An Original 1955 Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 10 3/4" x 13 3/4" [27 x 35 cm]) (Learn More) El Monstruo Resucitado (released in the U.S. in 1955 as "The Revived Monster"), the 1953 Chano Urueta Mexican mad doctor romantic horror thriller ("Stronger than Frankenstein"; "More Bloody than Dracula"; "More Ferocious than The Wolf Man"; about a disfigured mad doctor who is rejected by a beautiful girl, so he naturally takes a recently killed handsome young man and transplants a brain into him and then sends the zombified man to find the girl and kill her, but naturally, he falls in love with her instead!) starring Miroslava, Carlos Navarro, Jose Maria Linares-Rivas, Fernando Wagner, Alberto Mariscal, and Stephen Berne (billed as "Estefan Berne"). Note that this movie is only known by film buffs, but it is considered a very important Mexican horror movie. It launched the "new wave" of Mexican horror, exemplified by the works of Jess Franco and his contemporaries!. Also, based on a newspaper review and theater ads, the movie had a limited release in the U.S. in 1955. The review calls it The Revived Monster (El Monstruo Resucitado), but all of the theater ads that we found used only the original Mexican title. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 10 3/4" x 13 3/4" [27 x 35 cm]. Note that this is a U.S. lobby card for a Mexican movie, and the exhibitor of this movie showed the movie primarily to Spanish speaking audiences, so the lobby card was printed in Spanish. In addition, it is from a set of lobby cards that consisted of a stock lobby card with an inset area that was approximately 7" x 8 1/2", and glue eight different stills of that size on to eight stock lobby cards, thus inexpensively creating an 8 card set. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: fair. There is water staining in the left and top 2" of the card. The left and bottom blank borders were partially trimmed off. There is surface paper loss in the right of the tipped-in photo.
