Journey to the Center of the Earth

(Click to view in Bigger-Than-Life-O-Scope!)

Occasionally I'll also feature ads for movies from various other kinds of mediums besides newspapers. This is from a full-page ad in "Castle of Frankenstein" issue #11 published in 1967.

I'm featuring a Star Trek cover story from this mag on my other blog, "My Star Trek Scrapbook," so visit there also.

EXCELLENT scan! Castle of Frankenstein was my favorite zine for several reasons, but I think the original movie ads they frequently ran caught my attention more than anything.

Flick,

You're right about the ads, that was something they did more of than most monster mags. I plan on including more of those in the future! Thanks for commenting, I really appreciate it, especially on this blog where so few do.

For what it's worth, I drop by here and Monster Memories almost every day! Both blogs get into stuff that has a lot of meaning for me.

Welcome to my vintage newspaper movie ad blog!

When I was younger I clipped out the ads of the movies I wanted to go see and put them in a scrapbook. I also enjoyed hunting through old newspapers I would find here and there, and saving the ads from those as well. Some that I've gleaned from relative's old closets and attics go back to the 50's!

Rather than let them sit there in the old notebook I saved them in, I decided I'd share them with you. Every single entry on this blog page are from actual newspaper clippings that I own and have scanned in, so click on any image to view biggie size.

Although this blog will mostly feature nostalgic vintage newspaper movie ads, I'll also throw in an occasional newspaper article about the movie that I found, as well as ads and items from various TV guides about movies and shows that I liked. And who knows what else? That dog-eared 37-year-old notebook is packed with goodies. Hopefully "Held Over!" will be fun to visit and will reawaken some of your own memories!
