This Mexican lobby card for El Pantano Siniestro (Shark River, 1953) is a treat. The action-packed illustration frames a dynamic inset scene from the movie, and the use of green and black inks on the off-white (although there is some tanning from age) heightens the visual appeal.
A beautiful Mexican lobby card for Hopalong Cassidy. Not sure if this one is for a movie or the television series.
Here's the striking Mexican lobby card for Badman's Territory (1946) with Randolph Scott.
The Mexican lobby card for El Gran Gorila (Mighty Joe Young).
The Mexican lobby card for the Republic Pictures serial Government Agents vs. Phantom Legion (1951).
Not sure if this is a Mexican lobby card for one of Chester Morris' Boston Blackie movies, but it's striking and easily grabs your attention.
The Mexican lobby card for Bloodlust! (1961). Great colors, illustrated terror, and a screaming fear inset scene. How can you go wrong?
Yes, The Happy Musketeers (1961) is a weird movie. For kids. Great child-friendly illustration too, especially the swooning woman shackled to the torture wheel. Kids love that stuff for sure.
The Italian production of La Ultima Presa Del Vampiro (The Playgirls and the Vampire) is considered the first horror movie to combine blatant sex with gothic horror (think nudie cutie with bite). Actually, it's not all bad, although the special effects are groan-inducing when seen today. But the story is good and the overall production shows care and attention. And it has playgirls! Oh, and a vampire, too. This unusual lobby card (done in window card style, although there's no room added for theater info) is striking in its simplicity and color choices. It took over two months to arrive from the eBay seller in Mexico, but I'm tickled pink to finally be able to share it with you. I hope you are, too.
This Curse of the Cat People Mexican lobby card is more melodramatic and intense than the movie. And no, there is no cowering, clothes-challenged, female victim in the movie. Sorry to disappoint you.
