Horror Movie Cards

***Moderators Edit :Thread merged at this point, as there are pictures of these cards on this thread.***

Who remembers those black & white picture cards you used to get in the late 70s sending up old Hollywood Horror films? You'd get a pack of half a dozen cards, think they were called "Creature Feature" and you'd get a strip of bubble gum too. The cards usually depicted a still from Frankenstien, for example, and there would be a witty caption to go along with it.

Re: Defunct sweets?

Does anyone remember some chewing gum tablets from the '70s called either M1s, or MIs? They had, what tasted like shampoo in the middle. We ate them for the disgust element!

The one with liquid centres I recall were Freshen up but Omega is also mentioned on the forum.

Re: anyone remember these bubble gums

Thanks huggy, but these were definitely MI, or M1s. Re- Horror cards. I had a collection of them in a scrap book. They were mainly Hammer Horror stills, and I remember one from one of the Draculas, (Dracula Has Risen From The Grave, most likely)... of a Victorian gentleman, unconcious, on the floor, wrecked furniture around him, with the subtitle, "That was some party!" I'm hoping the scrapbook is still with me!

Yes I remember those, they tasted like disinfectant and came with two smiley face tattoo's. I loved them!

I'm quite sure they were called Dubble Bubble and instead of it saying 'Americas Original' it said 'Fleer' before they were bought by marvel.



I've looked everywhere on the net but have only found different versions of them, and have not seen one single picture of the tattoo's (which says to me that they probably don't come with them anymore).

Anybody any further forward with this, the greatest mystery of all time, the name of the germoline bubble gum with the smiley face tattoos? NostalgiaFreak suggests Dubble Bubble. My memory of a white wrapper supports this and I've found a pic of 'modern' dubble bubbles that have pink wrappers but they are the same size and shape of the bubblies in my memory. Oh to get some definitive evidence! we are so close to cracking it!

I don't think they were Dubble Bubble. They were in white wrappers but I can't remember what they were called! I can 'see' them in my head and remember exactly how they tasted!
