Mexican Lobby Card: Watari, Ninja Boy
Watari, Ninja Boy (1966) looks like a movie I’d want to see. A little boy with a big axe to grind; let the action begin.
Mexican Lobby Card: Terror Sexo Y Brujeria (1968)
An odd amalgam of elements roughly illustrated, but they do fit the title for this Mexican lobby card for Terror Sexo Y Brujeria.
Double Bill Pressbook: The Man Without a Body and Fright
An interesting pressbook for The Man Without a Body (1957) and Fright (1956), "the twin terror show that tops them all." The cover is a quick cut and past job, but it does the trick, and there are two 4-page inserts, one for each movie, and each 11 x 17 inches in size.

Mexican Lobby Card:
Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy
Even though this Mexican lobby card for Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955) is in poor shape, there's still enough here to show their slapstick approach to dealing with this Universal Studios monster. That's an errant pen stroke and badly applied white-out in the Mummy's crotch area. Ouch. How it got there I'll never know.
French Pressbook:
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
This eye-grabbing 4 page French pressbook for Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is being auctioned on emovieposter.com (ends Sunday night). I was going to bid on it, but the bidding is hot and heavy, and going to a level I didn't expect. The centerfold impresses with its layout, especially with the red ink highlights.
Mexican Lobby Card: Daughter of the Jungle
I love the way this Mexican lobby card's illustration fills the card, and mimics the inset picture, a publicity shot for Daughter of the Jungle (1949), with Lois Hall as Ticoora.
Mexican Lobby Card: Devil Goddess
A vibrant use of red against white background (sure, it’s aged a bit), highlights this Mexican lobby card for Johnny Weismuller’s Devil Goddess (1955). I have a soft spot for jungle movies of the 1950s, so you will see many lobby cards from my collection for that genre. I make no apologies.
Mexican Lobby Card: Wild Racers
Notice anything peculiar about this Mexican lobby card for Wild Racers (1968)? Dude, stop looking at the girls and pay attention. Now, once again, notice anything that seems just a wee bit out of place here? I believe that’s Boris Karloff, slightly toasted, in the movie scene. The scene is from The Sorcerers (1968), I think. Fabian wasn’t in The Sorcerers. And Boris wasn’t in the Wild Racers. The gruesome scene and the 1960s pinkish sexy swinger motif don’t jibe, either. What gives? This is one of those lobby cards that stymies me. Are you stymied, too?
Mexican Lobby Card: La Casa Del Terror
Werewolf, fluttering bats, an ominous mansion in the background, and a great action shot from the movie keep this Mexican lobby card for La Casa Del Terror (1960) as lively as its colors. But wait…that's not a full moon, is it? Heresy! Another notable difference: the female victim the werewolf is carrying has her clothes and shoes on.
Mexican Lobby Card: Revolt of the Zombies
How can you not fall in love with this Mexican lobby card for Revolt of the Zombies (1936)? Question for you seasoned horror pros: In which part of the movie does Bela Lugosi lend his talents to?
