A 1950 Realart Re-Release Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 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 this poster is extremely rare. We have only auctioned one other example of it before (and that example was laminated, and the person who bought it re-consigned it, so other than this poster we are currently auctioning, we have only auctioned a laminated version).

Note that this poster has been graded and authenticated by mpgrading.com. This means that a corner of the poster has been "encrypted with a unique 9-digit serial number with invisible DNA-laced ink", which can be seen with a special scanner, and this info has been attached to a separate Certificate of Authenticity. On that certificate, the poster has been given a grade of "very fine - (8)", but of course, that grading scale is not the same as ours, and on ours, we grade this poster as "very good" (see below). Also 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, but because it was folded perfectly in half each way, and because laying flat has not diminished the folds, it could also be sent in a small flat package (together with folded posters or lobby cards). The winning bidder should contact us with whether they want it sent rolled in a tube or in a flat package, and we will do as they ask.

Condition: very good. The poster has tiny paper loss at the crossfold, with 1 1/2" of horizontal separation there. It had separation at the left and right ends of the horizontal fold, and someone put clear tape on the back of those areas. There is a tiny tear in the lower right border. Other than the above, the poster is in surprisingly nice condition!
