The Terror (1963 Pressbook
Another large format pressbook for a Roger Corman movie. Looks like they spent more money on this than the movie.

The Treasure of Jamaica Reef (1974)
Mexican Lobby Card
Fascinating illustration: the shark is not so much a reflection in the diver's mask, as it first appears, but the position over his left eye implies they are "eye to eye," which creates tension, danger, and interest to see the movie.
Starcrash (1978)
Mexican Lobby Card
Starcrash (1978). The exciting promotion art shown here does not match the energy of the movie; or budget; or thematic excitement. It also rips off the Star Wars spaceships and original poster artwork.
Mexican Lobby Card: Superman Contra El Hampa
This one is not in my collection–yet. It sold at a Heritage Auction. While we watched Superman with George Reeves on television, the episodes were packaged as movies for audiences outside the U.S.
Mansion of the Doomed (1976)
Mexican Lobby Card
One of the video nasties, when the UK fretted over such things, a doctor keeps taking eyes without asking. His daughter can't see what all the fuss is about. Richard Basehart plays the crazed doctor and Lance Henriksen lends a scalpel. The artwork on this very larger Mexican lobby card, printed on thin slick paper, is sophisticated in both style and fear factor and is from the US poster art.
Scream in the Night (1935) Pressbook
Note the "Fans like to be critics" blurb in the Exploitation section. They got that right 😉
