Lobby card


Rare card for a movie I have not seen yet, though it looks like a fun fest. My dear friend Jennifer Waters found it in a Hollywood poster and bookstore that closed down earlier this year. Another victim of the makeover done to Hollywood blvd. Lobby cards are mostly frames from the film, and usually show a scene in a off moment, between actions or just a tinted copy of the poster. Truly a lost bit of American culture like drive-ins, and burger shops with waitresses on roller skates.

Sword & Sandal movies!
Good stuff!

Old lobby cards are beautiful! I wish they still made them that way.

Very good lobby card, Jim.

But I had a question involving that old He-Hog animation you did with Spumco: how did it end?

Did He-Hog kill himself after all?

Did Half Life really die?

Did Dr. Mole release hordes of pigeons upon Canada?!

Dammit, Jim, I hafta know!
