An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) The Return of the Vampire, the 1943 Lew Landers werewolf vampire monster horror thriller ("Beauty at the mercy of a Monster!"; "Man? Or Monster? Or Both?"; "Terrifying! Paralyzing! Horrifying!"; about an English family who thought they rid themselves of a vampire, but during World War II, German bombs free the monster; it reclaims the soul of its former wolfman servant and plots to take revenge on the family) starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as the Vampire), Frieda Inescort, Miles Mander, Matt Willis (as the werewolf), and Nina Foch. Note that Columbia would have loved to refer to Bela Lugosi's character as "Dracula", but Universal owned the rights to the character, so they could only refer to him as "the vampire", and he was named "Armand Tesla" (and Matt Willis plays Tesla's werewolf servant!). 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: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. There is an extra horizontal fold 2" below the regular top foldline, and another one 2" above the regular bottom foldline, and there are several horizontal creases 1" below that additional upper horizontal fold (in the area above the figure of the girl and in the coat of the werewolf). There are creases, tears, and smudges around the edges of the poster. There is a piece of brown paper tape on the back of the top left corner, that was not put there for a restoration purpose. This poster IS in lesser condition, but all three faces have very few defects, and paperbacking this poster would diminish the creases, and after proper touch up to the borders and other areas in need of restoration, the poster will look great, and there will not be a lot of restoration within the image area.
