Mexican Lobby Card: La Maldicion De Nostradamus

La Maldicion De Nostradamus 1960

Mexican Lobby Card: Attack of the Giant Leeches

This is one that definitely should be redone by Roger Corman for the Syfy channel.

 

Mexican Lobby Cards: Lemora

 

Mexican Lobby Card: El Genio Del Mal

 

 

Mexican Lobby Card: The Brain Eaters

Nice to see a lobby card where the woman isn't scantily dressed, screaming, prone, and being attacked by a slobbering monster or groping fiend. You go girl!

Mexican Lobby Card: Black Sleep

Mexican Lobby Card: The Manster

This Mexican lobby card for The Manster has a primitive folk art, ballyhoo sideshow banner feel to it. Contrary to the IMDb's low rating for this movie, if you have not seen it, I recommend you do. The photography is very good, and the story has its eerie moments.

 

 

Mexican Lobby Card: The Screaming Skull

Mexican Lobby Card: Rodan

Note the reference to Julio Verne. "More startling than Jules Verne" appears on the American promotional material, too. I'm not sure why his name was chosen to hype the movie.

 

 

Mexican Lobby Card: Onibaba

Note the el mito del sexo (the myth of the sex) angle pushed on the lobby card. A sexual theme runs through the movie, but it's impetus comes from conditions of dominance, predation, and desperation. Onibaba is a noirish tale of lingering evils that's creepy as hell.
