Mexican Lobby Card: Untouched

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.

Mexican Lobby Card: Taste the Blood of Dracula

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.

Mexican Lobby Card: El Hombre De La Mascara De Hierro

Mexican Lobby Card: Masterson of Kansas

Here's the Mexican lobby card for one of director William Castle's non-horror movies, Masterson of Kansas (1954).

Mexican Lobby Card: Black Belly of the Tarantula

Black Belly of the Tarantula (1971) Mexican lobby card; a cut and paste effort that sums the movie's premise well enough.

Mexican Lobby Card: Phantom Caravan

Phantom Caravan, 1954. Private detective mixes it up with murderous Indian sect--in Switzerland.

Mexican Lobby Card: La Mascara De Jade

Mexican Lobby Card: El Infierno Del Placer

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. 

Skabenga! The Killer Lust (1955) Pressbook

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.

Mexican Lobby Card: Santo En La Venganza De Las Mujeres Vampiro

Movie Pressbook: Race With the Devil

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).
