"Big Doll House" Original Half Sheet. Aka "Bamboo Dolls House," aka "Womens Penitentiary III." "Soft young girls behind hard prison bars." Five women who are being tortured in a Philippine prison plot an escape with the help of two men from the outside. The film was made for a measly $125 grand, and has grossed over $10 million. This poster is the International version. (U.S. versions and International versions often have different art.) Mine was originally displayed in Amsterdam. Here's the trailer. (Contains nudity.) 1971.

"At the Earth's Core" Japanese Movie Program. A Victorian scientist, (Peter Cushing) and his assistant, (Doug McClure) take a trip to the center of the Earth using a tunneling machine. They find all manner of strange creatures, including a species of telepathic bird which the natives worship. Caroline Munro is the beautiful Dia, a native girl who's soon to be sacrificed to the birds. I really like this movie. There's a really trippy scene where mad scientist Peter Cushing is hanging onto a giant plant, waving his umbrella while a giant creature screams and stomps it's way through the forest toward him. There are all kinds of weird, colorful plants and creatures. Very loosely based upon a story by Edgar Rice Burroughs.Japanese movie programs are sold at the theater in limited quantities to promote the film. They're great because they're relatively cheap, but printed very well and are loaded with rare stills. Here's the trailer for the film. From 1971.

"Twins of Evil" Original Insert. A great Hammer film that was very loosely based upon the vampire tale "Carmilla" by Sheridan Le Fanu. Peter Cushing plays the forceful Puritan Gustav Weil, who heads a vigilante group of witch (er um, I mean vampire) hunters. But when his twin nieces come to live with him, he suspects that one may be a vampire. Also starring Madeleine Collinson and Mary Collinson. From 1971. Here's the trailer. Once again, unfortunately, this movie is not available in the States on DVD yet. I have a great PAL release myself.
