Pressbook: Nurse Sherri (1978)
And since Nurses for Sale wasn't enough for trashy 1970s cinema…here's Nurse Sherri…drawn by Gray Morrow.

Benylin Monstrous Mailer
I love seeing monsters and elements of the fantastique used in advertising. This one is rather an odd but pleasantly cheeky promotion for Benylin. Must have been a monsterkid on their marketing team that came up with this one 😉 And to think, this was #1 in a series!
From seller phxsunny's listing: "Here is a very rare Mailer Advertisement promotion by Parke Davis for Benylin Medicine in the 1980's. The ad promotion was called "How to treat a monster" and these Monstrous Mailers were sent with a Benylin Monster wind up Toy (which still works) and probably a bottle of Benylin. (No Benylin comes with this auction) Only for the products shown."

Pressbook: Nurses for Sale (1971)
Continuing our 1970s trash cinema theme for today…and I'd say the only kidnapped and abused individuals regarding this movie would be the audience suffering through it.

Pressbook: The Flesh and Blood Show (1972)
Okay, so the movie's appalling, but the lurid artwork isn't. And there's a 3D version for this movie!?

Movie Herald:
The Abominable Snowman (1957)
This tabloid-sized, 4-page, herald for The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas, is quite an ambitious promotion gimmick.

Mexican Lobby Card:
El Planeta De Las Mujeres Invasoras
The sequel to Gigantes Planetarios, this is the Azteca-style lobby card for The Planet of Female Invaders (1966). The radar sticks on their heads (from the first movie) are replaced by a–well, I'll let you decide that. Love the large buttons though and trim. Very chichi.
Mexican Lobby Card:
Gigantes Planetarios (1965)
What does it for me is the look on the female astronaut's face. And notice, she's driving. Make of it what you will, this Mexican lobby card for Planetary Giants is quite fetching. Not sure what's up with the radar sticks on the tops of those sinister evil alien heads, though.

Army of the Apes Coloring Book
Seller dirtyblueoveralls had this 1970s Army of the Apes coloring book (Tsubaraya Productions) up on eBay. It didn't sell. I'm very tempted to grab this one should he relist it. If I do, I will post scans of every page. Just looking at the back cover, I can tell this one's a keeper. Interesting way to hold that cigar, don't you think?
Pressbook: Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966)
Originally titled Pajama Party in a Haunted House, this last of the beach party pictures from AIP (although there's no beach, just a pool), left AIP unhappy after wrap-up, so Boris Karloff and Susan Hart were called in to film scenes that would be added into the movie (Wikipedia). Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon didn't make it into this one, although they appear in the other six beach movies.

September 1979
What's more frightening than driving through Memorial Day traffic? Reading this issue of Weird, of course! A real treat are the illustrations on the inside cover instead of advertisements.
