Sure, I know, this is supposed to be a movie ad blog, but if you read the fine print over there on the blog description you might see that I would occasionally throw in TV guide ads and old movie reviews. Here are some from the fall of 1974, the ads clipped from the TV Guide and the article from the Macon Telegraph. I enjoyed the series back then, and along with the Planet of the Apes show also premiering, it was a fun season for TV.
Otherwise known (presumably in non-3D showings) as "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein," this ad for "Frankenstein 3D" was clipped from the New York Times in March of 1974. It was retitled "Flesh For Frankenstein" for later releases.
It was often paired with Warhol's Dracula film, the ad for which I posted earlier here.
When I first began this blog it was to share the clippings I made years ago of movies that interested me. But as I went through my saved newspaper movie sections, surrounding the ad I wanted or on the back page I found a lot more ads. So I've broadened this blog to include any that I have, whether I saved them intentionally or not. After all, you might enjoy seeing whatever I post, whether I liked the movie or not!
Clipped from the Beckley Register-Herald (WV) in June of 1984.
This movie came out before the internet was widely used, so there were still secrets kept right up until the day or so before release. And unless you picked up the novelization and read it in those couple of days before the movie premiered, you could still go in and be surprised. Today, unless you hide under a rock, it's hard to go see a movie that has a lot of fans like Trek and not know more than you want to already.
Wow, Sophia Loren and James Coburn! And... O.J Simpson? Well, two out of three good ones ain't bad. Clipped from the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel in 1979.
Now that I think about it, the tagline "When crime and passion mix" is ironic considering who's in it... funny how much foreshadowing there is in reality when we go back and look for it. For example, there are examples in TV and print too numerous to mention that put planes headed toward the WTC in the picture or scenario, way before 9/11.
