook

/ Pressbooks (Horror, Sci Fi, Fantasy) / 1 Comment

Here's the pressbook for First Men in the Moon, another memorable Ray Harryhausen effects movie. Of course, CGI makes it all look very easy these days. While the science is off, the art direction is imaginative and the movie is fun to watch. Thanks to ZC reader Terry Michitsch for requesting this one: I thought I had posted it years ago. Yup, my organizing skills are awful and my closet is too big.

I saw Dr. Terror's House of Horrors on the big screen when it first hit theaters in the U.S. I was nine. It scared me. I avoided shrubs and bushes for a long time after that.
