Auction History Result #5475 MAN BEAST pb '56 Yeti monsters! Date Sold 10/30/2003Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (measures 11" x 14"; 6 pages) (Learn More) Man Beast, the 1956 Jerry Warren science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller ("Hair-raising excitement in the icy lair of the man-like creatures roaming the roof of the world!"; "Bestial Monster Madness!"; "See: Death-drop of 21,000 feet by panicked climber! See: Most daring mountain climbing ever filmed! See: Women stalked and captured for breeding by Yeti monsters"; "Sub-human creatures-survivors of the ice age... Titans of the terror that live today!"; "Thrills and chills scream from the screen as sub-human monsters go on a rampaging blood-binge!"; "You read about them in Time, True, Argosy, Newsweek, Pageant, Popular Science Magazines") starring Rock Madison, Virigina Maynor, Tom Maruzzi, Lloyd Nelson, George Wells Lewis, George Skaff, Jack Haffner, and Wong Sing. Note that "Rock Madison" was a name coined by director Warren to sound like a cool movie star name (it was a combination of Rock Hudson and Guy Madison). He intended to re-name star Tom Maruzzi as "Rock Madison", but apparently Maruzzi wanted to be billed under his own name (you can't blame him!) and Warren ended up top billing Rock Madison and Maruzzi got third billing. Since the movie has a yeti in it, one could imagine that the person who played the yeti was "Rock Madison", but actually, many actors took turns wearing the yeti suit, so this is an odd case of a movie having a top-billed actor who did not exist and was not in the movie!

Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is part of an amazing collection of 456 different horror/sci-fi pressbooks (our items #5387 through #5842)! The collector who assembled this collection did so over a span of several decades, and to duplicate it would surely take at least that long, if one started today. But on October 30th, every one of these pressbooks will go to a new owner, as all are being sold with NO reserve. Note that this collection spans the years from 1950 to 1972, and just about every single 1950s and 1960s horror/sci-fi movie is represented here. Also note that we have listed them in DATE order (first by year, and then alphabetically within years). This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire rare pressbooks that almost never are offered for sale! Condition: very good to fine. Note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Since pressbooks were INTENDED to be cut up (the theater owners would cut out the newspaper ads to run in their local papers). It is very difficult to find a pressbook that has NOT been cut, and that ads greatly to their value! 3/4" tear in the upper center edge as well as a few tiny tears around the edges of the pressbook; minor creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the pressbook (mostly along the spine and around the edges) Learn More about condition grades
