Yes The pink doesn't seem to suit the master of classic horror movies

THE HOUSE OF DRACULA

Roddy, are the HOUSE OF DRAC and BLACK CASTLE cards first releases? Or RR cards?

roddyq · « **Reply #6 on:** July 25, 2018, 12:35:56 AM »

As far as I have been able to find out Jeff they seem to be first releases. The 59 in the bottom right hand corner had me going as I was thinking it stood for 1959. I did read something about Mexican Lobby cards are not so easy to date. I know that the Boris Karloff The Man with 9 lives is a reissue as the movie was first released I believe in 1940.

The man with 9 lives was released in Mexico in 1940. The House of Dracula in 1945 USA, I couldn't find any accurate Mexican release information for The House of Dracula. The Black Castle was released in 1952.

I like how on the NINE LIVES card, the director is printed as Ninck Grinde, which we've all seen on stuff from different foreign countries, too (general name misspells, I mean).

Like Jack O Mahoney instead of Jock. Even some of the American titles to Spanish translations don't always make sense. I have seen some other wrong name spellings.

I think two Mexican lc threads are trying to merge on APF. I'm seeing double! Okie

I have some foreign posters for US movies that also have misspells. I dont mind them at all... to me, it makes them a bit more unique.

roddyq · « **Reply #12 on:** July 25, 2018, 01:06:21 AM »

For sure Jeff adds some character. I see that Okiehawker is seeing this thread double. Am I somehow not posting right and the thread is doubling?

Got it Jeff thanks.

BLITZKRIEG 1958
From some information I have found this film / documentary was pieced together using actual war films taken by both the Germans and Russians.
