Auction History Result 4y0102 HOUSE OF DRACULA linen 1sh 1945 Wolfman Lon Chaney Jr., Glenn Strange as Frankenstein, all new! Date Sold 7/7/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) House of Dracula, the 1945 Erle C. Kenton Universal vampire monster horror thriller ("All new... All together!"; "Frankenstein's Monster, Wolf Man, Dracula, Mad Doctor, Hunchback"; the seventh Universal Frankenstein movie, and this was the second "all-star" movie, a sequel of sorts to "House of Frankenstein", with all of its best monsters brought together in a single movie!) starring Lon Chaney Jr. (as Lawrence Talbot/The Wolf Man), Martha O'Driscoll, John Carradine (as Count Dracula), Lionel Atwill, Onslow Stevens (taking over the role of The Mad Doctor from Boris Karloff), Glenn Strange (as Frankenstein's monster, uncredited on the "House of Frankenstein" posters, and credited here, but still not receiving the credit he deserved!), Jane Adams (as the hunchback nurse; oddly, she was sometimes billed by Universal as "Poni Adams"!), and Ludwig Stossel. Note that once again Universal has an extremely politically incorrect "hunchback" as a monster on par with Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Wolf Man, but in "House of Frankenstein", the hunchback was a man, and in this movie, the hunchback is a beautiful woman and a key plot point is that the mad doctor will "make her beautiful" by surgically fixing her hunch back!

The poster's borders were trimmed off, including the small printer and litho information from the bottom border. The poster also had paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds, with small tears and tiny paper loss scattered down the vertical fold. It had pinholes, tears, and some small paper loss around the edges, and some pinholes near the center of the poster. It had paper loss in the middle left of the image, in the area at the bottom of the cape, and extending to the top of the Mad Doctor's hair. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who backed the poster did a pretty good job, and it displays pretty well, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Also, they replaced the blank borders with blank borders from other posters, and they did not attempt to recreate the missing text from the bottom border. In spite of the above defects and restoration, the poster will display pretty well on the new owner's wall, but please bear all of the above in mind before bidding on this cool poster.
