Here's a perfect movie for viewing on Halloween.

Captain Sindbad (1963) Pressbook

Lost in Space's (the television series) Guy Williams stars. The script was pared down to lower the budget. Unfortunately, Ray Harryhausen was not involved and the film was shot in Germany. Yes, Germany. I haven't seen this one yet, so I'll leave it at that. But the pressbook is great.

You Only Live Twice (1967) Pressbook

My mom and I would hit the movie theater every time a new James Bond movie was released. She had this wonderful habit of, on my birthday, leaving the presents at the edge of my bed, so when I woke up I'd have all these goodies waiting for me right then and there. One birthday was filled with James Bond coolness: the Gilbert figurines and large action figures, the Corgi Aston Martin, the creme de la creme 007 secret agent attache case, and for good measure, Mattel's Agent M Zero Radio Rifle. I was in secret agent heaven that day for sure. Oh, yeah, this pressbook is pretty cool too.

An Evening with Batman and Robin

Here's an interesting promotional piece for Columbia's college crowd push for the 1943 Batman serial. Adam West's Batman appeared in 1966. This pressbook appears dated 1965, a year before the television show aired.

Halloween 2018 Sighted at Home Depot

Home Depot has their Halloween selection on display. Continuing their trend for bones and large novelty items, here are some highlights to spark your decorating activities. My favorites are the witch sitting pretty and the smoking dragon.

Little Tough Guys in Society (1938) Pressbook

I'm not sure how good this could be without Leo Gorcey or Huntz Hall, but here's the Dead End Kids without some of the kids. Between Universal, Warner Brothers, and Monogram, the kids did keep quite busy. It's amazing to think they started out in drama, but moved into comedy, in the various incarnations. My favorite run, overall, would be with them as The Bowery Boys.

Last of the Pony Riders (1953) Pressbook

Here's the pressbook for Gene Autry's last feature film, Last of the Pony Riders. You can thank Mr. Autry for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and Here Comes Santa Claus. My favorite Gene Autry movie is, of course, The Phantom Empire.
