They don’t make them anymore, but lobby cards used to be all over movie theaters. They were like small movie posters featuring a single scene from a film. Now they’ve been pushed aside for things like massive cardboard promotional pieces. It’s a shame, too, because studios would often choose really strange images to try and sell a movie. Plenty of lobby cards left people scratching their heads–and they sure don’t make any more sense today. Check out the weirdness (plus a few familiar faces) that used to baffle audiences everywhere!

      Your selection is lame beyond belief. I've seen over a hundred lobby cards Crazier and Weirder and Just-Plain-WTF?-dumb better than your choices. I mean – you have a problem with the 'Colosses of New York' card?! That's GOOD, and representative of the day (in the 1950s & 1960s).

      Get educated – you're running on fumes & lookin' bad. THESE cards don't come close to 'strange'…
