Auction History Result t088 HOUSE OF DRACULA movie title lobby card R50 Lon Chaney, all the greats! Date Sold 10/31/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1950 Realart Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 10 1/2" x 13 1/4") (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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. Someone carefully trimmed small amounts from each of the four borders, likely to make it fit in a frame. There is added paper loss in the top left corner just touching the edge of the image background and a pair of staple holes in what remains of the top right blank corner. There are faint smudges in the left of the bottom border and a scuff mark in Frankenstein's chin, a faint scuff line in Dracula's cape, and a vertical scratch between the Mad Doctor and the Hunchback. It appears the card was likely cleaned and "pressed", but that no actual restoration was performed. There is a thin strip of surface paper loss from the back of the top right corner and a lesser amount from the back of the top left corner, likely from where tape was removed. The card displays really well, but please do not bid on this card unless you have carefully read the above, and understand exactly what condition defects this card has!
