From Zombos' Closet comes a classy and trashy collection of popular culture artifacts for those who love the terrors and treats found in movies, books, and Halloween.
This sultry Mexican lobby card for Sombra Verde (Untouched, 1954) is simply exquisite. With both femme fatale and snake colored green, I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to which has more bite.
Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970). Another cut and paste effort, which was a layout favorite (cheap, quick, no artist needed) for many Mexican lobby cards done in the 1970s.
This has to be the oddest Mexican lobby card I have in my collection. The illustration reminds me of those garish and primitive-art Carnival Midway banners used to hype attractions. I recall those banners also hyped the more risque attractions, too.
I didn't know "Skabenga" meant money at the box office, but this pressbook believes so. I'm still not sure why jungle movies were so popular in the 1950s, but they were. I can't find any information on this movie, but here's the pressbook to fill you in.
Some minor cuts, one blank page, and a loose page I'm not sure where it fits , but still an interesting pressbook for a memorable movie. No page numbers are given. Shown here, I moved the publicity pages up, which normally come toward the end, to grab your attention (if Lara Parker doesn't, that is).
