G.O.G. (also released as "GOG, The Killer"), the 1954 Herbert L. Strock science fiction (sci-fi) robot monster horror thriller ("Its brain - an electronic miracle! It's body - chilled, invincible steel! Its purpose - to serve men! Then - suddenly - it became a Frankenstein!"; "Frankenstein of Steel"; "...and then, without warning, the machine became a Frankenstein of steel!"; "Thrill to miracles of science beyond imagination"; "...sound that can kill! ...light that melts steel!"; "...cold that brings immortality!"; "...men and women lighter than air!"; "...an electronic miracle brain!"; "...robots that think!"; "...a station in space!"; "and the incredible moment when The Machines Destroy The Makers!"; "Built to serve man... it could think a thousand times faster! Move a thousand times faster! Kill a thousand times faster ...Then suddenly it became a Frankenstein of steel!"; "Based on a story by Ivan Tors") starring Richard Egan, Constance Dowling, Herbert Marshall, John Wengraf, and Philip Van Zandt. Note that this might have been one of the worst titles ever, because absolutely nobody knew what "GOG" meant, and it certainly didn't attract anybody to the theaters! They tried to make things better be re-titling it "GOG, the Killer", but that really didn't convey the idea of a robot gone wild (and they did this after the posters were printed, so they sent ugly snipes that were glued over the original title!).

Important Added Info: Note that this movie was apparently intended to released in 3-D, as the pressbook says that it is "2-D and 3-D" and mentions that "3-D snipes are available for posters and lobbies", and has an entire page of "3-D exploitation" suggestions. Since I have never seen an actual 3-D poster for this movie, I would assume that it means it was never released that way!

Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut!
