Date Sold 10/15/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Werewolf of London, the 1935 Stuart Walker England monster horror thriller ("Beware! Terror strikes in the night"; "Murder in the moonlight! Terror stalks! An unseen hand strikes!"; "Beware the wicked hour and the stalking being!"; "Beware the stalking being, half human, half beast!") starring Henry Hull (in the title role as the werewolf), Warner Oland (best remembered as Charlie Chan in the 20th Century Fox series), Valerie Hobson, Lester Matthews, Clark Williams, Spring Byington, Lawrence Grant, and J.M. Kerrigan. Note that this is the "forgotten" Universal horror movie of the 1930s, because Universal abandoned this portrayal of the werewolf, and created an entirely different wolf-man in 1941 with Lon Chaney Jr. in very different makeup from that which Henry Hull wore in this movie. But this was Universal's very first werewolf movie! 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 this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]. It is fortunate that the majority of the image and almost all of the title remains (there is a man at lower left that is mostly missing, most of the first "W" of the title is missing, and the word "Beware!" at the top with ghostly eyes to the right of it is also entirely missing, as is the back of the werewolf at bottom right). We have never auctioned this before, but we have a color copy of a completed card, and we will send that with this window card to the high bidder, which would certainly aid in restoration (although the card could still be displayed as it is). Also note that first release 1935 movie paper from this classic first Universal werewolf movie is beyond scarce, and the posters from it sell for tens of thousands of dollars! We have never before auctioned this window card. Condition: fair. The card was trimmed on three sides, affecting the image on all three sides, and the first "W" of the title (see above for more on this). Please bear this in mind and consider the cost of restoration prior to placing a bid on this incredibly rare window card. Learn More about condition grades
