Mexican Lobby Card: Robot Monster

Here's another version of the Mexican lobby card for Robot Monster, El Monstruo De Marte. The lobby cards are definitely much more exciting than the movie. I'm guessing the inset scene shows the gorilla with the rabbit ears–you youngin's go google "rabbit ears"–choking some poor actor who realized this movie was really really bad and wanted out. But with a few Red's Apple Ale (or any suitable hard cider of your choice), this movie's a wild hoot of fun (on a par with Spookies or The Video Dead).

Go to Part 1.

Nice amount of promotional tie-in for Gorgo: see the Special Book Editions page for tie-ins to Famous Monsters of Filmland, Charlton Comics (I loved Charlton Comics!), and a movie novelization. Gorgo is one of the better Bs coming out of the 1960s mostly because of the storyline, with an appealing theme of a mom just wanting to protect  her child. And what a big mother she is.
