Date Sold 3/19/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1945 first release window card! Not only that, but we could not find an image of a complete window card ANYWHERE on the Internet! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: fair. 5" was trimmed from the top of the card, which includes some of the top of the image. This is primarily the caption above Carradine's head that read "DRACULA" and the tagline above the art to the right of that area, which read "ALL NEW... ALL TOGETHER". Other than that trimming, the card is in really nice condition (there is surface paper loss in the bottom left corner that slightly touches the yellow background area). We can provide the buyer of this ultra rare card with an image of the complete card from the pressbook, which would greatly help in restoring this. However, bear in mind the trimming and the cost of restoration before bidding on this. Learn More about condition grades
