Mexican Lobby Card: The 7th Voyage of Sinbad

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) Mexican lobby card.

Mexican Lobby Card: The Bowery Boys

The Bowery Boys get into trouble. Again. Wonderful action scene photo pasted onto this one color lobby card is attention-grabbing. The layout conveys camaraderie and adventure, a little danger, and comedy. 

13 Ghosts (German) Pressbook

The interior 1 page fold-out design of this small-sized (12 inches by 6 inches folded) German language pressbook for 13 Ghosts (1960) first drew my interest, but the comic bookish graphics and photo layout were strong enough to make me bid for this classy marketing material being offered on emovieposter.com.

This Island Earth (1955) Pressbook

Thanks to Terry Michitsch, pressbook, sci fi, and Ray Harryhausen aficionado, for providing these scans of the This Island Earth pressbook. One of my favorite monsters, the Metaluna Mutant, perks up this movie, as does the story of a dying world overwhelmed by war. No matter what anyone says, I like the slick slacks MM is wearing. Sure, he was supposed to have  bare legs showing, but the special effects people had some trouble with that. So pants it is.
