Vampiros Nocturnos?
Mexican Lobby Card

I'm not sure what movie this Mexican lobby card is for, but I wager it's Big Town After Dark (1947). Although Robert Lowery (Batman and Robin), who is listed on the card, doesn't show as being in this movie (according to IMDb). The card itself sports a superbly dark and scary illustration, one which I doubt depicts anything in the movie, though.

Door to Door Maniac (1966)

Five Minutes to Live (1961), also known as Door to Door Maniac (AIP's re-release in 1966), stars Johnny Cash. I'm not familiar with the movie but Wikipedia states it's a cult classic. I see it is also available on YouTube. What drew my attention to the movie was this Mexican lobby card 5 Minutos de Vida, which combines primitive but strikingly stylish images with an action inset scene. The colors used also gripped my attention.
