Mexican Lobby Card: Masterson of Kansas
Here's the Mexican lobby card for one of director William Castle's non-horror movies, Masterson of Kansas (1954).
Mexican Lobby Card:
Black Belly of the Tarantula
Black Belly of the Tarantula (1971) Mexican lobby card; a cut and paste effort that sums the movie's premise well enough.
Mexican Lobby Card: Phantom Caravan
Phantom Caravan, 1954. Private detective mixes it up with murderous Indian sect–in Switzerland.
Mexican Lobby Card: El Infierno Del Placer
This has to be the oddest Mexican lobby card I have in my collection. The illustration reminds me of those garish and primitive-art Carnival Midway banners used to hype attractions. I recall those banners also hyped the more risque attractions, too.
Skabenga! The Killer Lust (1955) Pressbook
I didn't know "Skabenga" meant money at the box office, but this pressbook believes so. I'm still not sure why jungle movies were so popular in the 1950s, but they were. I can't find any information on this movie, but here's the pressbook to fill you in.

Movie Pressbook: Race With the Devil
Some minor cuts, one blank page, and a loose page I'm not sure where it fits , but still an interesting pressbook for a memorable movie. No page numbers are given. Shown here, I moved the publicity pages up, which normally come toward the end, to grab your attention (if Lara Parker doesn't, that is).
Mexican Lobby Card: Planet of the Apes
This Planet of the Apes Mexican lobby card is not from my collection, but it was being offered on eBay by Channingposters. My father took me to the theater in 1968 to see this movie. Funny, but he would take me to all the science fiction movies while my mom took me to all the horror movies. Of course, it all made me pretty well rounded; just a shame we never could go all together.
