Showcases 150 full-color promotional posters, lobby cards, and stills from classic Mexican horror, sci-fi, and fantasy cinema, divided chronologically into "The Fifties," "The Sixties," and "The Seventies."
From the editor's introduction: "This book is intended for anyone that enjoys the exotic, esoteric, or just plain absurd. The aesthetics of these posters appeal to each individual in different ways; each one has a favorite image that tells a unique story. So, my selection is based as much upon subjective motives as it is on the perceptions of other collectors." The editor, Rogelio Agrasanones Jr., is "the director of the Agrasánchez Film Archive, a major repository of Mexican movie posters and memorabilia."

"Mexican Fantasy Films: A Brief History" by David Wilt
