The picture below shows a larger view of these (2) Unused 1957 From Hell It Came and The Disembodied Movie Ad Mat Molds. These double feature admats are still connected. The ad mats are not dated but they are from the 1957 movies. These are molds in which lead is poured to create a thin metal negative image that is then mounted on a wooden block for printing. Advertising is no longer being made or printed like this. The ad mats are like miniature 3-D posters and would look nice framed, or you could still use them and make print blocks from them. The print block would have been used to print on movie pages in newspapers, in magazines, or in the movie theater programs. It is made of a thick compressed paper board. The top admat has a movie scene image from ''The Disembodied'' with a standing woman with crossed arms. On each side of her are carved African fetish sculpure figures. The bottom one has the double feature movie advertising. There are two inset images. The left one has a a Devil like creature. The right one has a pretty lady holding up a dagger and a fetish doll with a skull in the background. The two admats are marked as follows: (#1) THE DISEMBODIED NO. 21 (#2) DOUBLE DEMON SHOW! ALLIED ARTISTS PICTURES THE BEAST THING FROM HADES! FROM HELL IT CAME STARRING TODD ANDREWS - TINA CARVER KILLER WITCH OF THE JUNGLE!
