Mexican Lobby Card:
The Deadly Wrestling Hold (1990)
The Deadly Wrestling Hold, La Llave Mortal, is promoted in a Mexican lobby card that uses two inset fight scenes for half of the lobby and illustration for the other half.
Mexican Lobby Card:
The Invisible Terror (1969)
I'm not sure who the artist is here, for this The Invisible Terror Mexican lobby card, but this minimalist illustration always catches my eye.
Mexican Lobby Card:
Aventuras Del Latigo Negro (1961)
Beautiful blend of colors, illustration, and inset scene make this Mexican lobby card for Aventuras Del Latigo Negro a sophisticated promotional piece. (See another great Latigo Negro lobby here.)
Mexican Lobby Card:
Curucu, Beast of the Amazon (1956)
Beast of a movie is more like it. Curucu, Beast of the Amazon is an awful mess of editing, direction (Curt Siodmak), and acting, which make this one a terror to watch. Monster is laughable. From IMDb: "Director Curt Siodmak said of this film, "I shot it down there [in Brazil], in the jungles. I never recovered, physically." Neither did the audience.
Mexican Lobby Card:
House of Frights (1963)
Light-hearted illustration with pastel colors makes this La Cas De Los Espantos Mexican lobby card a good teaser for the movie. Is it just me or does the inset scene remind you of a Jack Kirby drawn panel in the way the women are positioned and emoting?
Mexican Lobby Card:
The Body Snatchers (1956)
A wrestler is forced to swap brains with a gorilla, the usual mayhem ensues: Ladron De Cadaveras, The Body Snatchers. This Mexican lobby card is unbalanced with the floating heads added in the top left corner, but from bottom left to top right, there’s a more stylized flow showing.
Mexican Lobby Card: Fury Unleashed (1957)
Great illustration and colors make this Mexican lobby card for Furias Desatadas, Fury Unleashed, a winner.
Mexican Lobby Card: Dynasty of Dracula (1980)
La Dinastia Dracula, Dynasty of Dracula, has a very effective Mexican lobby card.
