Quicksand Monster/Horror Card?

From my elementary-school years, roughly 1960 or so, I have a vague memory of collecting a few monster cards. These were like baseball cards except with a monster or horror theme. While I remember very little of these, I have some memory of one featuring quicksand. My memory says there was a female character roughly shoulder-deep. It might have been deeper, and at leastone arm was reaching as if calling for help. Does anyone remember or know of what I am describing?

Was it a photo or an illustration?

Well that's not something I can answer with certainty. My best recollection would be a photo but it was something on the order of 53 to 55 years ago and I was about 9

My older brother had these trading cards that were either frames or promotional stills from old horror movies that had dumb (but supposed to be funny) captions on the bottom. For some reason, I kind of remember one of them having the picture of the woman sinking in the quicksand in From Hell It Came.

This would have been the picture. Not sure if it's an actual memory, or just my imagination running away with me. Just thought I'd offer it up to see if it jogged your memory.

Its possible but I don't think so. I am very familiar with that particular picture and I have the movie itself on a DVD. I only got a brief look at the card, of course, so I can't be sure. I really appreciate the effort though.
