Double Bill Pressbook: I Was a Teenage Frankenstein
and Blood of Dracula

/ Pressbooks (Horror, Sci Fi, Fantasy) / Leave a Comment

Another wonderful American International double bill, folder-styled, pressbook from the Tony Rivers collection. From Tony: "All these AIP pressbooks from this era had an extra page (I Was a Teenage Werewolf  had the page with ads showing the werewolf's face while How to Make a Monster had the comic strip page in color.)  While I don't have that page in my pressbook for I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, I found a small picture of it online and am enclosing it as the last page. " (Note: See next to last page for "American News: Frankenstein Versus Dracula" promotional articles).

Bride of the Gorilla (1951) Pressbook

/ Pressbooks (Horror, Sci Fi, Fantasy) / Leave a Comment

Bride of the Gorilla, written and directed by Curt Siodmak. Apes, girls, what's not to love? Steve Calvert played the gorilla, but he only appeared toward the end so he didn't get a credit. A production note on Wikipedia says "Edward G. Robinson Jr. was originally cast for the movie but was fired by the producers after his arrest for writing a bad check for $138 to the Laguna Beach Garage." Lucky him. Raymond Burr and Lon Chaney Jr. also starred. And notice, I managed to avoid any "second banana" jokes!
