Mexican Lobby Card:
Tarzan En Lucha A Muerte (?)
I don't know which screen Tarzan this Mexican lobby card is referring to. My guess is it's for the 1960s Tarzan television series (starring Ron Ely).
Azteca/Mexican Lobby Cards
Mexican Lobby Card:
Zombie Holocaust (1980)
Okay, I'm going to roast in hell for this one, but the contrast between the sex-sell and the horror-sell is too good to ignore. Feel free to add your own witty caption to this Mexican lobby card for (I believe) Zombie Holocaust.
Mexican Lobby Card: Chabelo y Pepito
Contra Los Monstruos
While I try to find a better condition Mexican lobby card for Chabelo Y Pepito Contra Los Monstruos (1973), enjoy the monsterkid fun of this one. The movie looks pretty wild on a budget, and there's even a gorilla!
Mexican Lobby Card: The Vindicator (1986)
The Mexican lobby card for The Vindicator, La Venganza De Terminator, seems to stretch the promotion a wee bit by hinting at The Terminator (1984). By the 1980s, Mexican lobby cards went to thin glossy paper and minimal creativity in their layouts. They got smaller in size, too, as the movies got smaller in budget.
Mexican Lobby Card: El Descuartizador (1991)
Otherwise known as a bad night in the jungle. Low budget movie, odd Mexican lobby card. Not sure how Viggo Mortensen and Leatherface figure into it, but I'm sure they don't appear in this movie. At all. I'm not even sure this is a scene in the movie.
Mexican Lobby Card: Las Vampiras (1969)
So, I'm thinking all female vampires should wear low-cut tights and elf boots. Great look. And comfortable for all the night-stalking they do. The sewn-on-to-the-arms satin bat wings lend a distinct touch, too.
Mexican Lobby Card: El Imperio Del Placer
And here's a little sword and sandal cheesecake for your Thursday. I'm not sure which Sybil Danning movie this one is, but I doubt it can live up to the illustration shown here.
Mexican Lobby Card: Samson (1961)
Here's a little peplum beefcake to brighten your Thursday. I find it odd the title shows "Sanson," but the movie's original title was Sansone. Perhaps the "e" was removed so he had room to flex those biceps better.
Leyendas Macabras De La Colonia
Mexican Lobby Card
Here's the large Mexican lobby card (the size of a mini-poster) for Leyendas Macabras De La Colonia (1974), Macabre Legends of the Colony, with Tinieblas, El Fantasma Blanco, and Mil Máscaras. Great inset scene. And yes, it's as wild as this card depicts. Luchadors, mummies (and one bitchin' dead mommy of a witch), Aztec warriors, and a painting that transports to colonial times to get some fighting done.
Mexican Lobby Card: Traficantes En Paris
Simple yet stunning visuals combined with an existentially tinged inset scene make this Mexican lobby card very eye-appealing and thought-provoking.
