Here is another cool 2-sided flyer, this time for the classic YOG MONSTER FROM SPACE (which is now only known as SPACE AMOEBA). It's also printed on heavy, textured stock, but this time measuring slightly larger--in fact, it's 8 & 9/16 by 11 & 1/8 inches, just larger enough than a regular piece of paper to cause problems, which is weird.
Some people deride this movie, but I love it. You'll also hear it called "the end of the Golden Age of Toho kaiju movies," and there is some truth to that I suppose. I think it's a ton of fun.
The reverse side of the flyer gives us promotional photos and another complete synopsis that would of course spoil the film for the uninitiated!
It should be mentioned here that YOG MONSTER FROM SPACE (You know, I always thought there should be a comma in there, but there isn't...note that on the back of the flyer, they use a dash to separate the title, but that's not on the poster either...hmmm....)
I got myself distracted there, but as I was saying: it should be mentioned here that YOG MONSTER FROM SPACE is another in the list of U.S. versions of Toho kaiju films that are being erased from existence. The U.S. theatrical version--complete with U.S. titles and the wonderful AIP English dub--has ONLY ever been released on VHS a few times, and that's it. It was also shown on TV back in the day of course. So make sure that you keep your copy safe!
