Auction History Result #0507 BRIDE OF THE MONSTER linen 1sh '56 Wood Date Sold 3/11/2003Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) Bride of the Monster, the 1956 Ed Wood (billed as "Edward D. Wood, Jr.") monster horror thriller ("It'll make your skin crawl!"; "The Screen's Master of the weird in his newest and most daring shocker!") starring Bela Lugosi ("More horrifying than 'Dracula' - 'Frankenstein'"), Tor Johnson, Tony McCoy, Loretta King, and Harvey Dunn. Note that Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is better known than this movie, but many people think this movie is even better (worse?) than that "classic"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good. This poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. It appears to have had the following defects: There were tears in the right of the middle horizontal foldline extending up into Lugosi's hand and down into the girl's hair and there was a 1" x 1/2" triangular piece of paper loss at the right edge of Lugosi's hand. Those areas have been restored and while they are evident on close inspection they look good from any distance away. The poster also has had minor restoration on the other foldlines. The borders of the poster had pinholes, tears, smudges, and small areas of paper loss (just slightly into the edges of the image), and the person who did the restoration chose to paint over the blank white borders (they did a very good job, and the vast majority of collectors would not be aware of it). While one would of course prefer an unrestored copy of this poster, the image area has truly not had much restoration, and the poster really does look quite nice from any distance away!
