  • Industry: Movies
  • STARS: BELA LUGOSI, LON CHANEY, GLENN STRANGE
  • GENRE: HORROR, COMEDY
  • Condition: Poster was folded at one time but has been stored flat for many years and will most likely be shipped rolled. There are very few pin/tack holes, some border tears, a couple of tiny border chips, some border creasing, some smudges and some water soluble paper tape on the back. There is no fold wear and no fading whatsoever. The poster is pretty much in the same condition(pre-restoration) as most of the others out there and maybe even a little better. Poster is still presentable as is, as I've had it for the last 40 years or so, but with some minor restoration, would definitely look to be in NEAR MINT Condition. (SEE PHOTOS). BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS WITH BRIGHT VIVID COLORS ON THIS 73 YEAR OLD CLASSIC UNIVERSAL HORROR COMEDY HALF SHEET!!

    TODD FEIERTAG is a name that is synonymous with Vintage Movie Posters since he's been buying and selling them for 58 years!!  On MARCH 1, 1997 he conducted a single owner sale of his own material at Sotheby's(the largest auction house in the World) in New York which was the most successful movie poster auction of all time.  Many of the rare posters were the finest examples in existence and/or the only known examples.  Included in that auction was an original one sheet for THE MUMMY(1932) which sold for 3,500.00, more than doubling the previous high record for a poster.  An astounding amount at that time and an auction record which stood for almost eighteen years.
