Big Four Feature Unit Shows! from AIP. Gone are the days when people sat in movie theaters for a good part of their day, catching a feature, a newsreel, some cartoons, a second feature, and some popcorn; or at least a double-feature.  The last time I sat for a bunch of movies back to back was when they did a marathon with Planet of the Apes at the Benson theater in Brooklyn. I loaded up on McDonald’s, bought my ticket, laughed, cried, and basically enjoyed the hell out of watching the movies back to back. Of course, my prostate was smaller then, so no problems with missing any of the action.

Here’s a down and dirty ad mats promotion for the five packages, each with four themed movies, courtesy of It Came From Hollywood. Take that, AMC!

The Groundstar Conspiracy (1972) Pressbook

/ It Came From Hollywood / Leave a Comment

Courtesy of It Came From Hollywood…The Groundstar Conspiracy pressbook with supplement. A noirish, spyish thriller movie with George Peppard and Michael Sarrazin. Peppard, of course, is best known as Hannibal in the television series The A-Team. He also played his annoyingly cool and supercilious leading man persona in Banacek. Michael Sarrazin, a Canadian actor, is notable for his role in They Shoot Horses Don’t They and to horror movie fans for The Reincarnation of Peter Proud. Funny, but I recall They Shoot Horses Don’t They mostly because my dad took me, I was pretty young, to see it and he said an expletive, along with his dislike for the movie’s ending. I wasn’t too keen on it myself at that age, either. But he did manage to bring me to science fiction movies (he didn’t like horror: my mom did), and he behaved himself when The Last Starfighter ended (though he found it just as underwhelming as Horses).

And you don’t have to read the signs to find more pressbooks, just rummage through our categories.

The Sign of Zorro (1960) Pressbook

/ It Came From Hollywood, Pressbooks (Non-Horror) / Leave a Comment

A big thanks to It Came From Hollywood who have now joined the Gang of Terrors From Zombos’ Closet. With a huge archive of both Joe Kane’s (The Phantom of the Movies) movie memorabilia and their own, stretching across decades, you will be seeing a lot of cool stuff in its new home From Zombos’ Closet. Of course, we’ll need a bigger closet…but, to start, here’s The Sign of Zorror pressbook from It Came From Hollywood’s archive.

Being a Disney pressbook, it is filled with merchandizing and promotional content galore. Guy Williams (Armando Joseph Catalano) also made a very dashing Zorror, too. His two notable roles were as Zorror and John Robinson (Lost in Space).
