Thanks for those, boinnng, those were fun to eyeball. Unfortunately, no, none of those exhibits are like the one I had as a child. I may have mentioned that it was mroe like a handout, a brochure, as it was folded into quaters and it would open up but I don't recall all of it.
Similar to the ones you brought up, but it used exclusively the artwork, no photos. It consisted of garish primary colors and one part may have been a yellow background and another background black(the human mind is an extrordinary thing, but even it can make mistakes. All these years later I only have vague recollections of those aspects).
I know that it folded and was meant to be so as I liked opening it up and getting grossed out with those monsters, made all the more monstrous in my fevered 8 year old mind.
As I may have mentioned in my original post, what startled me the most was that beautiful woman with the deep scarlet lips, seemingly about to paste them on the giant, green noggin of one of her captive specimens. Yow!
Thanks,again, boinnng.

Thanks, I'll do that.
I must say that I approach these sort of films with much caution. That is to say, movie titles that I hold in my memory in well-guarded nostalgic quarters.
As examples I submit before any interested parties, two movie titles, that as a boy I saw the previews.
Both looked like they were just the thing, "Have to see that one!" kind of movies.
One was Night of the Blood Beast (1958) and for a six year old boy, that seemed to have it all! Rockets! Monsters! Adventures! Running around!
Neither in the theater nor on TV, did not get to see it.
Then there were the luird promotions on TV for The Head (1959). Yow! What a grisly concept! With scantilly clad women running around through the mayhem to boot! Gadzooks!

Decades later I finally got to see them both.
Rockets! Monsters! Adventures! Running around! Grisly concept! Scantilly clad women! Mayhem!
Ho-hum.
I can't say I was terribly disappointed, but I think the movies I had made up in my mind, working with bare plot points, were better.
OK, I don't recall what those scenarios were now, but, like Paul Simon sang in his popular song, Kodachrome:
I know they'd never match
My sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white
