If you were one of the lucky TV station programmers to receive from
Screen Gems your promotional SHOCK! book in October 1957, you may have
been shocked (well, slightly shocked) to have a pop-up Frankenstein
Monster jump at you as you opened it up. What a fun idea from whomever
crafted this promotional book.
Tellingly,
the promotion on the first two pages zeros in exclusively on
Universal's monster films, not any of the other films that were also
offered in the package.
The first several pages of the book were unnumbered. The numbering is reserved for the films themselves, one film per page.
