Pulp Screen: "Phantom From Space", 1953

Hello Pulp friends,

Hope everyone is enjoying these Holidays :)

Before gettin' to the Holiday SPecial part 2 for the last of year (tune in as it's also the 100 post in Pulp Sunday, so it should be big, I hope ;)), here's another tribute to a less known Sci-Fi classic, here in its Italian dress (which I took as inspiration).
Directed by W. Lee Wilder, "Phantom From Space", from 1953.
Happy Sunday everyone :)

Cheers,
Francesco

"The Cold, The Frozen, And The Iced" ~ A Holiday Special Part.1

Hello Pulp Friends,

The above is my way to wish you all and your families a very Happy Holiday Season and a Wonderful New Year!
2008 has been a great year for me also thanks to all of you dear friends who supported and fueled this little pulp venture I have going here. I am hoping to deliver more pulp art in 2009 and spend some more quality time with you all.

Cheers,
Francesco

Pulp Screen: "The Man From Planet X", 1951

Hello Pulp friends,

I am probably going to tribute some more classic sci-fi movies so I guess that turns December in Pulp Sci-Fi month ;)

The original movie posters were announcing "the weirdest Visitor the Earth has ever seen". I am not sure if this is the weirdest, but it sure is the coolest in that Wally Wood kinda way :)
From 1951, directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and with Robert Clarke, Margaret Field, Raymond Bond, I give you "The Man From Planet X"!
Once agai, click on the sepia image for the full Technicolor image ;)

Enjoy! :)

Cheers,

Pulp Screen: "Earth Versus the Flying Saucers", 1956

Helo Pulp Friends,

while we wait to find some other radio show to be the subject of my Sunday illustrations (apparently the Shadow episodes have been taken down from the Archive), let's keep it going with some more classic Sci-Fi cult.
This time it's the turn of "Earth Versus the Flying Saucers", from director Fred F. Sears.
Well, the title is pretty self-explanatory ;) I wanted to add that the movie had some cool special effect thanks to magician Ray Harryhausen, and that Tim Burton tribute the flying saucers showing perfect replicas in his Mars Attacks!

Cheers,
Francesco

Edit: OK, had some time to put some color on it so click on the image for the Technicolor version ;)

Pulp Screen: "The Day the Earth Stood Still", 1951

Hello Pulp friends,

if I am not wrong, a certain "remake" is opening tomorrow here in US so I thought to tribute the original version, directed by Robert Wise.
The pacific alien Klaatu and his bodyguard robot Gort land in Washington on front of the White House and they bring a message (warning and ultimatum at the same time).
Inside Gort's costume there is the gigantic Locke Martin, a doorman at Hollywood who was often used in movies thanks to his incredible height. He fainted many times during the shooting of the movie because of the heat of the spotlights: try to imagine to be in that armor and be fully toasted...

KLAATU BARADA NIKTO, everyone :)

Pulp Screen: "This Island Earth", 1953

My little tribute to Forrest J. Ackerman. I know he was the biggest fan of old sci-fi and horror movies.

This is for you, Uncle Forry. RIP.
