Original Vintage Theatrical Mexican Lobby Card (Measures 12 1/2" x 16", give or take a small amount.) (Learn More) The Monster of Piedras Blancas, the 1959 Irvin Berwick science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller ("Wildest terror!"; "The fiend that walks Lovers' Beach!"; "He preys on human flesh!"; "Never before such thrills!"; "Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine Shock Award Winner; ...1st Place"; see our note below regarding this award) starring Jeanne Carmen, Les Tremayne, John Harmon, Forrest Lewis, Frank Arvidson, and Don Sullivan. Note that some horror collectors have questioned how this movie won ANY award, given that it isn't very good! One collector tells us "How this turkey won that award should be investigated. It had many pages of Famous Monsters of Filmland devoted to a detailed plot summary and pictures, but I was never aware that it had any substantial bookings in the NJ/NY area -- definitely none that I was aware of, as I made it a point to catch all such genre films. It likely seems a case of Forrest J. Ackerman helping someone out with free publicity for whatever reason." If anyone has more information about this award, and why it was given, please e-mail us and we will post it here! Also note that this low-budget movie was double-billed on its first release with Okefenokee, the 1959 Roul Haig swamp crime thriller ("Raw passions in the hell swamps!"; "You say it 'Oh-kee-fen-oh-kee'") starring Peter Coe, Henry Brandon, Peggy Maley, Walter Klavun, and Serena Sande. I have never seen any U.S. movie posters or lobby cards from either of these movies separately. If anyone knows of an individual initial release for either movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: NOTE: In this case, the #2 in the title of the auction is not the number of the lobby card (as far as we know, Mexican lobby cards weren't numbered). Because we are selling more than one card from this set this week as separate eBay auctions, we needed to differentiate between the auctions, and we do so by marking them "#1, #2, #3, etc." (Note that we do use #1, because even though this is commonly used to signify the title card in U.S. sets, we don't know if any Mexican lobby cards sets ever had title cards). Condition: very good. There are minor creases and small stains in the blank borders. There are pinholes in the corners. There is a "20" written with blue pencil to the left of the monster's head.
