Movie Pressbook: The Masque of the Red Death
What more can I say? Stare into this 11 x 17 inches pressbook for The Masque of the Red Death.

Movie Pressbook: Pharaoh’s Curse
I couldn't pass this pressbook up, even if it has a badly placed cutout. The illustration is prime 1950s horror movie exploitation: how many times have we seen "the strangest horror story ever told" as the tagline?
Movie Pressbook: Saturn 3 (Part 1)
Farrah Fawcett, Kirk Douglas, and Harvey Keitel with his buddy, a love-smitten robot.

Movie Pressbook: The Evil Eye
The pressbook for Mario Bava's "La Ragazza Che Sapeva Troppo" (1963), The Evil Eye.
Movie Pressbook: Night of the Howling Beast
More from Paul Naschy. A minimalist pressbook, but so are Naschy’s movies. The last page collage is effective to convey the movie’s themes.
Movie Pressbook: Radar Men From the Moon
Who wouldn’t want a jetpack strapped to their back and be called Sky Marshal of the Universe? Here’s the over-sized pressbook to one of my favorite serials, Radar Men From the Moon.
Movie Herald: An Evening With Karloff

Movie Pressbook: The Day the Earth Froze

Movie Pressbook: Kwaheri: Vanishing Africa
In the 1960s and 1970s there was a fascination with shockumentaries: among them are Mondo Cane (1962), Africa, Blood and Guts (1970), Brutes and Savages (1977), Mondo Balordo (1968) , and Kwaheri: Vanishing Africa (1964). Of course, now you can just watch stuff like this on YouTube. This pressbook is quite impressive. From enticing poster art to using classified ads, balloons, post cards, and diverse "tie-ups" (product tie-ins) with Mobil Oil, Volkswagon, and Chevrolet, this pressbook provides the mojo to sell, sell, sell, this movie.
