Punk-hoodlums cause mayhem with hot rods and more punk hoodlums turn to kidnapping. Quite a 1950s drive-in's worth of teen angst and misbehavior.

What more could you ask for in a double bill? Not only do you get some salty action with The Lost World of Sinbad, you get to witness the undead crossing swords with the living in Rome Against Rome (aka War of the Zombies)! Of course, it would be more exciting to see Sinbad fighting zombies, but you can't have everything.

Of course, the poster art is more thrilling and chilling, but hey…how can you beat that tagline "Beyond the black mouth of the cursed cave lurk the unfleshed."

The design of the caterpillar-like creature in The Monster That Challenged the World is on my shortlist of favorite monsters of the 1950s. Although the script resorts to the usual 1950s woman in peril and is totally helpless until the man arrives but he gets into trouble so she screams a lot until more help arrives scenario, it's still a worthy B Movie staple. This pressbook shows the fantastic poster art and fun ballyhoo used for promoting this double bill of "blood-curdling monsters of the age!"

Two of my favorite horror movies with all the 1950s matinee flair you could muster. I would love to see this on a midnight double bill with a Three Stooges short.

Another splendidly designed folder-styled double bill pressbook from Howco International for their drive-in trade: My World Dies Screaming and Lost Lonely and Vicious. My World Dies Screaming touted using the gimmick of subliminal perception with their "The First picture in 4th Dimension, See it without glasses!" This 4th dimension consisted of using one-frame images to heighten your anxiety and fear. Needless to say, it wasn't "destined to be the most talked of picture of all time!" But you can admire the hyperbole at least, as it is attention-catching.

The Magic Witch Deflectors giveaway is what makes this double bill a fun event. Watching Lon Chaney Jr. is also a treat.
Euro-shock double bill from the 1960s. The promotion is done through the poster art in this no-frills 4-page pressbook.
An interesting pressbook for The Man Without a Body (1957) and Fright (1956), "the twin terror show that tops them all." The cover is a quick cut and past job, but it does the trick, and there are two 4-page inserts, one for each movie, and each 11 x 17 inches in size.
