Ahh, los Mexican lobbycards are muy awesome!!!

I went crazy last night. No, I didn't shoot guns in the air and spew profanities at old women in the street, or even spray "Ozzy smells" on a wall but... I lost it and bought a whole pile of cool Mexican lobbycards!

It's been a while since I've bought any so I actually had to check a couple if I already had them or not (and even so I still ended up with ONE lobby that I already have. DUH!!).

I should point out in case you've never bought any Mexican lobbycards that they're not like American or European lobbycards, i.e. like big photographs but what I'd describe as small posters. Their size is approx 12 x 16 inches (31 x 41 centimetres) and most of them (though not all) are printed on heavy cardboard material. They're also original ones; As far as I know there are no re-prints of these as (I would assume) no one uses that kind of almost pulp'ish cardboard material for posters/lobbycards anymore. Now, stare in awe!

NURSE SHERRI

L'OSSESSA (Italy, 1974). This THE EXORCIST rip-off is also known in English as THE TORMENTED / THE SEXORCIST / THE OBSESSED, and under the truly AWFUL American dvd title: THE EERIE MIDNIGHT HORROR SHOW.




THE HOUSE OF EXORCISM (i.e. the edited "Exorcist" edit of Mario Bava's Lisa and the Devil)

HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS (Al Adamson's film which he made up from using an old [and seemingly now lost] Filipino horror movie. I'd looove to see the original film!).

THE FLY (i.e. the original 1958 version)

DR. JEKYLL VS THE WOLFMAN (on DVD from Mondo Macabro)

CURSE OF THE CRYING WOMAN

CRY OF THE BANSHEE

Magdalena, Possessed by the Devil (1974)

Original German title: MAGDALENA, VOM TEUFEL BESESSEN
aka In der Gewalt des Bösen / Magdalena – Kein Platz für die Hure / Beyond the Darkness / Devil’s Female



Ahhh, look at that German VHS cover. Awesome, ay! YES IT IS!!!
xD xD xD.

MAGDALENA, POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL (or Devil's Female as the English dubbed bootleg DVD I bought last year is re-titled) is an enjoyable and trashy German ripoff of THE EXORCIST!! I haven't bothered to find out which English dubbed VHS versions are available (or not available, I believe any version is pretty rare) cos I've got said boot DVD from Trash Palace, a boot which is fine enough when you consider I find the English dubbing pretty atrocious! Haha.

And because of that uuugly dubbing I've been on the lookout for the original German language version for quite a while. I never actually thought I'd find it but, well, lo and behold, tonight I commented on someone's scan of the same film on Cinehound (actually the scan I'm using here) and one fine Swedish collector mentioned he had another copy of the tape and that he would let go of it. Well, for a handful of shiny coins natürlich. Ahhh. Did I mention it's not released on DVD anywhere (you can find an English dubbed DVD on Amazon but it's a bootleg). Ahh, the joys of EXORCIST ripoffs.
