Isle of the Dead, the 1945 Mark Robson undead plague horror thriller ("A graves dank darkness smothers the screams of a girl"; "What evil force is loose that empties graves of those long dead... buries those still alive... leaves behind it death - and worse?"; "She isn't dead yet she's buried alive!"; "Appalling! Weird! Baffling!"; "Isle of the Dead will keep you screaming!"; "Graves in frenzy!"; "The living buried!"; "The dead distorted!"; "'Vorvalaka!'...the world you hear only once - for the next time it's uttered You Are Dead!"; produced by Val Lewton; about an army general who, after a war in 1912, goes to an island to visit the grave of his wife, but he finds her body missing, and he learns that the natives dig up old graves looking for valuables, and he declares that he will find those people and punish them, and he soon is involved with vampires and zombies) starring Boris Karloff, Ellen Drew, Marc Cramer, Katharine Emery, Helen Thimig, and Jason Robards Sr.

Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic.

Condition: very good. There is a faint horizontal scuff line running across the upper part of the image, going through Karloff's neck, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. There is a tiny scratch mark in the middle left of the image background and a smaller similar mark in the upper right image background. Other than the above, the still is in nice condition!
