Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Magnetic Monster, the 1953 Curt Siodmak science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("Cosmic Frankenstein Terrorizes Earth!"; "This one man stands between the earth... And Doom!"; "The astounding story of the 'thing' that came alive!..."; "Already one whole city has been devoured... And still it grows, minute by minute, reaching out with countless invisible mouths to swallow the earth!"; "The thing that came alive!..."; "See terror sweep through the heart of a city in the dead of night"; "See it battle its deadliest enemy - the giant tetratron!"; "See the only men who dared to track the monster to its lair!"; "Only he dared face the terror of the monstrous 'thing' that suddenly came alive.. threatening to engulf the earth!" about a new radioactive element that creates matter out of energy and must be destroyed before it sends Earth out of orbit) starring Richard Carlson, King Donovan, Jean Byron, Jarma Lewis, Harry Ellerbe, Frank Gerstle, Donald Kerr, Byron Foulger, and William Benedict. Note that this movie bears real similarities to "The Blob", which came out five years later, in that there is a seemingly unstoppable monster that keeps growing and growing as it devours everything around it. But that movie was played for shock and laughs, whereas this movie was an attempt to be scientifically accurate, and by all accounts is an excellent movie that has simply become overlooked and forgotten over the years! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card is part of an amazing collection of 132 horror/sci-fi lobby cards (our items #5040 through #5171). Included are 121 title cards from 1950 to 1964, including just about every horror/sci-fi movie made during that period, including all of the most famous titles! Also included is all seven scene cards from "The Day the Earth Stood Still", and a great scene card from "House of Wax". The collector who assembled this collection did so over a span of several decades, and to duplicate it would surely take at least that long, if one started today. But on October 30th, every one of these lobby cards will go to a new owner, as all are being sold with NO reserve. Also note that we have listed these lobby cards in strict alphabetical order. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire rare lobby cards that almost never are offered for sale! Condition: very good to fine. small scuff mark in the woman's image at lower left; pairs of staple holes around the edges of the card (some slightly torn from rough removal); This card is in better condition than the above makes it sound! Its defects are basically minor and most are around the edges of the card. I would think most collectors would be happy with this card, or of course, any talented restorer could repair the defects without a lot of restoration. Learn More about condition grades
