Hey everyone!

I have a late night auction here locally that ends in a couple of hours and I noticed these. Anybody know what they are or if they look original? They seem to be cardboard and the backs are blank. Thanks for any help.

This poster is in another lot, which I know is original. So my gut says the Deadly Mantis cards might be original as well, I just haven't seen black and white rectangle images like this on cardboard. My guess is maybe they were placed above a theater door? I have no idea. Anyways, all speculation welcomed.

I believe the first 2 are from the movie, The Mantis.

The last one was from an obscure mermaid movie.

Sorry I can't be of more help
I'm not someone else.
