An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Terror, the 1928 Roy Del Ruth London England horror mystery haunted house thriller ("From the play by Edgar Wallace"; the then very popular plot of having a group of very difficult people brought together at a spooky house, and there is a mysterious person called "The Terror", who is terrorizing them; one of the very first "talking" pictures; it had a synchronized talking soundtrack on Vitaphone discs, which were like records, and had to be played on a disc player, and the hope was that the movie and discs would stay exactly synchronized throughout the entire movie, but that did not work very well!) starring May McAvoy, Louise Fazenda, Edward Everett Horton, Alec B. Francis, Mathew Betz, Holmes Herbert, and John Miljan. Note that even the credits were read aloud (by Conrad Nagel, who was himself not credited). 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 first release 1928 movie paper from this Edgar Wallace movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a one-sheet and a title card from this movie (and those were 16 and 19 years ago!), as well as a different example of this window card. Condition: good to very good. The card has some faint stains scattered throughout, with tiny paper loss in the bottom left corner and a tear in the bottom right corner. Someone attached a piece of another card to the bottom left corner and put a piece of tape on the back of the bottom right corner. In spite of the light staining scattered throughout, this extremely rare card can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly restoration can be performed. Learn More about condition grades
